There are a few Mothers who read this forum from time to time as well as all of us on here have or had Mothers we love or loved. Again, Happy Mother's Day to all for which it applies.

My Mother passed away from emphesema and resulting coronary problems in 1998. Bless her heart, she had been a chain smoker for almost all of her adult life. I'm planning to go to her grave site later today to place her favorite flowers on her grave. Rest in peace, "Momma."

It’s been a year of “ firsts” , and not in a good way , first Mother’s Day without her. While no , she is not here , she is never far from me. Whatever good that is within me , is her doing.
