My Mom is still here - thank God. She is almost 95 years old. I thought she was old when she was 72 and I caught up to her!!!! It is strange being 72 and talk about my mother like she is younger than I am! Mom still has all her marbles and I must tell you what she said to me Friday. I grocery shop for her on Friday and bring her groceries to her and sit and have a cup of coffee with her. Well, many of you know that I was on the Quilting Board Weight Loss challenge and did lose a nice piece of weight. Well, she looked at me and said "Edie, you look like you have a pants full." My be-hind had gotten smaller (exercising and walking) and my slacks were hanging on me! I did take that as a compliment!!!!

It is a joy to listen to stories of days gone by, which really weren't that long ago!

And one more thing. I truly believe that your Mom or my Dad knows what we are doing and how we are feeling and are pretty darn proud of us!!!!!! Happy Mother's Day, Mom, from your daughter with a pants full! Edie

...what a touching tribute to your mom.

Doesn't matter how long it's been - when moms leave us, it leaves a hole in one's heart.

My mom is still with us - but she's 80 now and I know she won't be around forever.

Lost dad back in December - and that was difficult. Only comfort I have is the belief he's with God now.

Happy Mothers Day to all....whether you're a mom or not, you've touched someone's life as a mom!

Nice tribute to your mom!

Happy Mother's Day. Know your pain, I was older 44 when mom passed and that was over 14 years ago. With each special occasion you want her there to share. But I also feel she sees and knows and is very happy and pain free.

I also was very close to my mom. She died when I was 29 yrs old. I am 62 yrs old now.Like you said there are a handful of days in the year that I really seem to miss her more than the other days. This is one of them.Sorry to say but you will all always miss your mama.That's just part of life.I was so lucky to have such a wonderful mom.We sure had alot of fun together in the years we did have together.Happy Mother's day to all of you even if you are not a mom,you at least had one.Mary

Thank you for sharing the wonderful tribute to your Mom.
I have a difficult time with Mother's Day. My family helps to fill the hole in my heart that she left when she passed away.
Margie,my Mom, has been gone for almost 12 years(1999). I got to have her for 68 years; I was 42 then; she had 2 aneurysms in her brain and fell ill and went into a coma.
I talk to her all the time and she visits me in my dreams sometimes too. I do believe that our deceased family members are with us and hear us talking to them.
I have a wonderful husband and 2 lovely children. They got me a dozen red roses and 2 funny cards today.

I know the feeling also. My Mom was my best friend, it has been 10 years and I still have a hole in my heart. I started quilting a few years ago on Mom's old 401 singer. I feel her with me everytime I set at that machine and hear her say just take it easy you can fix any mistake. Mom made all our clothes (5 girls) when we were little. Money was very hard to come by but we always had a new dress for the holidays. I love and Miss my Mom so much.
