Here’s A Rose For Our Mothers

May 5, 2020 By Charity M. Richey-Bentley 70 Comments

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.

        Yes I miss my mom every day and night , if anyone has a mother that is still alive let her know how much she means to you and how lucky you are to still have her with you!!! Life is short , so don’t waist time not making her feel special, help her do the things she can not do anymore, the littlest things mean so much!!! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers in the world !!!

    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.

    Mom,
    We may not have had the last couple of years together but we had so many. You taught me how to be a strong woman and how to come out on topnotch matter what is thrown my way. I will always miss you and remember you with love love for always. I know you were the best mom. That you could be and I in turn am the best mom that I can be. Mistakes are made but learnt from and the children are shown the live that they all need so desperately. I am grateful that you were my mom. One thing we all knew you loved each and every one of us with all your heart Happy mothers day to you in heaven, Delores A Duran

    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.

    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.
