@Hatley I too miss my mom. I do believe that our moms never leave our side and become our Guardian Angels. i have seen my mom a couple of times when she has come to me when things have been quite rough.

This is beautiful. It touched a few heart strings. It was almost as if you knew my mom. I know your mom knew and knows how you feel. I often wondered why my parents got married. What did she see in him? I may never know, but they made me who I am so I thank them for that.

@Hatley My mom had once told me she chose my dad over someone else. They were all friends so I even knew who it was. When she told me that, I just couldn't believe it! The other man was so funny and loving towards his wife. I didn't understand. I still don't. I guess some things are best left to chance.

We often tend to take them for granted. But it's when we lose them is when we truly appreciate them. I hope everyone realize that. A lovely and heart felt message you wrote for your mother. I am sure she got the message and she is smiling at you from wherever she is now.

A great tribute and I cannot help remembering my mother as well. As she is aging, I could not help feeling her physical presence especially after I have married my husband and had to move out of my humble abode. I will make a surprise visit with the family this weekend thank you for your motivating reminder here.

Indeed a good tribute to your mother. I also remember my mother who always supported me in times, good or bad and taught me good values in life, values which I do not see many parents teaching to their kids these days.

My neighbor may be modern in many ways, but when it comes to her kids, she is ancient. So they are picking up good things. :) Problem is, they have to survive among others who may not have similar scruples.
