Mother's Day

[~GoldEyes~]

Hi Everyone,

I am not usually good at starting threads, but I thought I would give this a try.

Sunday is Mother's Day, Please post here, tell us how you feel about your Mother's what makes them special to you. How will you show her how much you love her on SUnday. I dont have a MOther, she passed away years ago, so this SUnday will be very hard for me to deal with. Very emotional time for me, so please when you have time, tell us whats in your hearts

Love
GE

we had the same idea sweety but hey you never can celebrate your Mom too much. My Mom is very much alive, married to my dad 32 years and she means everything to me....guess who calls every morning just to say I love you? I'm sorry your Mom has passed on but I know she watches you. Love ya hon....

Thank you sweety, hold on to your mom, cherish every moment you have with her. L et her know just how much she means to you , howmuch you love her.

 

[rosylady]

This may sound harsh but I really hope my mother has croaked by now, haven't spoken to her in 14 yrs and not about to. She was/is a horrible mother.

But on the other hand I have a wonderful mother-in-law who means the world to me. Shehas always treated me as part of the family and is always there with advice and hugs.

Goldie....good thread sweetheart


My parents are gone but I have come to know more each Mother's Day how much I miss and loved my mom...She was a strong woman with compassion for everyone....a beautiful humor and the will of a God....to raise two sons the best she could. I always think had she lived longer maybe she could have known the many lives she touched and influenced....
I also realize she would have beat me senseless for the times I fell off the path....but I would welcome just one more from her this Mother's Day.....

Love you Mom

Nice Thread

My parents past away years ago.....Every Mother's Day she is felt deeper in my heart......she was a wonderful lady who everyone loved very much......1sexy got a chance to meet her and know her......closed to the end, she didn't want to leave me.....but knowing the friends I have, she knew I would be okay......I love you Mom forever......

 

[~GoldEyes~]

Wow

Drying my tears right now. I also did NOT get along with my MOM growing up. She was a very abusive woman, Physically and Verbally. But after I was married, and she became ill (Cancer) we became very close. We talked about the past, the hurt feelings etc. I am glad I had that chance before she passed away.

Here is to ALL MOTHER'S here on earth and in heaven.

 

[~GoldEyes~]

It could also be someone that is very special to you, that is LIKE a mother, That I do have here. She is the most wonderful woman I have ever met. She has taken me to my treatments several times, always there for me when I wanted to cry on bad days. Also had kind words for me, and also yelled at me too. Just like a real mom, So BUNNY this is for you, I LOVE YOU !

 

[wildrose70]

I also didn't have a good relationship with my mother for years...and then my daughter and I went thru the same type of relationship...but my folks are both gone now...and my daughter became the best daughter you cld ask for....and a wonderful woman....so I'm thankful for that...

I have always tried to be the best mom I cld to all the kids ...but the things I'm most proud of is my relationshipe with all my grandkids.....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL LADIES OF LIT

Both my parents passed on when I was a teenager, So I focus all my Mother's Day attention to the mother of our 5 sons......

And what a great guy you are...I love that for truly she is the mother It's so nice to know some men still respect and honor the women in their life

 

[Whispered_Promises]

Wow ! I am really surprised to find that I am not the only person who feels like that....my mother was a very unhappy lady....she wanted to make everyone as miserable as she was....until she was diagnosed with breast cancer....then she reached out to us. I was leery at first , after so many years of harsh unkind words. I found a very insecure woman who had been emotionally abused by her own mother. It is amazing the difference a few years of maturity and a personal crisis makes in your jusdgement of someone. I can honestly say.....I loved my mother....although, I just didn't like her. I miss her terribly...for she was my mother. But, I am so grateful that her suffering has ended. It is a hard thing to watch somone you love suffer through the rigors of cancer....I lost both parents to the disease...and miss them both everyday. Sunday will be a rough one, but I rely on my friends for their love and support. I don't really have anyone in my life that is a mother figure....but, I do have many friends who are mothers..so to each and everyone of you out there that is blessed to be a mother....

Happy Mother's Day !! and bless you for you have the most challenging and rewarding job on earth. You are the personification of Mother Earth.....you nurture and give of yourself willingly and unselfishly every moment of everyday.

