It was Mother’s Day in Finland last weekend. It’s different from say, Ireland, where it is celebrated in March. I obviously no longer celebrate it at all, not since my mother died, and my grandmothers are both long gone.
My dad posted a parcel with some Finnish goodies way back in March, and it finally arrived, five weeks later, on my mother’s birthday. This chocolate bar was in it. The contents didn’t last long, but I snapped a picture of the cover because it struck me as important that the parcel arrived on her birthday of all days.
The text on the cover says, “I <3 mum.”
