On Mothers

dinosaur baby

I know this 89 year old woman whose son recently had some kidney stones removed.  She was so worried about how he was doing and the fact that it is a very painful condition.  It is not life threatening but it made me realize that a mother will always worry about her children no matter what.

It would have been my mother's 81st birthday today, I do miss her. I realized I took her for granted as she was always there for me and my siblings.  She wasn't perfect mind you, but none of us are, we just try to do our best.

Oh yes they do. I would be headed to the barn to feed and if my mom did not hear back from me in a certain amount of time she called, it I was heading out and it was going to storm she would tell me to get in early before storms hit....there was so much I remember these days that I took for granted.

Ah, it's true, isn't it? I miss my mom, too.
My youngest is estranged from me. It hurts. I have to concentrate on my other two kids.

Christine said...

sorry about your youngest Jenn, hopefully time can help.

I like your drawing. I was not close to my mother, because she never had anything nice to say about me. I like my dad better, because he gave me credit for turning my life around.

I was a lot closer to my mom, then my dad. If I had to give a grade for my childhood, it would be a C

that is such a cute sketch! I miss my mom - she passed when I was 35 and I just feel like she missed so much of my life as I missed so much of her life - she was just 60.

Yes, our children are our babies even when they get to be "old"folks". You're so right, none of us are perfect and we must try hard to do our best.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

Your sketch is wonderful! For me my grandmother wase much closer to my heart than my mom. Mom died 6 year ago , but I don't miss her much but still miss my Granny who died in 1982. She was my mom in love.

Happy new week!

Love your dinosaur baby.

I think as mothers we worry about our children, and then we worry about our grand-children!

But we share every precious moment of life with them, and those memories are so special and precious. I lost my Dear Mum and Dad some years ago now, but there are so many times I think of them and they remain with me, in my heart, always.

Blessings to you

All the best Jan

Your dinosaur is adorable, Christine. I’m so sorry for your pain. I can just imagine how much you will always miss your mom. My mom will be 90 this year and I know I won’t have her forever. It’s scary for me.
