Today was a very special day !

Had she lived my mom would have been 93 today but Covid took her away on 4/28/20. My best friend and mom of 10, she was a registered nurse who was my inspiration for becoming a nurse also. I visited her grave today with one of my sisters and placed flowers. Happy heavenly birthday mom !

I so understand your sentiment. My mom died last October 9. Tomorrow ( Nov. 17) would be her 98th birthday. I never thought I could miss her so much.

What a lovely tribute to your mother @Goodie2shoes .

 

She sounds like a wonderful role model and someone who was dearly loved and still missed. Love "happy heavenly birthday",  such a sweet sentiment.

@Goodie2shoes , our moms have a similar background.  I am one of ten children and my mother was a nurse.  She passed at the age of 65 when I was 28.  I miss her still everyday

That was a lovely way to honor her.  It never gets any easier - I certainly know that.  Those of us that had beautiful mothers - we were truly blessed!

Similar background well how about that ! Woman LOL  Sorry for the lost of your mom at such a early age for both her and you. I'm the oldest of my moms 10 children where are you in your sibling line of 10?

I understand. Your mom sounds wonderful.

 

Mom died 7 years ago this Thanksgiving. Dad died last Christmas, just shy of 92.
