Happy Mothers Day again Marine Mothers
I call my Mom twice a day and sometimes three or four ever since my Dad died in 2002
Sometimes it get hard because we were never close but I'm her only friend since my dad passed. My two sisters live in the same town and my Mom at age 73 works for my sister four days a week and only See's her and my other sister on Sunday nights at there church. My Mom goes to another church on Sunday Mornings.
I'm the only one that calls her so much and she trust me. I didn't always treat my Mom with respect but now's my chance and I'm glad I'm here for her now.

My mom is in heaven with my dad, I miss them both very much. Thank you for the Happy Mothers Day greeting. I have three sons, three daughter-in-laws, and seven grandchildren. Those grandchildren are well worth having, I finally got some little girls in the family. Semper Fi Sheila Hays

To all here whose Mom has away I understand and accept my condolences. My Mom is buried out of state so visits are far and few

This morning I visited my wife of 25 years who passed away two years ago at age 49 from breast cancer. It's been tough

But this morning I brought her great news, our youngest daughter is engaged and she and her betrothed are driving down here to Virginia next weekend so he can formally ask for her hand. I did the same thing but I thought it was a lost gesture in this generation

Best to you all

Never take your mother for granted

May we never take our mothers for granted For those who are lucky to still be blessed with your Mom this is beautiful.
For those who aren't, this is even more beautiful.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is this the long way?" she asked. And the guide said, "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."

But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, she fed them and bathed them, and taught them how to tie their shoes and ride a bike and reminded them to feed the dog, and do their homework and brush their teeth.

The sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this." Then the nights came, and the storms, and the path was sometimes dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her arms, and the children said, "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come." And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, a little patience and we are there."

So the children climbed, and as they climbed they learned to weather the storms. And with this, she gave them strength to face the world. Year after year, she showed them compassion, understanding, hope, but most of all.... unconditional love. And when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you." The days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she became little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage.

And the mother, when she lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned so much and are now passing these traits on to their children."

And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her, and gave her their strength, just as she had given them hers.

One day they came to a hill, and beyond the hill, they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk with dignity and pride, with their heads held high, and so can their children after them."

And the children said, " You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence."

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop A mother shows every emotion..........happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow...and all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love; your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space...............not even death!

Sparkie, I had the kind of Mother-in-law peop;e dream about. When Betty and I had a disagreement, Her mother would stick up for me. I guess She liked me. The other side of that coin was, My Mother, without fail, stuck up for Betty! Bless all Mothers, and treasure them while they're here. I'm a day late, but it's never too late to say, "I love you, MOM !!!" :) S/F!! Ken
