Mom's The Word

Motherless Mother's Day

I miss you. I love you. I wish you were here.

100_0644.JPGI lost my mom nearly three years ago. Mother's Day is damn hard. Those of us who have lost our mothers are invisible. It is too sad and tragic for others, especially now. This post is for all of us who long for our mothers every day and feel that ache every time we turn on the TV or visit a site at this time of year.

Here's is to all of you, like me, who have lost your mom. I acknowledge your sadness and longing on Mother's Day. I miss her too. I may be a mom but I was her little girl first.

Thank you Jen. This is a rough week. I just want it to be over. Sometimes it's just too much to bear.

That is how I feel too, Amreen. Hugs to you. xo

Cue the tears. Oh even after 8 years this time of year is so hard. I long so much to be someone's little girl again

I miss that part so much, Annabelle. I don't think you really know truly how important it was until it is gone. I would love just one more chance to hug her. xo to you tomorrow.

Thanks Jen. I'm planning to spend my first year without my mom remembering her...taking some spiritual time to stop, reflect and remember. Liz Pashby was the best mom ever. I miss you, mom.

Oh, Kathy. I'll be thinking of you. xo

Yes, thank you Jen. It's hard to grieve and remember, especially on Mother's Day. The other day my kids asked me what I wanted, and inside all I could think was, "I want *my* Mommy back". This day is particularly hard for me. Wish we were together to give each other hugs!

I wish we were together too, Kath. Sisters make everything better. Especially this because we all just *get it*. Try and enjoy your day tomorrow.

I'm thinking of you Jen. I know how much you miss your Mom and this time of year must be so terribly difficult.

Thanks, Julie. I was so fortunate to have such an amazing mother and role model. That's what I need to try and focus on.

I feel it so much too. So silly but I keep thinking I wish she was here to ask her how she did it when she lost her Mom.

I know, Jamie. It is amazing because she would not have said anything we don't already know but she just had this special way about her that was so comforting. I miss that.

I send you kisses, friend. xoxoxoxox

I'm thinking of you and your family today, Jen. xo

YOu're SO right Kath about being her little girl first. I never thought of it that way but that nails it. xx

ooops...I meant Jen...:). Well both of you....xx

hugs to you who have lost your moms. my mom is always available for hugs if you ever meet her.
