I know some of you say it is inconvenient and all that to deal with the whole Mother's day present, giving your Mom a call and having to listen to her rambling blah, blah, blah..and for some of you even the thought of having to visit her, makes you itch. In that case, this thread is not for you. This thread is to appreciate your Mom!! My dear Mom passed away 11 years ago, and not a day goes by that I do not wish I could have one more hug, one more kiss, one more time to have her be bossy and nosey. I know I was not always the perfect daughter, and way to many times I took her for granted, I thought she would always be around. I am now 42, and I wish that my Mom was alive so that she could see how much I look like her, sometimes I look in the mirror, and I see my Mom looking back at me. My Mom had a way of embarrassing me, she would always call me "baby" I was the youngest of 4, and she would love to tell the world, that I was her baby. I miss being her baby..

I love my mother. She and I have had our problems, but I truly appreciate and admire her. I not only see her as my mother, but as my friend.

Thank you I certainly try my hardest to make her proud.




Dammit, I need to get out of this thread before I start crying. There's just something about moms that makes me get all sappy

My relationship with my mom is very complicated. There are times that she drains my soul, seriously.

And whenever I let the child inside me steer this insane ship of my life, I digress sometimes in to dark moods of resentment and unresolved anger at her for having raised me in such an unloving household with an overbearing and cold father.

She's not graceful, not smart, and all too often, completely unaware of her own faults. She's prone to jealous moments and vanity, and often needs constant 'stearing' during our phonecalls towards positivity and the nicer moments in life--I supposed loneliness can do that to a person. And even when she's in a great mood, she can be so embarassing and downright insane/silly that (and I am not joking here), she could easily become the next 'star wars kid' or 'numa numa' video on youtube--and I'm not exxagerating.

Her past life is a mysetery to me, and I piece fragments of it together between my two equally insane aunts who are the only witnesses to my mom's life predating her meeting my father, and having me and my sister. I don't know what the conditions are that had her meet my father, nor what made him choose her over other eligeable women, but I've come to terms with the fact that without the choices she made, I wouldn't be in the position to have the choices I make now. I owe her more than I realize most times.

Nobody wrote a fail-safe rulebook on motherhood, and certainly she wouldn't have excelled at it. But she did what she could, and survived under impossible odds at various times in her life. I owe her some respect and reverence based on that alone

my Mom drains me OMG makes me nuts but i love her she put me here rasied me right made me the respectful man that i am.

scary, I think if you ask my son to sum me up, he would also say "I drain him" he loves and respects me, but I know he also has times when he would like to throw a brick at my head.

Ithink all parents drain their kids they dont intentionally do it, its just who they are.sometimes my mom would get meto the point where id wanna dive out a window.. LOL

I have a lot of respect for my mom. She has been a great mother and father to me and I'm very blessed to have her in my life.

I'm taking her out for brunch and then to see Made of Honor in the theater on Mother's Day. I think I might make her a scrapbooking gift basket too.

I love my mom with all my heart.
She's everything to me and more.
ALWAYS there when I need her.

This mothers day is gonna be kind of difficult because I will be visiting her in the hospital. I *HATE* hospitals. They scare me

I thank God for her everyday.
Even though there are times she gets on my nerves. And I mean she be on my nerves like a damn tick sucking all the blood and energy out of me

But all in all.....
I love her. I need her. And I cant live without her.

As stubborn as my mom is, I can't help but love her to death. I don't know where I'd be without her, she's been there for me from day one and I will be eternally gratefull to her for that. And man! can that woman cook!!!

I agree Steadwood! Don't wait for a special occasion.

My mom gets on my nerves on a regular basis, and she can be way too overbearing, but I LOVE HER sooooo much!

so thankful for every clingy thing she does

I love my mother. She's generous, hard-working, loving, funny, incredibly smart, wise, infuriatingly stubborn, encouraging and fun to be around.

She returned to work, just to put me through college. She will always rock, in my book. My dad's pretty awesome, too.

My mom is so amazing


She's been there for me no matter what and when I came out to her she was totally cool She was actually glad I'd decided to be myself She's been through so much and I admire her for I know it requires a LOT of strength to survive what she's lived


I never do, nor will I ever take her presence and guidance for granted.


Mawm

This be her:

I love my mom. She brought me up so that I was allowed to form my own opinions and beliefs and she never was anything but supportive when I did. My mother has worked SO HARD with me and my three siblings for so long. She can get on my nerves (probably because we're a lot alike), but the fact remains that she's fantastic, hilarious, determined, and intelligent, and I love her to death.

your mom is so intense

In honor of Motherz'Day,I'd like 2 share a poem I wrote 4 mom when I was in 2nd grade:
My mommy is awesome
My mommy is great
The only thing is she comes home too late
She is always tired and never has time to play
But I still love her all through the day.
Happy Motherz'Day,Mommy!


Happy Motherz' Day 2 all the orgmomz!
