I lost my Mom ON Mothers day in 1987. And like you now I AM THE MOM. It is always a bittersweet day for me. Lost my MIL on my birthday in 1995. Although we were never really close I always think of her on my birthday.

I was 5 when I lost my Mom, 16 when I lost my step-Mom. I miss them when I think of my wedding and had no Mom there. Don't really have to many memories of my birth Mom, and not many good ones with my step-Mom.
Happy Mothers Day to all of you out there!

You have special memories of your mother that you will always be able to treasure and that you can pass on to your children and grandchildren. Your words are a wonderful, sweet tribute to your mother.
I love the picture of her -- you have her smile. :wink:

Yes, Mother's Day is a hard one for me. Momma died Thanksgiving Day 2008. Still fairly fresh wound to my heart. And then I get to do it all over again next month. Daddy died in '81 when I was 20 years old. Amazing how even after 30 years the heart can still ache.

Even though I didn't get the card until today, those words bless me in an undescribable way.

She never ever complained about her aches and pains, or the fact that she had deteriorating eyesight, and dramatic health problems.
She was always in love with her family and the best mother, grandmother and great grandmother anyone could ask for. I know that she and my hubby are having raw clam-eating competitions and that she has fallen back into the habit of calling my Dad "Red" because of his carrot-top red hair. I miss them all, but know that we will all be reunited one day. What a party that will be!
