Mom's been in heaven fer 37 years now. This poem hung above our toilet.
ME MUDDER
Who took me from my cozy cot
and placed me on the ice cold pot
and made me pee when i could not?
.....Me Mudder!
Who's hair so gently she would part
and hold me tightly to her heart
and sometimes squeeze me til I'd fart?
.....Me Mudder!
She taught me that women were my superiors no matter what other Men said.
The lady who wrote the following also wrote the "Battle hymn of the Republic"
Mother's Day Proclamation of 1870
By Julia Ward Howe
Arise, then, women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be that of water or tears!
Say firmly: "We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies
Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all
that we have taught them of charity, mercy, and patience.
We women of one country will be too tender of those of another
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the bosom of the devastated earth, a voice goes up with our own.
It says, "Disarm, Disarm!"
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.
Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail & commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other
as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace.
In the name of womanhood and of humanity,
I earnestly ask that a general congress of women, without limit of nationality,
may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient
and at the earliest period consistent with its
objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
the great and general interests of peace.
love, Den

Me Mudder has been amongst the Angels for a 2 years now. I buried Ma on September 11. THE September 11.
After the services I was sitting home gazing out the window when a bike run, must have been 300 bikes, came roaring down the road. I swear to this day I saw Ma on the back of one of those Harleys, smiling gloriously and chucking me the bird.
Bless her warm Irish heart.
I love ya MA ! Happy Mother's Day !

My mother died one year ago on May 10th. She used to love butterflys. She collected them and drew them. On the day of her funeral after we all returned to the house, a butterfly flew through the family room....I know it was my mother...still makes me smile.
Den, thanks for those.

I lost my Mother on August 20, 1994. Still miss her every damn day, and sometimes I still pick up the phone to call her.
Thanks for the thread Den......

We took my mom to Lost Wages for Moms' Day. Every SINGLE TIME I take her, she tells me this will probably be the last time she'll be able to go......this time, it took both of us, my husband & myself to haul her and all her belongings, chased her through a multitude of casinos, called on the help of security to find her several times when she veered the wrong way after visiting the restroom.........then there were the times she dropped the entire contents of her purse.....
I'm sure hoping we have another "last time" next year.

I used to take Ma to the Casino and watch her dissapear all the time. She loved the nickel machines. Found her one day with the tray full to the top with coins. Told her to take them out befor someone stole them. "Oh for cryin out loud they are only nickels"
She was plaing the dollar machine. Didn't know it. Over $800.00. LMMFAO that day!
