Happy Mother's Day
I believe this is a very happy day and it should be. But it's sad too for me and I suspect others too. I miss my mother.
The emotions (except writing this is tough) don't overcome me as much now as they did during the months after she passed on. Of course those emotions are still there and can surprise me at times.
Having these emotions is actually a happy thing if I consider the alternative of not bonding with my mother. The sad emotions of missing her shows that she gave me memories that stayed and will stay forever. She is not going to age or be far away anymore. She is fixed forever in my heart as she was.
I am happy to have these memories.
Here's a picture of her (late 1950's) that I shared on G+ for a Blast-from-the-past post. People share old pictures and I have done it a few times. You can check my G+ page to find more. You know you are older when some of the "old" pictures are from the 1990's. My kids were all in school in 1990's.

that's good - thanks for the laugh and maybe a dream of Mothra later tonight.
thanks - I agree with you.
The memory can be triggered by the most surprising things.
thanks.
thanks - glad to know you liked the commercial.
Very touching ad...happy mothers day to your mothers
Very nice tribute to moms today...
I love the image of your Mum and isn't it interesting how fashions come back round, you could wear that dress today and no one would bat an eye.

Sometimes I do NOT like Mother's Day - - - the preacher tells all these virtues of a perfect mom, and I "ain't" one and never will be and I just feel all guilty.
Today, so far, hasn't been like that and it has been a GREAT Mother's Day, my youngest "chick" has phoned home (three more to go maybe) and I am THANKFUL.
thanks - I don't much of a clue on fashion but that is interesting - maybe I should have kept my bell bottoms.
Have a great Mother's Day. I'm not sure but parenting guilt might be a bigger problem for moms than dads. Many years ago I was feeling really low one day and my daughter cheered me up with a comment about being a great dad. thanks for sharing
It's a mixed day for me. I love celebrating with my kids, but can't conjure up may positive feelings about my own mother.
Love the picture! Any mom willing to pick up a baseball bat for anything other than chasing critters out of the kitchen has to be an awesome mom.
thanks - she was awesome in many ways.
I think life is a mixed bag. I hope the good stuff in that bag more than made up for any of the stuff you didn't care for today. thanks
I have several friends who are "celebrating" their first Mother's Day without their moms this year and it was bittersweet for them. As much as I complain about my own mother, I know how blessed I am to have her.
Wow! I love that video and the picture of you mom. My mother is still alive ((Thank God)) but my father has passed on. I feel the same way about missing him even though it feels he is always with me. There are times I miss him more then words can say. And like you this gives me peace to know he did his job with me always there when he needed to be. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in your life.
An important thing to remember. thanks
thanks - good memories are the best

thank you - hope you had a good mother's day.
Aww, this is a beautiful and touching post. Who knew you had it in you? I'm kidding...
oh I know. Yes even the class clown can get serious once in awhile.
thanks
Thanks for sharing the video, I love that one.
Your mom must have been pretty special, getting out there in a dress to play baseball.
First off, I need to say I appreciate that you go back through older posts and share a comment. Well of course she was very special to me. I did learn through the years that she was special to many others too. I'm not even sure when this picture was taken. I think in 50's.
thanks
