Don't forget that this coming Sunday, the 11th, is Mother's day. We only get one mother and I suspect that everyone has a special loving person for a mother. It's been nearly 45 years ago that I lost my mother and I still miss the woman. I try to do something special for my wife for she was that special person to our four children. The mothers deserve more than a day of recognition in my opinion. I'll not let the day pass without special thoughts of my mother and and to show my wife how I appreciate the loving effort she invested in our children.
 
It's been a little over ten years since I lost my mom, and the circumstances were such that I have carried a little guilt about it. Still, our faith is such that I have the assurance of seeing her again, and I have no doubt that she will say something along the lines of, "Sweetheart, you had no reason to feel badly (or especially) guilty about that at all."
She always wanted to be a mom and my sister and I had no doubt that we were loved to the moon and back, and I'm ever grateful for that (and for so much more). I'm really sad for those who weren't able to experience that.

My mom passed away in 2014 so we will visit her at the cemetery. I try to celebrate as much as I can for my wife, but once you lose your mom it's no longer a special day really.

Same year as my mom. Her birthday was in July, which was the last time I saw her healthy (in person) before the accident that led to her death. We talked all the time on the phone, though.

My mom was in and out of the hospital and nursing homes the last 2 years of her life, she was 69 when she passed. She didn't manage her diabetes properly nor did she get her mental health treated properly. She went to a doctor that said if you're depressed, just eat right and exercise :rolleyes:. When she passed it was kind of a blessing, as my dad was having to deal with all of this everyday and it was really starting to affect him. I miss my mom everyday, but am just glad she's in a better place.

My dad is 81 and will probably out live us all. Dude is healthy as it gets for his age and looks no where near his age. I can tell he is starting to get more sad with age because a lot of his close friends have moved on recently. Ok, this post is too long compared to my usual stuff and I managed to not make 1 perverted comment so I'll just end it here:goofydroid:
 
My mother died of inoperable cancer. It took a bit over a year between diagnosis and death. It was a miserable death that I would not wish off on my worst enemy. She had great insurance so they did all of their treatment tricks but everyone knew she was doomed but why not burn her to a crisp first for the money. If I sound bitter... I am. The saddest cut of all is that treatments haven't really progressed that much in the 45 years since she passed.

A little weird story about my mother when she was on her death bed. A nurse asked her how many children and grandchildren she had. She immediately responded that she had three children and six grandchildren. My sister and I said no mom you are wrong.. you had two children and have four grandchildren. After her death my sister and I unraveled the mystery of the three children. She lost one child between my sister and I that we didn't know about. Ten years after her death my wife became pregnant and the a year later we produced another after being told we probably were done having children. So... my mother had three children and six grandchildren and we were the ones that were wrong.
