Mother’s Day has always been difficult for me. I lost my mother when she was 67 years old and we moved from our children in Connecticut to Texas in 2001 so it’s been real difficult for me to celebrate Mother’s Day. I am very close to my daughter always have been. She’s been my heart and soul last year. I took her to a Pat Benatar concert in Connecticut because she had grown up with Pat Benatar because I used to listen to her all the time in my car I had the best time and so did she memories that you can’t live without. I don’t know if this is the right place to comment for the contest, but I had to just put my heart out there.
One of my most favorite memories of something my daughter and I were cohorts in was when she and her husband were living in Gulfport Mississippi, and I was there visiting. The sink got way backed up and we finally figured out. It was because the garbage disposal did not chew up the macaroni and it was just all stuffed in that drain pipe. Her husband was out of town and we didn’t want to call a plumber because we figured we were smart enough to fix it lol. Well we started taking it apart and the rings were so old two of them broke so we go to the hardware store and we get new rings and we go home and they’re the wrong size. Well, of course now we’re laughing because we are not plumbers, but we’re trying lol we go back to the store and this time we get the right rings and I said to my daughter you know if we were guys this would’ve really pissed us off getting the wrong rings and having to go back lol but since we are just too goofy People, it is hilarious to us and you know what we fix that sink as good as any plumber lol we have laughed about it many times over the years!
I have four daughters and they are all my best friends. My youngest at 24 is the only one that is not married and has been so awesome since she moved out and I am now an empty nester. She knows one of my favorite things is to watch movies on VHS (last of those having a VCR) that my Mom and I watched. Last Mother’s Day she surprised me to find one of the VHS tapes that had the first episode of Mork & Mindy. I told my kids (I also have one son, so five kids), about my Mom and I watching this first episode and how we fell off the couch holding our stomachs laughing so hard. My daughter found this hidden GEM, on Mother’s Day had cheese pizza, Dr. Pepper (my favorites) and sat through watching Mork & Mindy episodes (of course the first episode was all memories) and we laughed so much. If she got the humor and who wouldn’t it’s Robin Williams, newcomer to TV sitcoms, ‘exquisitely, incredibly funny, she didn’t say but laughed hard with me and even got through the old commercials, (ringtone phones, the cars models back then (bigger), hot dogs (Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner… that is what I truly like to be, OMG). My other girls called in earlier and later to chime in on the fun and loved it all with us. It was the best Sunday. I knew my Mom was there too laughing along with us and and probably in stitches too.
Mother’s Day has been a very hard day for me since in 1987 when my oldest daughter was 17 and got killed in a motorcycle accident. My youngest daughter has always made sure that Mother’s Day and my daughter’s birthday, which was May 17 or something. We never forget about And to celebrate with Love.
would love to win this amazing contest for my mom who is the most hardworking RN of 35 years and still going. She continually cares for her patients and family and still manages to function. I couldn’t be more proud to have her as my mom! She not only works full time but also is blessed and rocks the grandma (Mena) roll and also care for her elderly parents my grandparents as well. There is nothing she can’t do and if anyone deserves this its her! thanks
