Mothers still get awards
Your reminder about Mother’s Day ( Connexion , May 2017) said mothers of large families “used to” receive awards. Well, they still do/can.
My mother-in-law received one only a few years ago. The government does not seem to actively or automatically give them out, but a family member or friend can start the process.
