The Family Closet: Mother’s Day
Some people have the greatest relationship with their mother.
Other people don’t. I’m embarrassed by some of the things I
did to my parents as a teenager. Nobody’s perfect. We got
along better as adults. My mother died last year, and I miss her.
The Mother of Mother’s Day: Anna Jarvis (Mother’sDayCelebration.com)
“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes
who appear once a year on a greeting card with their
virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt
a hand for life and play each card one at a time the
best way they know how. No mother is all good or all
bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry.
Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.

Very true. Erma Bombeck said it well. I am sorry for your loss last year and unfortunately my own mother has a disease that will eventually kill her as well. Its been hard to come to terms with that but there isn’t much i can do other than try to experience as much with her as i can for now. Build the memories that i will keep with me till its my turn. On a happier note i did have a great mothers day with her. Take care.

Sorry to hear of your mums passing away last year. I think it’s good to keep those memories which are precious to you about your Mum as you do, just as of you with all differences now dissolved are warmly held of you.
Best wishes.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mother!
I guess everyone regrets saying some things they shouldn’t have to theyr mothers, but the best thing is that mothers understend that! I can say that as a mother of 2 young boys!
