@Alice That's all kinds of awesome! What a great story. And yes hug em hard if you still have them.
@Alice This is my second Christmas without my mom. She wasn't the warmest and fuzziest person, but she loved us and took care of us, and I miss the person she was before dementia took her away for the last five years of her life.
@Alice I just lost my sweet mom two months ago and I am still grieving. It’s so hard missing her. ❤️🩹
@leftyknowitall Aw, Jeremy. I am so sorry. Sending all of my love your way!
@Alice Thank you so much. Your post helped open my floodgate of tears today, and I needed that after holding it together for the last weeks. As I said at her memorial service, I talked about how my mom was always the first person to help someone who is struggling, and how we all need more of that energy now. Sending you and others all my good will.
@Alice I lost my Mom 18 years ago and I miss her every day. She was also good at making the most of whatever we had. The holidays were always special because she put so much heart into everything. What a gift to have had the time with her I did have. Hugs 🫂
My mom recently told me about a Christmas when she had only $5 to spend on each of us (6!) kids.
I cried to hear her talk about it... She made Christmas so wonderful every year! I knew some years my parents weren't working with much, but she still found ways to make it special.
@artemis Aw. I love this!
@Alice
that's just a great story on so many levels a d just a great all around post. that's a keeper
@Alice Your a good egg, Merry Christmas. Those of us who won the mom lottery know just how lucky we are.
Boosting this because Christmas always makes me think of my mom, but whenever this post goes around, I inevitably get people who are upset saying "not everyone had a good mom so don’t tell me what to do!"
I get it. I do.
If you had a bad mom, I hope you at least have someone who is good to you, so you can hug them instead, but please don’t come into the comments blasting me for trying to remind people to hug their moms because that's something I’m no longer able to do and I would give anything to be able to do that even once more.
@Alice My mom was intelligent, funny, witty and emotionally draining. She'd start wringing her hands over how awful Christmas was going to be in AUGUST, and she'd continue bemoaning how little we had or were going to have for 5 solid months. It was exhausting. I might miss her, but I sure don't miss the drama.
@Alice
My mom’s a very complicated woman and we’ve never had a close relationship. My dad died suddenly 7 yrs ago and I promised him I’d take care of her. Today she made me cry by giving me a mug with a saying on how much I mean to her. Our relationship will always be complicated but we are becoming closer than I ever thought imaginable. My dad’s death became a gift for my mom and me. I still miss his terribly but I’m grateful for this time with my mom.
