Unfortunely I do not have many good memories of my mother nor did my brother.

LIFE IS TO SHORT TOO FOLD FITTED SHEETS

The first thing I think of is my mom's cooking. Food was love to her. She was always cooking a meal for someone when she was able to. I can think of alot of things but mostly how much I miss her every single day. She will be gone one year on September 23rd. It seems like a life time! I wish I could have her back for five minutes just to tell her one more time how much I love her.

I miss everything about my mom. She was pure love. Always there to help. She taught me how to be a strong woman.She taught me to always push ahead & not allow others to drag me down.She taught me that I was enough.I am who I am today because of her.I wear my mom's ring on my right hand every day to always keep her close.

The first thing is how much I miss her--she died 12 years ago at 76. We talked on the phone frequently, and I saw her at least once a week. It took a year after she died for me to stop thinking "I should call Mama today". I miss her most on my birthday, and her birthday...we always talked on those days, even if we didn't "celebrate" until a more convenient time.

Was she perfect? Absolutely not, lol! She loved to give unsolicited advice (which I learned to let go in one ear and out the other). She criticized everything I ever cooked for her. She really wasn't an "encouraging" type of person--whenever, as a child, I mentioned something I dreamed of doing, she had a dozen reasons why I shouldn't. She worried about everything, and I mean everything! We used to tease her that she worried whether the sun would rise in the east and set in the west. She was a complete doormat, and never stood up for herself.

All that said, I loved her so much, and miss her terribly...along with my Mother-in-Law who was like a 2nd mother to me, and died 11 months after my own mom.

Abuse. I left her house a few weeks after my 18th birthday. Never looked back and more importantly never went back.

My mom died in 2013 and I miss her every single day. She was so kind, funny, fun loving, always in a good mood no matter what was happening, a very loving mother, generous and well loved by us and all who knew her. Not a bad bone in her body and no one ever said an unkind word about her. She was my best friend without a doubt. I miss her every single day, but especially on bad days. I was truly blessed to have her.
