I am over 70, but still feel like I am just 7. I love to go dancing with my wonderful husband of almost 40 years.Since we have never earned a lot of money, we have learned to take care of what we have. We live in the mountains in north georgia in a big beautiful house that my husband build and it is mortgage free. Now I am trying to save so my "younger" husband can retire someday.
To me, mother's day is a sad day. I lost my mother in 1978 and my dh lost his mother in 1992. To the best of my memory, I have never even received a mother's day card. Yesterday, was no exception.
Although I am not actually kin to you,
And have no reason to appreciate the things that you do.
I thought that it would not be terribly hard,
To send you a simple Mother's Day card.
Happy belated Mother's Day Ima. I don't have children, so for what it's worth, I've never gotten a card either. It might be nice to have instead of Mother's Day a Women's Day to recognize that women can have varied accomplishments, not just giving birth.
Just like all the other days, it's mostly marketing hype by Madison Avenue. Hopefully people who care about you will find ways to express that throughout the year.
Ima saver,
I know how you feel. I lost my mother in 2003. I was best friends with her. On mothers day when everyone was telling what they bought for thier mothers, I started crying.
I have 3 great boys..20,15,10. The to oldest always remember every holiday the third lives with his father so I have to call him to remind him of such holidays. Yesterday I waited all day for him to call then at 10:30pm I called my ex and asked him how his mother enjoyed mothers day. He said great . I then preceded to chew him a new #######.
He apologized but its normal.
So to a new friend..YOU.. Happy Belated Mothers Day
I lost my mom and my MIL three days apart from each other this past February which left my children with no grandmothers. The day was hard, but we had a dinner celebration in their memory and my 3 children gave me beautiful cards even though I cooked breakfast, washed all the bedding, three loads of laundry, grocery shopping and made dinner. Shish, whose day is it. Happy Mother's Day to all of you.
