First of all, I want to wish all the Mothers here a Happy Mother's Day. I'm having some trouble because this is my first without my Mom. She passed away unexpectedly last November. I'm trying to keep my spirits up for my own children. My 10 year old made me the most precious card. He said he tried to make me a rocket (out of paper, mind you), but found that it was much too dangerous to use in the house, so he made me a snowflake instead. He keeps me laughing, even though I know in his mind, he was quite serious. I don't know what I would do without him!
I hope those of you that have lost their Mothers find peace today. I know my mother lives on in my heart and in my faulty genes. LOL. She also had autoimmune diseases.
Hugs,
First Mother's Day without my Mom

Happy Mother's Day to you
I'm very sorry that your Mom passed away unexpectedly. It must be so terribly hard on you and your family.
I love the faulty genes part.

My mother died twenty two years ago and every Mothers day I still get up in the morning and wish her a Happy Mothers Day. Mothers are with us forever and forever .
I concentrate on all the Happy and cherished memories that can be mine forever.
The first few years are the hardest.
My heart goes out to you.
Things do get better. Love her as much as you ever did. It makes a difference.
Love

Denise,
I understand your loss and your feelings.
My father died suddenly at 55... I was in my early 30's at the time. Though time has healed some of the wounds, I still feel as though I was robbed of a wonderful father and friend far too early. Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) was the day of dad's death. So as that day has recently come and gone, I am glad to be beyond that marker for yet another year.
Hoping you have a peaceful day.

Denise,
Happy Mother's Day to you. This is my second Mother's Day since my mother died (after a long, sweet life). It does get easier. I do still miss her, but that has become somehow a sweetness instead of an ache. How wonderful that your son is shining a bright light for you on what should be a special day for you.
Thank you for sharing the day, and honoring your mother in this way.
Love,
Sara
