Mother's Day is rough for me

I lost my mom to cancer in November of 2002, and her birthday and Mother's Day have been the pits for me since. If it weren't for my girls I'd probably be crying all day long on that day. :brokenheart: be nice to your mama, you only get one!:cry:

    This is for your mom GTOgirl, may not be with you but she can still have a poem in her honor.


    Mom, we miss you so very much
    On every Mother’s Day;
    And not just then, but every minute,
    Since you went away.


    You were the center of our lives
    Before your soul passed on;
    It’s just so hard for us to believe
    That you are really gone.


    But we celebrate the life you lived
    And all the things you gave us;
    Our wonderful memories, Mom, of you
    Are the things that will comfort and save us.


    Please think of us, as we think of you
    With hearts so full of love;
    We’re looking up at you, sweet Mom,
    As you look at us from above.

    I can relate, I lost my mom in September of 2004, to cancer also. Mothers day is one of the hardest days of the year for me too. And her birthday would have been next Friday, so the month of May just kind of sucks. Hang in there, it will be over soon:heart:

    I know just how you feel. I lost my mom suddenly in March of 2001 on my youngest son's 13th birthday. I miss her every day but Mother's Day is very hard. Try to remember all of the fun and good things and it is okay to cry. Cry it out. I cry sometimes driving down the road when I hear a song or think of something or see something. It is hard, but it is okay to feel it. :sad:

    I lost my mom at the age of 13, it will be 40 years this September, it never gets better! Raising my kids without her was so very hard. I hope she can look down and know how wonderful they all are. I still love you mom. Seeing others honor their aging moms on mothers day makes me miss her so much!

    May is rough for me. Mother's day, I lost my father in 2007 and his birthday is May 15, and my mother passed May 23, 2008.

    So these next few days are going to be ROUGH!!!

    I am trying to stay busy so that I don't cry the entire month!

    Mother's Day is rough for me also. I lost my Mom (and best friend) March 2002. It doesn't get easier as time goes by. It still hurts like it was yesterday.
