I lost my mother a year ago this Easter. I too made a quilt to remind me of her. I still have to finish the binding then will post a picture. Mom lived in our home for 10 years & I took care of her so it still hurts a lot but the good memories are beginning to creep in - can't wait till they just take over!

Mom used to say that she just refused delivery of bad thoughts and feelings. So now when I catch myself I think of her burying a pan in the back yeard 2 hours before a formal dinner because she burned the food and didn't have time to scrub it. I can still picture her in a dress with a shovel and a still smoking pan.
Then my day is better until next time. So maybe if you find a specific memory that you can recall when things get tuff.

As I sit here wiping my tears, I realize how easy it is to take things for granted. Although I spoke to her last night, I'll be calling my mom as soon as I know she has returned home from church. Thank you all for the reminder. They are beautiful words for the special women in your lives.

Wonderful tribute. Your mom reminds me of my gran, the greatest Marine Corps wife ever. :0) Worked full time her entire life, was the hostess with the mostest, spanking clean house, respectable children... hard work!

It will be 39 years on May2 for me, and I still miss Mom so much. I don't believe we ever get over that. But I talk over all my problems with her, and she gets me through all of them. I can usually hear her say just what I "know" I need to hear. LOL Sounds as if we all had great Moms.
