Losing my mom - and finding her in my sisters

My Mom has been gone over ten years and I think about her daily..I think I learned decent

manners from her and how to help others..she also taught me to not be "hung up on the material things in life..My Mom Alice was a wonderful person!

:) My mommy is still alive, I'm 13, and hopefully... my mom will live a long life. <3 But anyway, Me and my mom always give cards to each other. My mom gives one to me, for being born, and I give one to her, for loving her. <3 Without each other... I couldn't have a mother, and she could not be a mother. (: Thanks.

This is the first mother's day without my mom, she passed away last June. I think of her daily, and I think of the dedicated, resilient, and focused woman that she was.

My Irish mom has been gone since 1991 and I don't spend as much time thinking of her as I used to, though in my heart her presence remains constant. She was an interesting character, maybe one of a kind really, whose influence bears down on us today in ways that are evident and, surely, in ways, that my siblings and I are not fully aware of. I love her and honor her and am utterly grateful for all that she did as a decent, giving person. But life is not simple and my mom remains an amalgam of contradiction, strength, hope and sadness.

My Portuguese Mom has been gone for the past six years. I miss her tremendously. She was my best friend. A sweet and caring Mom and her kids always came first in her life. I miss her weekenends conversations where I used to call her everyweekend and we talked on the phone for hours, due to long distance. She was a wonderful person.

My mother has been gone for almost 21 years - I still miss her. She was the strong point in our lives, through marriages, divorces, pregnancies, children. She was so loving and creative - I just wish she could have lived to see my grandchild - she would be so proud. Whenever I see the sun rays shining through the clouds, I feel she had part in the creation of something beautiful to make me smile.

My mother passed away 3 years ago, very suddenly. I, too, think of her daily and talk of her pretty much every chance I get...to keep her memory alive. I am so thankful for my 2 sisters who I'm very close to. Just the other day we laughed until we cried about some of her little quirks! I am so grateful to have been so blessed with such an amazing mother and example.

I love you mom; "I love you too son". I heard those words for the last time about 3 years ago as my wife and I left the hospital to fly from Memphis back to Charleston SC. She passed away the next day within a few hours of my brother driving back to Virginia. She had the insight to have my sister to call muster of all 5 of her kids to visit one last time. Each of us came that week to spend with her. She would occassionally get up and play cards and eat or just sit and talk with all of us. Otherwise she was in bed being cared for by her middle daughter Mary; an angel without wings yet. Now that our mom has hers she has visited both my dad and I in our dreams. My cell phone still has "Mom" on speed dial #7. I try to call my sisters and my brother every week or so to pass on any news or family updates. I call Mary usually a few times a week just to check on Pop, which she has faithfully watched over since mom died. She usually gives me the latest drama in the family along with the medical status of everyone. I then usually spread the information to the other siblings. Back to the main point. Our mom is immortal; I believe this because each of her children carry a piece of her personality, characteristics, humor, fears with us and I feel her presence in so many things that I see, hear, smell and touch.

I am happy for her to be without pain and suffering, but most for being with our Lord and Saviour.

I love you mom! "I love you too son."
