mother's day
Thank you for your post. I am so happy your special mom has this time with you and your sister. Sounds like you are off to a great start for Mom's Day.
My husband took me out last night to a real "deli" for dinner. For you east coast folks you'll know what I'm talking about. I got hooked on this food when the corporate office I worked out of was in New Jersey. We used to go to NYC and find the deli's with kosher food. We found one here, albeit, quite a drive from our home. But mmmmmmmmm so good. My older son sent a bouquet of roses. They were all different colors and opening so huge and pretty. So its off to a good start. Again, all you Moms, happy mother's day! Mary
HI Jacki, I won't be with my kids tomorrow but it's ok. I saw them both about 2 weeks ago. Just knowing that they are both healthy, happy and in loving relationships makes my heart happy. And my daughter is now a mom so I enjoy that too.Little Hannah and Clara are just one.
Perhaps by next year they'll be able to make something for their mommy. Those are the gifts that I still treasure. Tho they were often "required" at school they are priceless to me. Little handprints, awkward poems, messy artwork. . . all works of art to me!
I'm missing my mom. I had her in my life for 58 years. I think I'll visit her yard tomorrow. I refer to Donna, the lady who bought Mom's home, as "The lady who takes care of Mom's gardens for her!" I'm welcome there anytime. I want to get some starts from her garden for mine. Hen and chickens, lilacs, a start of her sage plant, anything that I can glean. To sit on that back porch will feel wonderful.
Think I'll take Donna something for Mother's Day. Didn't think. . . perhaps they will be busy there. I'll do a drive by first!
Think Mike and I may get out for a picnic. We've been working so hard in the yard. We're sore, tired, and achy! But it's a good achy. The yard is looking so nice.
Wishing you all a nice day. If your mom is no longer on this earth, reach out to someone else. The little girl next door to my mom always brought her a May basket full of flowers and left it on the porch. Mom loved that.

Happy Mothers Day to you.
By the way, I have used the line on my wife ("You're not my mother") but never seriously. She is the mother of my children, and my appreciation for that can not be measured.
Will be spending the day with the kids and grandkids, instead of sleeping. May try to leave around 4 or 5 and go home and take a nap.
Will try to call my mom, but don't know if she will answer the phone. She has not answered the phone the last 3 times I called, plus did not call me for my birthday. Oh well, I tried. She is upset at my wife and I for living in Texas. She feels my wife took me away and has never forgiven her for it. Some people.
The military moved me here, and when my time was up, I realized I could more easily afford living her than in NY. Bottom line. But my mother can't see that.
Hope you all have better relationships with your mother than I do. It is sad, but it is a fact. God bless all of you.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
This Mother's Day is a special one to me since I am now a Grandma. It puts a whole new and wonderful perspective on life once that happens. I now know what unconditional love is...I just wish that I had the same relationship with my step son but it is getting better through the years so that is a good thing.
I lost my Mom 7 years ago. She passed at the age of 82 from Alzheimer's and I miss her more and more as the time goes on in my life. I guess we never stop missing our parents...and I feel such joy in having them as my parents, my friends, my teachers and as the first people who unconditionally loved me. Mom would now be 88 years and wonder what she would be like if that dreaded disease hadn't come into our lives.
May everyone have the most wonderful and happiest of Mother's Day today...be it with your Mother, your children, grands or anyone that knows the wonder and greatness of each of you.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
