Taking for granted a love so precious.  

In my early years she was my nurse and mentor. As I started to mature she was my conscience,counsellor and friend. She was there when I first started to walk and she was there when I first fell and skinned my knee. Firsts all the way through my life.

I am now a middle aged man and up until eight weeks ago I was still seeking advice from my mother. You see I was in the fortunate position whereby she would answer my questions honestly, no games. I didn’t always like or agree with her opinions but I knew she always had my best interests at heart.

We burried my mother on Christmas Eve and I burried part of myself with her. We all miss her so much as she was a wonderful mother, Grandmother and friend. I know there are mother’s out there who do not deserve to have children but for those of you who have mother’s who care and love you, cherish every waking moment. Do not fall foul to petty fights and squabbles, understand, it’s a mother’s love.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother last year and still find it difficult. Christmas, birthdays etc. I used to get bitter when I saw who was still alive. My mother was a very religeous woman and kind to everyone she met. Yet there are murderers and drug pushers still walking the streets. I get on with things because that is what she would have wanted me to do. However I have lost my faith and no longer believe in god.
    Good luck and hopefully time is a great healer for you

    Good mother’s do not receive the credit they deserve. It is nice to hear someone appreciate the effort and sacrifices that mothers make. All we hear or read about now are the mothers who neglect their children. Iam sorry for your loss and enjoyed your article

    Hi, Came to this site accidentally, glad I did though. You have given me something to think about. I have not spoken to my mom for six months and it tares me apart. It was over something trivial and I know she is hurting as well. Thanxs for bringing me to my senses, life is to short
