My mother passed away on Mothers Day and although its been 12 years I still cant bring myself to celebrate the day and just hate it when people dont have time for there mums they just dont realize what they will miss

my parents died both 30 years ago in a carcrash by a busdriver who did not watch out. I still miss them, but I'm glad I have had them , and still have lovely memories.

I am very fortunate to still have my mom. She is 92 and has Alzheimers. some days she knows more than others.But,I am grateful for the time we have. It may only be a squeeze to the hand or a smile in her eyes, but I know she loves us.

I also lost my mum to Alzheimers,she was 73,but I do have many happy memories from my childhood, and its those I treasure.

My Mom passed away in 1990, and I still miss her so much!!! This year, I decided to send each of my Daughters & DIL A Happy Mothers Day card, thanking them for giving me wonderful Grandkids & GGK's. Hugs, Judy

Thats so beutiful, you sound very blessed Judy

My mother pass away on May 3rd, twenty five years ago. And I have never been close to my mother in law. And with me being the baby in the family, I was very close to my mother. She was there when I first started sewing and she is still with me because when I mess up or do somethng good with my crafts I can hear her in my hear saying you did good or redo it over. I don't celebrate Mother's Day but I do celebrate my Mother. So I feel for you and send you a a very Special Hugg to let you know there are others whom feel and care for you.

My mother died in 1988, I was 25,my children where 18 months and 3, so my children only had me to show them little about Mothers day as I was a single parent. I miss them being small because I at least got homemade cards and gifts. I haven't received anything for mothers day in years. To me its just become another day. They are now grown and 2 of my 3 girls have children of their own. I hope they charish these days. I send them cards every year, but get nothing in return. Occassionally one will call and wish me a Happy Mothers Day, but nothing more. If your children send you cards, or flowers cherish those momments while you can!

I do have wonderful huband and 3 beautiful children and 6 gorgous grandchildren who spoil me for mothers day, and indeed all year, But I do miss my mum very much, its been 20 years since she passed away.

Why dont we spend the time we have to ouselves this mothers day remembering the nice times with our mums.Tell me some stories ,about your mothers.

Strange realy I was never close to my mum till my sister passed away and as my Dad died when I was 18 I never recieved what you call parental love I took care of the household chores and everything from when I was 9 so from 9 to 30 was up to me so Special Days became meaningless

I'm sure there is lots of love in your family now with 26 grandchildren,I know you can not change the past, but you can make a difference in the future.

I fully understand how much you miss your mother. I lost mine 24 yrs ago this month. I still miss being able to show my appreciation to her for all her sacrifices she did for me and my siblings. She raised 6 children from 6 months -14 years old by herself. My father died when I was six months old. She was only 36 yrs old with a sixth grade education .when my father died. I also understand about people not appreciating their parents.

I miss my Mother, too. It is a shame - but it happens - some will not every know how difficult it is - until it is too late, too.
