how weird. when I was 4 mom saw a ob-gyn replaceing the regular doc and he told her she would be unable to get any children, ever. She pointed at me and said, and who do you think that is?
Your beautiful story made me recall the final moments I shared with my own wonderful mother in her final months (22 years ago now). We were certainly BLESSED with the BEST. Thank you for sharing such a sweet and profound story. (((Hugs)))
God Mickey I can barely see the keys …I have so many tears falling. What a sad, but beautiful story. You looked like a plucky kid (no surprise) those big dimples and that huge smile. What an enormous void your Mum left you. I am so sorry for your loss Thanks for sharing I hope it helped ease the pain …❤️❤️❤️
We celebrate your mom with you each and every day we interact with you.....she seems like the kind of woman we need more of these days......she gave us a gift and that is YOU...... we are blessed just like she was to have you and you her.....what a beautiful story...thank you for sharing a very important part of your life with us..... we now remember her, too..... ❤😘
It warms my heart to think of so many others now remembering her and being inspired by here. Also, your generous words motivate me to always live up to them!
What a lovely, touching tribute, in details, to your mom. I know guys don’t always rhapsodize about family emotions and loss. It is special to read how much you loved her and what she went through, with you and for you. My own mom passed away Nov 8 2002–where has the time gone? She began struggling with memories in the mid 90s and as she was a reader, former young teacher out of HS on the prairies, it was a loss of dignity not to to find the right words. I moved to Phx area to help with her care and also support Dad. I would take her Wendy’s frosties which she would slurp up, we would walk around and around her facility yard, even as she wore heavy sweatshirts in the warm! She fell and broke her arm, never complained, had a cast, purple, a favorite color. One day I said, Gotta go Mom, love you! She said Love you too, love you lots! Had her own gibberish but sometimes came out with a sentence. And could most always sing hymns along with Dad, so amazing.
Thanks, Sharon, for such a compassionate response and for sharing about your lovely parents. Indeed grief unites us all yet we simply do not discuss it often enough nor use it as a chance to connect. ❤
Very sweet, thanks so much. I love to cry, great sobs and weeps, carried tissue in the car for when I would break out, and many of us go to the movies to get out the feelings, hidden to make other folks comfortable. So sad.
Always, keep busy, stay loud, keep distracted and even, .”Are we having fun yet?”
It was more than two years every 8th of the month Dad and I would go to the smorgasbord nearby. He would spread out some pictures of Mom as we would remember her and sometimes the servers would remark on the collection ;-). So with our salads and chicken, and chocolate puddings and ice tea we talked about her, enjoyed the pictures together. Too bad for those who would tell me, “smile, Sharon” !! over the years. Well, don’t look at me then! Too bad for you, I am being real, and you’re afraid of that. My antennae are mostly out to others, sometimes can be a curse, and exhausting, but people need affirmation and acknowledgement. “I am honored that you told me this, thank you”
I love this, Sharon, and I feel you. People have told me to "get over it" after my Mom's death. But, as more and more time passes since you last saw a loved one, why wouldn't you miss them more and more? I try my best to feel what I need to feel. 💕
Thank you, Susan, for reading this and letting us know how incredible your mama was, too! 💖 I feel solace in knowing how many others share these feelings and memories.
Thank YOU for reading and for sharing, too! 💕
How blessed were you to have your mom. And blessed was she to have you.
Thank you, Ann, for such kind and generous sentiments. ❤
This is the 2nd time I read your story, in its entirety again, and again, I'm misty.
Thank you, Ann... ❤️ 😭

What a beautiful remembrance. As long as there's love, there'll be miracles too. I'm glad you were both so blessed.
Much appreciated, my kind friend. ❤

I am bawling at how sweet this story and the bond between your mom and you. She is living on through you. ❤️
😭
Coming from you, Kim, this is such a profound and meaningful sentiment. Thank you! ❤
What a beautiful story about a truly beautiful woman. You are fortunate to have known her and to be her son. I believe you will see her again.
Thank you, CS, for such a comforting message. 🙏
It seems we both have had incredible mamas. With tears in my eyes thank you Mickey for sharing the precious gift of your mother. We are blessed.
