We Honor Mother's Day

[labblab]

I wanted to "bump up" this thread that was first posted a couple of years ago. I know there have been some very sad recent losses among our family -- losses that may make this Mother's Day especially bittersweet for some of our moms. And even for losses from many years past, there is still a special ache that resurfaces annually on this special day. A mother never forgets her children. Never.

So in the midst of celebrating our roles as moms, I want y'all to know there is a thread here where we can honor and remember, and yes shed a tear for, our kids who now revisit us in spirit alone. But what precious spirits they forever remain. Forever our children, forever in our hearts.

Happy Mother's Day everyone.
I don't get on here much anymore, but I do think about y'all often and your precious babies.

Much love,
Donna, Tank & Tanzee and my precious angels, Tippi & Tia

Yes, such a hard, sad day for so many reasons. We remain united through it all.

So..... Happy Mother's Day Moms. Today is your day to skip down memory lane and visit those cherished memories that have been buried deep in your hearts.

Frankly, I'm doing NOTHING today. No weekend chores. Maybe I will take a much needed nap.

Happy Mothers Day. It isn't an easy one, but it is one that you won't go through by yourself.

Big Hugs!

Wanted to bump this thread back up again, partly and selfishly just for myself. Next month will mark the first anniversary of my sweet Peg's passing, and I remember so clearly what a lovely and special Mother's Day weekend we had spent beforehand. Just like this year, we were lucky enough to have my mom here with us, joining hubby, Luna and me. Peg had an especially lovely time, surrounded by all her adoring family. But after that weekend had passed, her downward slide accelerated.

So today dawns as a bittersweet morning for me. I am so grateful for what and "who" surrounds me. But in the corner of my mind and heart, I am seeing my shiny black dog and wishing so much that I could truly set my eyes on her once again.

Thanks to all my furkids who have made me such a proud mom. I love you all -- Luna beside me, and Barkis and Peg at Rainbow Bridge. I will always love you all.

Your Mom
