Mother Appreciation Thread

[BeauJangles]

My mom is the greatest person ever. Since I was a little kid she used to hang around with me (she didn't have to work because my dad made enough money to support us). So she used to do artwork and play with me all day. I know that might sound lame, but as a kid it was awsome! She would take me to stores to look at cool toys and every once in a while she would buy me something really nice. As I grew up we continued to be close ... but last year i felt she was really overbearing. I was growing up and I didn't want her over my shoulder like she had been before in my life. It took a lot of work, but she got the idea. Now I'm sad because I only have a year and a quarter left until I go off to college. Granted, college will be sweet, but still.... I'm going to miss her Plus I'm worried about her. She has a chronic illness (in fact, i have the same thing) and has been hospitalized numerous times, but recently she seems as though she is running out of gas. She's tired all the time, and doesn't sleep well cuz my dad snores and gets up in the middle of the night. My parents have been fighting again too. I mean they used to fight a lot, and probably should've been divorced a long time ago, but now fighting with my dad takes away 80% of my mom's energy.

I just hope you guys also have mothers (or fathers) that are awsome too! Do you guys have any ideas for something special I could do for her? (for no particular reason, just because I feel like being a nice guy )

my mother is a psychotic controlling b|tch....

My father is really cool though. He's goofy.

As for your dilemma, buy her some flowers and a gift certificate for some sotre she likes and a new car and a new house and a condo in Barbados and.... (am I going too far?)

Just tell her you love her and appreciate all she has done for you even though you had no idea why at the time.....If she dies in the next second she will have a smile in her heart.

We put too much value in things that have no real meaning. Money never did buy a Mother's Love and it cannot be used to repay....

BlinderBomber...Great post!

BB, you have a great Mom. I'm glad you appreciate her. I looked in your profile and saw you live in Brookline. Damn! I used to have elderly spinster/widow Aunts on my Mom's side who lived there. I remember having to kiss them hello, lol, as a reluctant 9 year old!

Take your Mom to an art museum you and she haven't been to before. Make it a day trip and take her to lunch, too. Take the time to tell her all she means, and has meant to you, not in any dramatic set piece, just duing the course of your day together. If you haven't already, talk with her about your (normal, nautrual, even necessary) period of turning away from her. It's no secret, lol, she was there for it, too, and still loves you anyway.

Enjoy your Mom. Enjoy yourself. Hell, bring that 'ol love to your Dad, too, as best you can.
