The last Mother's Day

[alice202]

Mothers Day last year was the last Mothers Day, and I knew it would be. My mom was in the hospital, and it was the last day she was coherent. She was 90. She knew she was going to die soon and so did I. She told me she loved me and to do the things that make me happy. I asked the nurse to take our picture. I'm thankful for the last 10 years when I was really close to her as a person, a friend. And I'm thankful we got to say goodbye, I know that everyone does not get that chance. Today I am thanking her for for being my mom, and telling her that I miss her.

It is a pain that will never go away.

@alice202 - what a beautiful tribute and post! I am sorry for you loss. I am glad you had the 10 happy years where you were close and friends. Today, Mother’s Day, as I think of my own mother (gone for many years now), I will also think of you and your mother. Thank you for sharing your lovely memories.

I am so glad that we take time to remember the mother's that have passed. Mine has been gone for 33 years. They deserve to be celebrated even when they are gone. Happy Mother's Day mom!

I also thought of my mother today gone for 16 years and still miss her. we took care of her the last 12 years of her life, it was very hard on our family but worth every minuete. how can we repay the gift of life, the pain they endure , and the unconditional love. I think all mothers are special alive and passed. i'm sorry for those who lost your mothers . mike