God Bless you all !

I love my mom more then anything else...she is my best friend, my confidant and my shopping buddy. We are the best of Pals!!!I found this article in a magazine...I thought I would share....Tell me if this sounds familiar to all you mothers out there.
Mom and Dad were watching TV,when mom said "I'm tired I'm going to bed"
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next days lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for the next days dinner,checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and got the coffee pot ready for the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes in the wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the telephone book back in the drawer.
She watered the plants,emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned, stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out cash for a fieldtrip, and pulled a textbook from under a chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store, putting both near her purse.
She then washed her face with three in one cleanser, put on her night solution and age fighting moisturizer, brushed her teeth and filed her nails.
Dad called out "I thought you were going to bed"
"I'm on my way" she said. She put water in the dog's dish, put the cat outside, and then made sure the doors were locked.
She checked each kid and turned out the bedside lamp, hung up a shirt , threw some dirty socks in the hamper and had a brief conversation with one still doing homework.
In her room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened the shoe rack. She added three things to her six most important things to do list.
She said her prayers and visualized the acomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in paticular. "I'm going to bed"
And he did- without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here?
hmmmm and we wonder why women live longer....
I would like to wish all the women and some of the men...a Happy Mothers Day....you deserve it!

I thank god every day that my mom is still here for me and my girls. Our life would not be complete without her. She has helped me in more ways than one and I will be forever grateful to her. She is always calling just to say hi, do you need anything or do you want to do soemthing. The love she has for me and all the other kids and grandkids is unconditional and doesn't stop.

Mom I love you and thank you for being there for me!



Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's and single dad's.

 

[jubileeslave]

mother

I can not remember my Mother. I do know that I have her red hair and laughing eyes. I have been told this by a friend of my Mother's. Now he has passed on and the few memories about how I was with my Mother died with him.

I certainly hope that every mother has a nice day on sunday and at least gets a flower. It doesn't have to be a rose because a child has a lot of love to make up for one.

Happy Mother's day

I know how my dad felt when I was born now. The second my daughter "popped" I looked into my ex's eyes and saw the same thing my father must have seen.

I saw a mother. A woman who would love her children no matter what. A guardian who would stand behind them and encourage them and always let them know she was rooting for them. I saw a person who would never judge her children, but encourage, love and support them. My daughters are lucky to have their mother. I know some other children who are just as lucky as mine are, and I know how lucky I am to have my mom as well.

My mom never judged me, she never turned her back on me, and she was always there for me. She saw me through graduations, surgeries, bike accidents, car wrecks, a divorce, good times and bad. I made it because she was there, struggling to make sure I could make it through those times. My mom has a different name than the rest of you, she lives in a different state, has different hair and so on, but deep down, she is the same as any of the rest of you. She put her children first, and did everything to make sure we were ok.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's...or as I know my mom will say to me when I call her on Sunday, "Happy Mother's day to you you little mother!"

With a smile on my face I watch you go,
no more aches, no more pain For however long I always know.

There are so many things Ive wanted to say,
With knowing the words theres only one way.
In my prayers to you
I have so many dreams I wanted to share,
But being me I did not dare.

But now you are there, and I can say,
The way I feel so lonely day after day.
Never forgetting you to this day

Watching you sleep is such an easy thing to do,
Knowing at peace you will be It makes me realize how much I love you.

I've now found a way to make life better,
I've found love Always & Forever.

hugs goldeneyes hope u enjoy this one my moms passed gone also

MY WONDERFUL MOM

Through all these years,
the experience of motherhood
has taught me so much,
for I sometimes seen you
in so many shades of light.
Some were vague,shadowed visions;
others were vibrant and bright.
At times we giggled and laughed,
and there were, of course,
differences of opinions.
But we always came away
understanding a little more about
each other, and of ourselves.

You've watched, at times
That I struggled.
I know it must have hard.
Just as hard and difficult,
watching me find my way,
in this crazy world
sometimes very unforgiving.
And for that, I respected you.
You had taught me
to be confident and strong.

