Selfish But Sad.....

[Smowball]

My wonderful mum died 4 years ago, the day before Mothers Day, aged just 59 from breast cancer, and so going round the shops today getting a card for myMIL was hard.

So just wanted to say to really appreciate your mum while you have her, as you nevr know whats around the corner....... xxx

[MadMen]

Aww, Smow, that is really sad :-(

Big hugs xx

I know Snowball, I miss mine to she died in 1998.

[DTCwordfan]

Hi Smow....think of the good times that you had.

[Smowball]

Dont, you'll make me cry. But thankyou xx Puts my nonsense into perspective xx

[excelsior-1]

All my thoughts, smowball

I miss my mum on Mother's Day, but this year it's fallen on my daughter's birthday so will be a good day............

[Smowball]

Im being so selfish, but its still so hard a day. Thankyou xx

Mine is still with us in body, sadly her mind has gone - but I'm still glad she's with us. Dad died in 1979, not a day passes when I don't think of him, and what he's missed, 3 grandchildren, 3 beautiful great granddaughters he'd have been thrilled. Mum doesn't really remember him nowadays

[nungate]

By the way Smow, you are not being selfish - everyone needs their Mum you know - even when they have left us, we carry them in our hearts

[stokemaveric]

wise words smow..

[Smowball]

aww thankyou guys. was just so horrible being in the card shop with loads of people choosing cards, and I couldnt buy one.......

Smowball -why not buy your mum a card, light a candle for her and just take a few minutes out to think about her?

[EvianBaby]

Unfortunately, although still alive, some of our mums don't deserve the sentiment of Mother's Day. Mother's Day being thrust in your face is equally as hard.

[Smowball]

Thats actually a lovely idea magsmay x
I just miss her so much,

My Mum died in 1971, much too young [only 36].I would have loved her to share the birth of my daughter and 4 grandchildren. There will always be part of me missing. I wish other people appreciated their mothers while they had the
chance but life's circumstances don't always allow this. I've learnt from friends.

[Zacs-Master]

Isn't Mr Smow sensitive to this. He should be buying the card for his mother.

[Smowball]

He did buy the card for his mum< but was sad not being able to buy one for my own mum xx

[magsmay]

so you're out shopping with your hubby smow - got things sorted then?

[NoMercy]

My mum means the world to me but I'm going to miss my Nan this year. :-( x
