Sometimes I don't understand her, but one thing.......?

……..I know is that she has given me love and taught me how to love; she's my mother.



So much can be said about our moms. Where is your relationship with your mom? Which of these words are closer home to you?



THESE:



I still go to her when I feel the winter of this world; when I’m engulfed in the snow of despair; cause I know that I shall find warmth in her presence, in her hugs, in her kisses, in her smiles. Strange enough, even when she gives me that look of reprimand, I feel safe to be next to her.



OR:



Death has robbed me of those soft loving hands; even though I shed tears no more, my heart is still crying; I miss.



Every time I bring her flowers to the tombstone, I wish I could hear that laughter, I wish I could hear that voice; I now only live to cherish the time God gave me to be with her. I know you’re in good hands of the Lord; and till we meet again, I love you mom.



OR:



Sometimes I wonder how would I be feeling, if I lost you through death; would I still be shedding tears or would I have accepted that God’s will has been done? I’m saddened that you are angry at the world, and me; but in my heart you remain my mom. The pillar of strength I should be holding on to; how I wish I could lay my head on bosom to celebrate my happiness and to offload my sorrows!

Sometimes I don't understand her, but one thing.......?
The second one. My mother as my best friend and I still cry for her even though I lost her 21 years ago. I have 2 children she never saw, and I miss her desperately. Every day, I think of her, to hear her voice say my name, her hugs, laughter, smile. It is so painful sometimes I don't know how to go on. Mothers should be placed on a pedestal and loved.
Reply:Is this your tear jerker question ? Reading the second description DID bring tears to my eyes. My mom died 12 years ago. I have not thought much of her for years, but your question has opened all that, and indeed I would love to have her here with me. Boo hoo Hoo, sniff, sniff, wipe the eyes. And there was many a time that I did not understand her, either.
Reply:None- she is mentally ill, and so I support her. Not the other way round, any more.
Reply:Thanks for that Unathi...

My mum means the world to me and i love her unconditionally, I think mothers are the most caring and unselfish beings on the planet....
Reply:Hi, sisi;



The first ones are for me. Thanks for reminding me that I'm blessed to still have a mom. Most others don't have them anymore.
Reply:Good one, Nathi! This reminds me of this story I heard long time ago…….You see, in the olden days townships moms would leave together in the morning to go to work as domestic servants…..then in the afternoon, they would come together as those friends who left in the morning ……….. but this time they would come with parcels in their hands or on their heads……….township children knew that the parcels are either left-over food or old clothes given by mothers’ employers…….. on this day it happened that a group of boys were playing in the street when the bus stopped and moms alighted. It was a distance of about 150m……..one of the boys said, “there comes moms!” and the lot ran to these women who had just got off the bus………..there was this boy who outran all of them……..as he nears the group of women, he started to slow down…….and everyone passed him to their moms……..he slowed down cause he remembered that he had no mom out of that group…….he remembered that each of the other boys would go and fall in their mom’s embrace………he wouldn’t be able to go to any of those women….none was his mom.



It is painful for adults not to have a mom; it is most painful to children not to have that loving warmth from their moms. To whom would they run to?
Reply:Well my son. some say God was a woman. Some say he was Irish as he liked green pastures. God isn't mad at you. He or she just want's you to not smoke and play a good sport.
Reply:I have no memories of my biolgical mom. She died whne I was 18months old. My granny became my mom. She was a phenomenal woman. She was as you said "[my] pillar of strength". When I feel down and out I just bring her back in my mind, and that thought alone inspires me to overcome my problems.
Reply:Thank you for reminding me just how lucky i am to still have my mother to turn to for everything - she is the best and i can never thank her for all her love and care and like the song say when you add it all up the cost of her love is no charge
Reply:The first words Unathi are more accurate for me. My mother is everything to me. The fact that is sickly lately makes me very worried and sad but i pray God each and everyday to give me few more years with this iconic woman.
Reply:Unathi, I think that our culture has taught us that our mothers are more precious than gold and many of us have come to love and respect them unconditionally. My relationship with my mom is one in which I cannot imagine life without her.

I'd go to her for every season, for the good times and the bad and thank God that she is MY mother. A star for you!
