last year's thread helped me a lot. you always think you are the only person in the world who is missing your mom, but it's everywhere, everyday. so, tell us what you remember most about your mom (or grandma, or whomever you remember).

i remember my mom's laugh and smile the most...and her big heart.this picture was in 2005; we surprised her with a ticket to one of those old school concerts. the guy on the left is one the members of "the persuaders"

Your Mom had such a beautiful smile

My Mom passed away on July 6 last year. She was the best at everything she did- cooking,sewing, fixing scraped knees and broken hearts.I miss her

Thankfully my mom is still here. But my grandmother passed away 7 years ago tomorrow.

She was absolutely everything and anything a child could want in their grandparent.

Loving, doting, supportive. She was always taking us on big roadtrips in her Winnebago to places like Newport, Rhode Island, Myrtle Beach, Destin FLA.

And MOST importantly, when we were little kids she always brought us over a bag of Fritos and a box of Twinkies.

We'd all race out to the car to great her every Sunday she came over. Such fond memories of an innocent time.

She was the best.

May 22, 2003 - RIP Mom

My worst time of the year...

My mother died when I was 6 yrs old-it was January 1979-the hardest time in my life I have been without her now for 32 yrs and I still miss her everyday. I can honestly say that those who still have living moms are truly blessed. I cannot understand how some cannot get along with or love their moms I would give anything to have my mother back So please let them know you appreciate and love them everyday. I love you mom and miss you

Fury, this is soooo very sweet of you.

My love to all of you "us", who have lost their mothers.

My mom was bawdy. That's the only way I can describe her. Hilarious and so beautiful. She was the matriarch. She was the only one who could put my aunts and uncles in their place.

I really really miss her. She passed 4th of July 1994.

to all of you...



My mom passed on Nov. 23, 2005 (my brother's birthday) at the age of 77. She was the soul of empathy, patience and compassion to all who knew her as well as a fierce grassroots activist for most of her adult life. I have followed in her activism footsteps and if I'm half as effective as she was in impacting people's lives, I'm grateful.

With family she was loving, protective, selfless and understanding...that's why on the rare occasions when she had to set one of us straight, we paid attention...she could put on quite a show when she had to.

Was she perfect? Nope. We had a few little battles here and there but when all is said and done, she was the best mom and grandmom one could hope for and I have always been exceedingly proud to be her daughter. Most times, I felt like the luckiest, happiest, most well raised kid in the world and I miss her so much!

I could literally write a book about my mom and feel blessed to have so many fun and wonderful memories of her. She was a remarkable woman...and my best friend

awwwww, thanks hun

my mom died 9/9/05 a month before my 17th birthday. it was the hardest time in my life because we were really close and I could tell her anything that was on my mind. my greatest memory is being in the kitchen cooking together and dancing to Prince. almost 5 years later I'm still having a hard time dealing with her death.

I miss my mom soooo much. She passed 12-1997. I wish I had appreciated her much much more before she got ill, but at least I did get to show her I loved her and to say good-bye.

It's a hard day for my aunt since her daughter passed. 9-2006

It's a hard day for my nephew since he lost his mom (when we made all these holidays did we think of children who might not have mommies, daddies, and all...it's so sad! Plus the schools make a big deal about making cards and such.)

For all Orgers that lost their mums.

You have all got some amazing stories here, heres mine.

My Mum passed away from Breast cancer on October 14 2007, she was only 53 and had been diagnosed with it back in 97, even after she had been careful and got regular mammograms since the early 80s. She had the whole breast removed in 97, had six months chemo, was well for a while, and then got terminal breast cancer in 2002 and we spent the next 5 years watching it eat away at her, until the last two weeks she became totally helpless.
My Mum was very intelligent, creative and supportive towards other people. She did a lot of community service, particularly for caring for the elderly in the community, visiting rest homes and talking to folks who had been dumped there to rot by their families. Even though she was white, she couldn't understand why white people in this country dump their elderly relations in rest homes, when they become too hard. As in my fathers family (Maori) old people were looked after by the family.
Yet many members of her husbands family treated her like dirt, because she was white, and they feel she didn't belong, same happens with me (I was called Carlton at high school), folks have to learn theres not an invisible measure of brownness we always have to measure up to. Yet these same people were all weeping and wailing over her coffin.
We miss you Mum

For My Mother who is in Heaven:

If Roses grow in heaven ~Lord pick a bunch for me~
Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they are from me~
Tell her that I LOVE and Miss her and when she turns to smile
place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while~
Because remembering her is easy I do everyday ~
There's a ache with in my heart that will never go away ~
Tell her I LOVE and Miss her every single day.

My mother died on August 28, 2007. She was only 61. She was a bad lady and one of the big and beautiful girls. Her size eventually caught up with her which led to fluid in her legs and heart problems but at least she had a fun and wonderful life rather than a miserable one constantly worrying about her size. I wouldn't trade none of them skinny bitches for her.
