KPRC 2 asked our Facebook followers about their plans for the special day, and we received so many fun activities and traditions. Among other things, Houstonians said they planned to go to church, enjoy a good meal or BBQ, go fishing and attend a gun safety class.
Those whose mothers have passed, some even to COVID-19, shared messages about celebrating your mother while they’re alive. Many said they set to visit their graves and leave followers.
Here are some of the Facebook responses:
