True. Actually my parents both still have their moms.
My fathers mother is 91 and unfortunately dementia has taken ahold fully.
My mothers mother was at the Mothers Day party that my brother, sister and I threw for her and my fathers birthday.
My fathers birthday is May 9th (today) as is mothers day, so it is a good party every year.
It is hard on those who have lost their mothers, but friends who have lost them were welcome to our party to eat, drink, and remember the good times.
No "She was stricken with cancer and suffered for 62 days before she died" allowed.
Just, "Remember when she tried to dance with uncle bob and knocked the punch bowl off the table?". and things like that.
very true,
enjoy being with your mother every chance you get, especially on Your birthday. That's the day that she treasures the most. The day she painfully struggled to bring you in to the world.
Her birthday next and mother's day.
When she's gone, you will miss her.
My mother is buried at Norwich England, I haven't been able to put flowers on her grave for quite some time now.
I miss the gal,
She taught me how to play barrelhouse boogie on the piano.
Man, she could play!
