Some of you might remember my posts about my mother. She was sick, I took care of her, and she died. That was two years ago today. So, I don't cry everyday anymore, but after two years I still miss her so much. There is nothing like a mother's love, it's unconditional, there's nothing you could do to lose it. When I hear how some people don't see their mother much or think they are a burden it makes me sad. I tell people you need to cherish your mother, one day she'll be gone and you will wish you had given her more  of your time.

@Jordan2  So sorry! But I know how you feel because today 3 years since my mom died. So I know it's not easy.

@Jordan2   I also feel your pain, my mom has been gone for 20+years.  I was in my early 20's when she died.  I think about her and my dad all the time, and miss them dearly.

My mother died last week after a long battle with dementia so I can relate. Hopefully your memories of her will sustain you.

@Jordan2 Sending you hugs~as I feel for you. I lost my mom in April of 2020. I was her only child, and we were very close. I also took care of her in her later years...she lived to be 91, almost to 92..until this awful virus. What a way for this daughter to lose her mom...I used to call myself the "helicopter daughter" ...overseeing her care, and being her champion...to then not be able to be with her at the end, and really know what was going on in that hospital, devastates me still. I have a million beautiful memories of her though, and always will. I don't express all that to take away from your post or shift the focus to me, just to say I really, really related to your words, so beautifully expressed. In fact, my mom always said exactly what you did "there is nothing like a mother's love." I always knew what that meant intellectually, and I knew that I could never imagine the day when she'd no longer be here. But not until I lost her did I really feel, that suddenly "that love" was definitely no longer in my life...and that love was irreplaceable by anyone else. Nothing feels like the unconditional love of your mom...if you are blessed to have a good relationship.

God bless you and your memories tonight and always. Thank you for posting. I'm sure not only I can relate. xo

thanks, Amy. It's very raw right now and that's the first time I've actually said it "out loud". 
anyway, don't mean to intrude on someone else's grief.
