On Sunday, 29th May Mothers Day is celebrated in the Dominican Republic.
In the Dominican Republic Mother's Day is always held on the last Sunday of May.
It is the day you should thank your mother in a very special way, overloading her with gifts.
Many Dominican children grow up without a father because the fathers usually leave wife and kids to search for another adventure.

But thanks to the perpetual care and love of the mothers, the children have a roof over their heads and have something to eat and if possible can go to school.
The gratitude of the children for the mother is therefore high.
To help the children express their gratitude, the flower shops and the many boutiques and shops are making special offers on washing machines, refrigerators, gas stoves, television sets, clothing and shoes.
In Sosúa in El Batey, Sosúa Abajo and Charamicos we see flags outside the shops and shop windows decorated, to present the special Mother's Day offers to lure the sons and daughters to buy their mother a present to express their gratitude for her.
