Hair By Ms Marie: Happy Haitian Mother's Day

Happy Haitian Mother's Day from Hair By Ms Marie God's Favored

The meaning of tradition from Haiti for Mother's Day is different for us in some ways. There, we use the last Sunday of the month of May to celebrate our mother. 

Those who still have their mom alive will wear a red rose with green leaves as a corsage flower, the ones whose mom passed will be wearing a purple rose with black leaves through the whole month until it's over. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, everybody does it. 

Mother's Day in Haiti will feel happiness and also sadness. The living moms will get gifts and flowers, Those mommies who passed will get flowers on their graves, but we will still get this little quote (Se pou fe sa chak jou translation: Must do it every day) but we know deep down inside their hearts or really souls, they're happy. 

So here in America we only do most is wear the roses and some kid will ask their Haitian moms why they have two Mother's Day, There are two sets of kids in this scenario, the kid that is born here, USA, will celebrate the American one and the one from Haiti will celebrate at the end of May. Either way, let's enjoy them both. Once again, Happy Haitian's Mothers Day!
