Well, my wife is gonna get Amazon Cards, Flowers, but really she would like to see them, busy world I guess, I held my Mom in my arms after we pulled the plug on her, I think of her every Mother’s Day. If you can visit your Mother, it’s better than sending a card.  |

What, again? 
Where would we all be.....
Years ago, I would take my wife, mother and aunt out for Brunch. Each was given a nice orchid corsage in honor of their status which they proudly wore. A little corny, to be sure, but a fun tradition.

Mothers day is in March in the UK. Last year I bought my wife a square foot of land in a Scottish estate. She can now use the title, 'lady'. Lady Margaret should get herself one and make it official. |

On a Mother’s Day 10 years ago I purchased a “ Star “ in a specific constellation and had it named Valerie Jean. She was sent flowers and a beautifully finished map of the constellation where her Star is located, actually pin pointed. Look where that got me!!! From day one, our marriage was all about Valerie. Wasn’t like that when we were dating, amazing how a “piece of paper “ can change one’s personality within 6 months. |

I lost my mom when I was 17, the last time I saw her was earlier that year at my HS graduation....What I would give to see her again, she would have been a tremendous grandmother.
I am watching the grandkids while my wife and two daughters go get a pedicure, then out to a restaurant with everyone.
Woman to husband: Men, where would you be without us?
Husband: In the garden of Eden!

Just got back from a vist with Mom. She will be 82 next month. Dad will be 84. She is in great health. Dad has quite a few health issues but they are both still mentally sharp and live about three miles from me in a beautiful custom home they built in 1991. All four of their sons are within 30 minutes driving distance. Taking Dad to lunch this week and maybe go to the Woodcraft store. Thankful for great parents.

Reading this thread give me a feeling of sadness..My mother was a very abusive person.She never gave me a feeling of love.As much as I tried over the years I just could never have a good relationship with her..If you do have that loving relationship with your mother,or the memories of one cherish it.Those of us who don't know that we've missed out on something priceless.

That really goes against the grain that most mothers have with the maternal spirit that is the core of motherhood. That gift is so special that often the cry of a dying service member is to cry out for their mother... I am glad I never experienced that, thank God. Sorry to hear about that, but it is good to see that is not the case with your bride, and she has the quality in spades from what I gather. Sounds like in spite of it all you came out ahead in the deal. |

Years ago my boys begged me to go see Saving Private Ryan, wasn’t to keen on that, but I took them, when the squad rushed the machine gun emplacement and one squad member got gut shot and started yelling MOMMA, MOMMA, I lost it I literally ran out of the theater, my breath wasn’t coming, the boys came out and stood around me, I calmed down and told them to go back and see the rest, I did not go. It was years later that I saw the finish. You never forget.

It was years later that I saw the finish. You never forget. That scene is heart wrenching, Brad. I can't watch it after seeing it the first time. I only saw that scene the first time I watched the film. I also can't watch the scene where Ryan is an old man at the graveside of Tom Hanks character and weeping and asks his wife to tell him he is a good man. That tears at my heart. |

Larry, my heart goes out to you. I was lucky enough to have a loving, caring Mom who I was extremely close to until she passed in 2014. . However, my Dad sounds just like your Mom, so I understand how deeply this can hurt and effect you. My Dad passed on December 2nd 1982 @ 57 years old. Less than 3 hours after staying with my Mom a while to make sure she was okay, I was back off to work. Made my plane on time, three days later I was back on Long Island for the funeral. Took me ten plus years to visit his gravesite. Only reason I did, my next trip I knew was a 50/50 chance of me returning alive. You seem to be a positive person, glad you have a great wife and family now. That’s all the really matters. |
