Mother’s Day is a day we celebrate, remember and honor our Mothers. It has always been a wonderful time for me. Unfortunately, for some, Mother’s Day can be so sad.
For many of us, our Mothers are in Heaven and we miss them terribly. We especially miss them during the time of Mother’s Day. So many are celebrating, but if you’ve lost your Mother, you don’t feel like celebrating.
As you get older, it isn’t just the fact that your mother gave birth to you that you celebrate. Of course, this is celebrated, but there is so much more too.
As you get older, you remember and celebrate all the time you’ve had with each other. You remember the good times and the bad. You remember how you supported each other and how, when things seemed really bad, you persevered, worked at it and came through a stronger, happier mother/daughter or mother/son team.
You remember all the times you had as a child when you may not have seen how important she was to you, but now you see it so clearly.
You remember the times your children, her grandchildren, had with her and you are so thankful that they got to spend time with their grandmother and make wonderful memories.
Sometimes the grief from missing our Mothers can overwhelm us and remove any desire for celebration. Grief can sneak up on us and like a thief in the night remove our joy.
But, over time, you start to remember all the good times with your mother. All the laughter that was shared, all the prayers you prayed together and all the blessings you were blessed with as a family.
You learn not to focus on any pain they may have been in near their passing, but, instead, you remember all the blessings they had. And that’s what they would want us to do.
They would want us to remember the good times and the blessings. They would want us to focus on how much they loved us and how they helped us become who we are today.
So, here’s a rose for our Mothers who are in Heaven this Mother’s Day. They will always be loved. They will always be missed.

Happy mother’s day to Rita Eagler and also to my beautiful mom Marcia, you may be gone but forever in our thoughts. We love you
Barbara Anne Post says
Although she did not give birth to me, she was the only mother I knew from the time I was nine months old. She taught me everything, showed me how to behave like a lady, and made sure I had enough religion by the time I was twelve years old to last me throughout my life. Yes, I miss her, I miss my daughter too. Now I hope they are together in heaven, loving each other as I loved them both.
Beverly says

Sharon Wrench says
I lost my mom in 2006. She died from cancer. She was not just my mom, but my friend as well. Mother’s Day was so special for my sister and I, as we were privileged to attend her Class Reunion with her in Davis OK for many years. She loved her classmates and we did too. She kept her memories alive and kept us entertained. We miss her more than words can say, but I know we will see her again soon. If you were ever down, she would say “Let’s think on something else.” I love you forever mom.
Gloria Jackson says
I miss my mother,she was 45 when she passed away.she never knew my husband or that we had 3 daughters. So many things my mother taught me. Yet now my mother knows my daughters as our 3 daughters have passed away.Love you mother you and you have a nice Mother’s Day. With Rhonda,Regina,and Renee.

My mother passed away in 2018 at the age of 93. My Mother in Law passed away in 1978 at the age of 65. She died of cancer. My wife was only 26 at the time. It was very hard on her. My wife passed away in 2016 at the age of 64. All three were wonderful mothers and looking down on all of us now. God Bless you Mothers.

pat says
My Mom died from cancer when she was only 42yrs old. I was a very immature 22yrs old. I miss her more and more as I get older. I wish I had the chance to tell her how much I love and miss her. She was a hard working lady at home and at her job out side the house. She did not have a happy life. Her husband (my father) was a mean SOAB. She deserved better.
Vicki Fox says
Miss you daily Mom. You left us way too soon, but guess God had a purpose & reason for that. You’d love your great-granddaughter & grand-daughter – we had fun today. Bless us & I know God is keeping you in Heaven for us later.
