@SW-User Ugh... I sought not to spread sadness, girl. If you have lost someone... Lets hug and believe that the opposite of life is not death... Cuz life is eternal for those we keep in our heart ❤🤗
It's been my own experience that remembrance is far more enduring or lasting than any stone monument my friend. Revel in the fact that your mum was uniquely yours and that these memories are good ones, and that in certain moments, when the winds are just right.....those which only you will know or understand, they return to you for a visit.
Never let a day go by without saying "I love you". Never let hard, angry or unkind words be what you leave someone with...it may be the last ones they hear.
If your mom was anything like mine to me... you lost a best friend and you know it. Good post, Trippin :)
It was your mother who loved you before you were born - who carried you for a long months close to her heart and in the fullest of time took God's hand in hers and passed through the valley of shadows to give you life. It was she who cared for you during the helpless years of infancy and scarcely less dependent years of childhood. As you have grown less dependent, she has done the countless, thoughtful, trouble-healing, helpful and encouraging things which somehow only mothers seem to know how to do.
You may have accepted these attentions more of less as matters of course and perhaps without conscious gratitude or any expressions of your appreciation. You are rapidly approaching the time in life when you will be entirely independent of your mother. The ties which dependency has bound you to her may be served as you grow older, but the tie of mother-love can never be broken
@Baz87 So very beautiful and appreciated my friend.... She may indeed have loved me before I was born... But didn't give birth to me. Some ties are just knotted different maybe. ❤
@Gangstress So very kind you are. ❤ Im good. Just remembering those birthdays we had fun together. If she saw me sad right now she'd dance ' round the kitchen a hunt for my smile ❤
@Trippin I've not seen my mum for a year and even though I've not lost her, the little things matter ❤ hold those memories close babe ❤ i absolutely adore that picture of you two. She looks a great character
