Good to hear your Dad is doing well, JB.
I lost my Grandad this year, and it's not same as losing a parent, but it has that same strange aspect of seeming like yesterday and seeming like an eon ago. Losing a parent must be horrible and I hope you mark the passing of your mum by remembering the good times of which there must be many.

My best to you and your family.
It's nice to hear that your father is doing well. This August it'll be 6 years since we lost my mother-in-law. It's hard to try and explain how long it seems she's been gone, but at the same time it feels like just yesterday she was filling our apartment's pantry with food every time she'd visit.

The loss of a loved one is a difficult experience, and anniversaries, especially the first, have a way of bringing back the emotions one went through all over again. They say time is the great healer, and it is, to some extent. It was five years last month since my wife died, and each anniversary is a little bit easier than the last. Rather than try to offer any kind of advice to you, or anyone else, over such a personal experience, I will only offer my heartfelt condolences to you, JB, and my hope that you find comfort in your memories of your mother. Best wishes to you during this difficult time. You are in my prayers.

This will be the first Mother's Day without my mother, who died the week before Christmas and a few days before her birthday. My fiancee's grandmother died on Christmas Day, so we wound up attending two funerals in two weeks on different ends of the country. Not one of the best holidays but I suppose it could make a good movie.
My mother was not herself for about ten years prior to her death (a euphemism for mentally ill), so it was sort of like she was gone for longer than that, but despite that, it's still a fresh wound.
My father has done as well as can be expected. As difficult as this sort of thing can be on a child, at least our day-to-day lives aren't a constant reminder of the loss, while my father goes home to an empty house for the first time in almost 40 years.
My father had prostate surgery a couple months ago (the cancer had fortunately not spread and he should fully recover), so it's like he's a character in a Russian novel but he's doing OK.

Today would have been my mother's 95 birthday. A sharp reminder of how quickly have passed the 8 years since she died.
