Do you miss your Mom?

Very much dude .... as you said especially this time of year. 🙁

Dad passed a few months ago first Christmas without either parent this year.
 
Both my parents are still alive, but I dread the day their time comes. I also have two grandparents (on same side) that are doing well. I also dread when their time comes. Death is inevitable but it still hurts. I lost lot of family in the past few years and still think about them. Getting old sucks for that. As a kid you don't even think of that but when you're older you realize that the people who you knew all your life arn't always going to be around.

I make sure to visit my parents often enough, need to visit grandparents more too.
 
Mom always asks me why I don't settle down and I ask her why? So I can have a place to go with all these bitche's I don't get ?
 
I do miss my mom and dad. My mom was totally crazy all through middle and high school but, she got help and got better. Later in life she turned into a great person. She taught me a lot about compassion and acceptance.
 
Yep...we miss her all the time. MY mom's been gone almost 21 years, my FiL (we both miss him terribly...great guy) has been gone over 31 years, and my MiL almost 27 years. (Ding dong, the witch is dead!)

It sucks beig the "old farts and responsible people" in the family that everyone looks to for help and advice...even though my BiL is a bit older...he's not at all responsible.
 
I consider myself fortunate for still having mine. As posted in another thread, she stayed over night at my apartment a week ago snuggling up to Mario. 🙂

Lost my mother to cancer in June. 50 years I knew her. First Christmas without either parent. Lots of memories come about during this time of year.
 
My mom died 2011.

I miss her at times, not just during the holidays. Life is so short. When we're young we think it's going to go on forever.

Then, as you get older you see little by little life starts taking out the ones you love. Until, you're the only one standing. Then, you say "oh, what am I staying around here?" But you kid. You give me this here motizvation. Mickey loves you kid!
 
I've had a lot of sorrow about my mom's death in '98. There's that old saying, "They'd want you to be happy." That doesn't fix the pain though. Sometimes remembering her gifts and putting them down in words helps, as the thread watchers know. This is something I said to a friend with holiday blues tonight. I've shared some of this here, and this is told with more of a nod to mom:

My Mom died on Mother's Day. A stroke had left her free of the cares and worries of her last two decades of decline. Gone were her worry lines and she looked 20-30 years younger, her natural beauty once more shining through as she glowed with happiness that the two people she loved most in all the world were with her in her hospital room, my Dad and me.

On the last day I was with her, my very proper, almost Victorian Mom gave me my what I took as my benediction. As I was leaving her room, she beamed with love at her black bearded son, all grown up now, and exclaimed, "Go, you Moon Man!"

Our psyches are a complicated morass . . . so complicated it is possible to hold the unbounded joy of a Mother's affirmation and the deep sadness of her physical parting side by side in our memories, down until the day our own hearts stop pumping the life giving blood that keeps our own neurons firing, and we ourselves begin our own uncharted journey into the mystic.

It is said that we come into the world alone and we go out the same way, but this is not quite true. We quite literally come from and are nurtured by our Mothers, born from the seed of and protected by our Fathers, and we go out borne on the memories of this long train of love.

We are not our bodies. We are every small thing we have ever done to make this world a marginally better place, and we live on in those memories.

Memories.

No one you ever loved is truly gone so long as you keep their memory alive in your heart.
 
Yes, Mayne ... I do miss my mother. She died almost 19 years ago. I have so many good memories of her that are fading as I too age.
 
My mom passed in June1982 (lung cancer from smoking) at age 60 ... My dad passed in March 2004 at age 91
