Mothers day for alot of us is bittersweet my Mom passed away 8 years ago on the 26th of January 3 days after her 72nd birthday I helped my Dad settle her into a Manor after she'd  been in the hospital for almost 5 months she had so many health issues Dads health was suffering I helped in every way I could my Mum was on oxygen 7/24 for the last year or so of her Life she quit smoking 6 years before she passed after she broke her hip, I was with her when she passed away I sent Dad home that evening because I was worried about him not realizing that she'd be gone that night  a nurse woke me up at 2 in the morning and listened to her heart and pronounced her gone I remember just standing there dumfounded looking at my Mom. This is going to be a totally different kind of Mothers day for everyone this year

 here's a picture of my Mum, Mason and I at the Manor my daughter Mandy took the picture it's the last one taken it was18 days before she died, I love the expression on her face I'd been chasing Mason up and down the hallways..... he wore himself out so we turned the TV on for him it was a wonderful visit especially with Mandy and Mason with me.

What a beautiful photograph & story of your mon’s passing. My mom has been gone for a long time now, 18 years. She was 79 & her daughters & granddaughters & one grandson were all with her. I have been with many people when they passed but being with my mother was unforgettable. The one grandson who was there was killed in an accident several years later. I like to think they are together. Both of them had the ability to make me laugh until l cried.  He was my sister’s son, l cannot imagine that loss. Happy Mother’s Day to you & ALL of us lucky enough to have that title.

Happy Mother's Day to all.  I also miss my mother ( along with much of my family) who passed at 97.  I had the opportunity to take care of her for several years before she passed.  I don't have any children, but that was by choice.  But I've always been the mother to many wonderful pets and I have gotten some wonderful mother's day gifts from them over the years.  I don't know how they got those credit cards.   I continue to celebrate all holidays in my own way.

I hope those that are separated from their mother's right now, will be able to reconnect soon.  I couldn't imagine being separated from mine.

PS  High winds and it's snowing again!
