I don't always give my mother a card. I don't like a lot of the cards out there.
I did call her yesterday and offer to bring the plans for the stained glass panel I'm making for her to her. She said "Then it won't be ready for mother's day?" It won't. But she wasn't feeling well enough to get out and about.
Why don't you give your kids a call, not mention the cards or day, and ask how they're doing? Act as if you have the sort of relationship you wish you had with them and over time maybe you will.
I do that a lot when my relationships with my family are on the trough phase of the relationship wave.
