My Mother passed away on October 16, 1998 at the age of 86. On the one hand I miss not having here here so I can call her and ask her questions about the family that have arisen since her death. But I really don't miss her in the emotional sense because I talk to her all the time. She and I were very close especially since my Brother and I were 8 years apart. Much of my personality characteristics I have inherited from her especially being rather blunt spoken which many people don't like; but she wasn't a bullshitter - people never had to guess where she stood on things. She told it as she saw it and that's I. Limited the number of close friends she had and I have, but fortunately she nor I have a need to be surrounded by people who only want you to tell them what they want to hear. My Brother passed away on February 5, 2004; and my Father, on March 6, 2004. So I am the "saving remnant" of our little nuclear family. As many Mothers are, mine was the glue that kept us all together. I miss her ever day but take solace in the fact that I have so many memories of her.

Even though my mom is not physically here, I hear her all the time. One of the things she used to say: if she were trying to remember something she was about to say, but forgot, she would quip (in this cackling voice) "must of been a lie." That always got me to laugh...and now it is passed onto my daughter, who said the very same thing just the other day. I think Mother's Day is really about what our moms have taught us, not where they physically are...love ya mom!

Happy Mother's day to mothers in America, Canada and others around the world which have Mother's Day today. The UK has mother's day in March.

Thank you Johnny for starting this thread. Like many other forumite's, my mom passed years ago, but on this special day of recognition for our mom's, I of course remember her and still love her very much. Happy Mother's Day Mom!!!

I did not call my mother today. I last saw her on Easter. I sat with her for a long time and we talked. However, she is so far gone mentally she thought I was her cousin's son. While we were talking my Grandson came running up to me. My Mom asked who the little girl was (he has long blond wavy hairy) and I told her he was not a girl. I said he was her great grandson. She laughed and said, "Don't be funny, I don't have any great grandchildren." Folks, she has five of them.

I'll be celebrating this day later today with my ex-wife. We are going to our favorite Italian restaurant. After all, she is the mother of our children. Without her I would never have been a dad.

Have a blessed Mother's Day y'all.

In addition to what I wrote above, today is also my mother-in-law's birthday. She passed a few years ago. Linda (my ex) and I were reflecting on some of our times with her. She was always there when when needed help with taking care of our kids when they got sick or taking them or picking them up from school. She was the only baby sitter we ever had. While we were married, she suffered a major stroke. We had her placed in a rehab center. She did remarkably well there. We were constantly to and fro to the place taking care of her needs. Right after Linda and I divorced, Linda moved out of state. I continued to care for her. I would pick her up on Thursday nights and take her to our church pot luck dinners. On Sundays, we went to church and then back to my house where I would cook dinner. Forgot to mention that during this time I had custody of my daughter so it was always the three of us. We went to church, out to eat, shopping, and all the affairs at my family gatherings. My son at the time had chosen to live with his mom in Indiana. (Mama's boy). But, I did have my Daddy's girl and we were a happy little family.

The most treasured piece of artifact I have is a birthday card she gave me. The front said, "Happy birthday, Son." On the inside she wrote, "To the son I never had, but now I have." ...........................Excuse me for pausing while the tears run down my face.

Happy Birthday, Grandma Sue and a Happy Mother's Day. You and my Mom have always made me proud.