You were there and held my hand,
when I gave birth to my
own daughter your grandchild.
I held her tight in my arms;
and you held us both.
As I watch my daughter grow,
I see now what you went thru
and how know you always cared.

With in me you are
the arms... that caught her,
with her first steps,
the sleepless nights,
spent holding her feverish body.
You are the kisses
that heal her hurts,
the smiles, and laughing
at her funny little jokes,
and even the tears
We shared with her over life's
little disappointments.

Most of all, Mom,
you gave me the greatest gift the love in my heart.
While I'm looking
into my daughers' beautiful blue eyes,
I see you, I see myself,
I see us together and I see the mother
that one day she will also be.
My best friend, My mom
I LOVE YOU...

Wonderful Thread GE

My MOM lives with my sister at the moment....She is the light of my life. She taught me to love and care for others and to always hold my head up high with my shoulders back... She is not just my MOM but my best friend. I was lucky growing up that I could tell her everything and she never judged me. I am one of seven children.... so to my Mother....Thank you for being you and I love you soooooooooo much..

Angel was right I did get to meet her mother and what a wonderful woman she was. So Helen as you look down on us...slap your daughter in the head.... She would too...


I have met many women in Lit that care about their families and I have become friends with one that I admire alot...Wildrose70...May you have a wonderful Mother's Day and I love ya kiddo..

To all the Women in Lit that are Mothers...I wish you all a Wonderful Mother's day. To those who are not and the men...May your Mother's have a wonderful day...

AS I LOOK BACK
As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering ...

Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?
For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgement, courage, and honesty?
I wonder if I've ever thanked you for the simple things;
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?

If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now
And I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

This is such a great idea GE...thankyou


I dont even really know where to start about my Mum...
Shes not only my Mum...shes become one of my closest
friends over the years..
Shes loved me no matter what Ive done...no matter
what Ive said.......and shes never wanted more than
I could give.
Shes always be totally open..
in fact i remember coming home from school and asking
her what a blow job was...she found out and told me.
I even talked to her before my first sexual experience.
Shes been there crying with me when i felt like my world
was falling apart...and there helping me stick it back together..

I alot of us think our Mum's are wonderful..
but mine really is the very best....and i love her with
all that is within me.

Thanks Mum for making me me...and letting me be me

[MercyMia]

Hi GoldEyes,

Thank you for this thread. I've always loved my mom. She's still alive and going really strong. I treasure her and try to email and call her several times a week. We don't live in the same country, but I try to visit her at least 3 or 4 times a year.

She's intelligent, she's compassionate, she's hardworking. She has a way of encouraging people to be their best selves. She takes the time to talk to people in a real way and not just do the surface kissy fluffy stuff. Mom is real.

She taught me a lot of things--most of all to love myself and to love other people, even when they are not at their best. She encouraged me to read and learn, to be an independent person.

Mom wasn't a perfect parent. She made a lot of mistakes. Now that I'm a parent, I try to do my best, but when I fail, I can be kind to myself and move forward. I learned that from Mom.

I read in a book on parenting that we don't need to be right all the time, we need to be present for our kids. That's what my mom was--she was always accessible. She had a full time job but still had time to listen to us and plan things to do together. I have a lot of good memories--indoor picnics on rainy days, bedtime stories at night, home made cloth dolls, Mom staying up late to sew clothes for us.

She had breast cancer 4 and a half years ago. Thank heavens, she survived the mastectomy and chemo. We're hoping her last ultrasound shows she is clear so that we can approach the 5-year time frame and breathe a little more easily.

My warmest greetings to Lit moms on Sunday. I wish you good health and happiness always.

Mia

Thank you for posting

My mom also had cancer, not breast cancer, LUng and also brain tumor. SHe passed away 10 years ago this past APril. SO this will be very hard for me this weekend. My Husbands mom also past away, 2 yrs ago. My girls have no grandma, so it will be very difficult for them too. I am lucky to have someone very special in my life now. A woman that is like a mother, I love her dearly, like the mother I wish I had growing up. SH e is always there for me, always calling me to see how I am feeling, I thank GOD everyday I have her in my life
