My Mother's Day gift - my host for a talk at the Flower Shuttle last week came to get some plants today and brought me these - she is in her 80s, spunky, wonderful, and we spent a delightful 30 minutes walking around my yard today. The Flower Shuttle makes flower bouquets and delivers them to cancer patients. I don't know what to do with all my warm emotions today.

For you, Mom!

16. It will be 50 years this September

since my mother died.

She lives on in my memory, and in those of all the special-needs children and others whom she taught, I am sure.

18. Mother's Day is bittersweet for me.

While I'm blessed to have children with whom I can celebrate, I lost my mother in the wee hours of the morning after Mother's Day 5 years ago. The memory of those final hours hits hardest on Mother's Day, but I can smile through the tears knowing how much we demonstrated our love and appreciation while she was with us.

21. I was just reflecting on my mother and

several of my female ancestors. I have been building on my parents genealogy work but really focusing on my female ancestors.

Just a few of the women I have been thinking about -

One of my 3rd Great Grandmothers was a physician in Germany and migrated to a small Illinois town in 1865 when she was 55. She continued to practice until she died in 1877.

A Great Grandmother was the first woman to sit on the Board of the local Coop (1904). The only reason she was allowed on the board was that my Great Grandfather died in a farming accident. They had just purchased the farm the year before and the men thought she would move on soon as she had 6 children, 5 girls and only 1 boy. She held on and the farm is still in the family. In fact, I am going to the annual Coop meeting later this month. Thank you Grandma.

One of my Great GMs was accused of being a witch in 1692 in Andover, MA. She was in her 50s but was not found guilty and she was not executed.

Catherine of York is my 14th Great Grandmother and while that is interesting I am more fascinated, and in awe, of the women who came to this new country staring in the early 1600s and continued to arrive through the mid-1800s. Most came as young women but many, many came here when they were in their 50s and 60s and one who arrived when she was 82.

Regardless of status, country of origin, etc. their job was to have babies. Almost all of them had between 8 and 14 children. Several died in childbirth at an age when it was not reasonable to expect them to survive.

Thank you to my strong, enduring, and loving Foremothers.

31. It never gets easier...

32 yrs., and every Mother's Day, it still makes me sad. Thank you for remembering us.

To mine. Missing her dearly.

37. My beloved mom passed 7 years ago.

She was my best friend and I still so miss her.

[Curmudgeoness]

38. Thanks, that was clever.

I don't believe in heaven, but if it gets people through the day, whatever works.

Mother's Day is the hardest day of the year....and the build up to it. I have some friends who just lost their mother earlier this year, and I warned them in April to steel themselves for this day. They are having a hard time dealing with it without the constant reminder. This morning, I sent them a message telling them "Happy Mother's Day, focus on your children and enjoy the day". I know how hard it is, after 14 years.

Your post cheered me.

[Oldtimeralso]

39. Thanks for this post

It is 21 years since I've lost my mom. It was the week before mothers day and that was the worst week of my life at least so far!

50. Gone But Never Forgotten

[redstateblues]

51. Mom's been gone for 10 years.

She was my hero. Mother's Day always sneaks up on me. I'm still struggling today.

[tularetom]

52. My mom was one of the orneriest people who ever walked the earth

She was the embodiment of the word "skeptical" and she taught all three of us to be skeptical as well. She was intimidating to people who didn't know her but inside she was mush. She devoted a lot of her time, and what meager fortune she had, to the rescue of homeless and/or abused horses, dogs and cats. I can remember more than once seeing her break down in tears because some critter died when she was unable to get help to it in time.

She was a navy nurse during WWII and I think it left her with a sense of disappointment and anger at the horrible things human beings could do to other human beings. If she were still with us she would be 100 this summer. She's been gone for 12 years and I realize more than ever the impact she had on me.
