Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005[OT] bittersweet Mother's Day
Tomorrow is the Mother's Day holiday in the USA. It will be a somewhat bittersweet day for me, as Monday will be the 4th anniversary of my Mother's death. On the one hand, I have the good memories of Mom to look back at; on the other hand, I wish I still had her.  SignatureJohn F.

Just remember (and I say this as a mom) she would want to to be happy on her special day, not sad - so go and do something fun to celebrate your mom! She'll be smiling down on you as you do! Hugs, CatNipped My mother has been gone 36 years now and I share your feelings. If you think it will help, spending some time Sun. & Mon. meditating on those good memories could boost your spirits. Remember, you can go anywhere you want to in the past......in your mind; our loved ones live on as long as we remember them. >> Tomorrow is the Mother's Day holiday in the USA.

I'd say, eat at her favorite restaurant in her honor, or do some other thing you know she would have enjoyed tomorrow. And remember her with love.

Mine died in 1988, and I feel the same way. It especially annoys me when I see some ad saying, 'what are *you* getting your father for Father's Day?' Or 'Daddy's favourite books' (not that any of them are ever anything my Dad would have liked to read anyway). It was Mother's Day here in Finland, too, yesterday. I took my Mum out for dinner (Indian) and a movie (Merchant of Venice). Lucky her, she's leaving for the island today.

My mother died eight years ago, though not so close to Mother's day. I am always invited out with my husband and his mother, but I prefer to stay home and think about my mom. I don't know if they understand or not. For as common as mothers are, each one is totally precious--to her own children. In UK our Mother's Day is in March. The second one since my mother was gone. I am not sure I will ever get over her sudden death, so I can understand how you feel, John. There is no-one like your mother and I feel for you.

So sorry for that sad little post John, but as you said at least you have fond memories Jean.P. > Tomorrow is the Mother's Day holiday in the USA.

Mother's day over here is March and all I remember of the last one is that everyone seemed on the day to be carrying bunches of flowers I'd never noticed that before....
