Your memories are precious! A poignant memory for me was the Mother's Day my little brother and I decided to "cook" runny eggs and very dry toast for Mom. We did a plate with a vase and a flower we picked from the yard.Mom acted like it was the "best" breakfast ever!God Bless you!
Oh I can just see that in my head! Too cute, Suzy!
I lost my Mom October 2003 and I often think of her. She had an operation in 1980 that paralyzed half of her face and along with the tumor the doctor took her ability to smile. One of my favorite memories of my Mom is remembering her vivacious smile before 1980. It is how I picture her in Heaven!
I also have vivid memories of her & I watching the final episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show, bawling together on the couch. I remember our trip to Scotland together in 1983. I remember so many things. I was her baby of 6 kids and I think out of all my siblings I have the most memories because we had a very special relationship.
Not being a Mom myself, Mother's Day has never been the same since Mom died!
I do wish you & your readers though a very special Mother's Day this weekend!
Oh I'm so sorry, Sue! But wonderful you have those memories!
My mommy... I love her to PIECES!!!
I remember:
1. laughing hysterically during nap time, until we cried.
2. Anne of Green Gables day and ditching homeschool
3. Thrift store shopping and fighting over the clothes (in good fun)
6. Her hand brushing my hair when I was sick
7. Her outstanding bologna and cheese sandwiches
My mom passed away in 1982, but I had to laugh at Colleen's memory of stepping in a cow patty. When I was about nine or ten my uncle took us all horseback riding. He snapped some successive pics of me sitting on fence and my mom standing next to me all dressed up in a sundress. Next pic I had moved my foot over and had unknowingly rested it on Mom's hand. Next pic she is making a disgusted face, probably saying ewwwww as she wiped the horsey doo doo off her hand with a tissue. It was hilarious.
I remember my mommy fighting for my brother or me in some capacity. Once, when the girl scouts were going hiking at Angel Island, I was like NO thanks. As were all my friends. Well, no one signed up so they decided to take the few (ie., the mommy with the stupid ideas' kids) to Great America instead (Six Flags). So my mom called up the mom and explained that it wasn't fair to exclude us because your first idea sucked.
Of course she was much more tactful.
My mom passed away in December 2003 of cancer, but I have tons of memories.
One of my favorite (and probably the silliest) is I can remember when I was little I would lay my head in her lap and she would clean out my ears with a Q-tip. What I remember the most is the smell of her hands, which I could never place the smell until I was on my own - it's the smell of onions! I didn't realize she cooked with them so much.
I remember her always being up early on Saturday mornings cleaning the house while the rest of us slept. I don't know how she did it with four of us.
Christmas...her favorite holiday. We'd hear Christmas songs all year long.
Mother's Day isn't quite the same - I'm not a mom, so I never feel like I have a place on that day. It gets a little easier every year though.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you :)
Ah, I'm teary eyed just reading your memories!
aww what sweet memories. Probably my best memory of my mom is her smell. As a kid I'd take her clothes and just lay in them to have her scent close by. I'd wear her shoes(high heeled thos with the HIGH high heels to play baseball as well, and I could run in them things, Now I can't wear them to save myself but as a kid.....)
My mom is my best friend now.
What a great post.hugs,
