Looking forward to seeing my brother tomorrow in as we gather together at my house and celebrate our Mother who awaits us in Heaven, along with many other family members and precious friends already there with her. She went home with angels the night before Mother’s Day many years back, and now she has two of her children with her, and two grandchildren with her. Since then we've set aside one day during the week of Mothers’ Day to gather as a unit to celebrate, our families and children her awesome love; and there's just something about it that brings such a deep warmth as we love on each other, chit chat about ol' times, enjoy each other, and laugh a lot at how we were back when vs. how we are now. Lots of precious memories to share between us and of course we'll have great food and an awesome time! But today my mind has been absorbed in wonderful memories centered around my precious Mother; my dearest friend; my greatest fan; my yard sale partner; my counselor; ,my support and prayer partner while raising my girls; and someone I would love to hear her voice just once more and be able to give her one more hug and a kiss; but knowing where she is and the legacy she has left in all our hearts; although it brings tears, also brings a warm smile knowing she is cheering me own and that I will see her soon when this life is completed. So if your mom is still alive, please don't wait until Sunday to celebrate your Mom, because Death waits for no one! Call her up and don't wait; or better yet, go visit her and give her a great big hug because so many of us will not be able to do that this year! And to all of you whose Mom is in Heaven this year; just remember she is with the One who made her and she is cheering you on from Heaven's portals and you can see her again if you choose wisely. Blessings to you all.

Mothers are just so special, aren't they? What a lovely way to honour your mother and strengthen the bonds between you all.

Yes, Judy, I just pray I am close to what my Mom was to me and my brother and sisters... She was such a special Mom and so full of love, and humble. My Mom was just the best ever. So was my Grandmother. Love to you Judy. Love you and Happy Mother'sDay to you , too.

@tuttiharris what a wonderful thing to do. I always remember my mom on Mother's Day and on her birthday. Perhaps this year i'll make a small birthday party for her so she can smile from above and see that I still really care. Hope you have a wonderful time.

I have lost my father so I work a lot harder now days on making sure my mother is very appreciated. Unfortunately it took the loss for me to show her how much she is loved.

@tuttiharris I am still trying to get the hang of this site really, It is not as user friendly for me as the old one. My Dad passed on at 54, that is a really young age. I figure it was so early so I could learn to appreciate my remaining parent more. I sure do miss him though.

Kimberley, sometimes we think we will have them forever. And we don't always have them as long as we really want to. God knows when, I never thought I would lose my Mom as young as she was. Love you Kimberley... haven't heard from you in a long, long time. Love you.
