Happy Mother's Day, God
I came across this entry and suddenly I felt the loss. Somewhat I am "happy" that Mother's Day isn't celebrated in Indonesia. Our "Mother's Day" is celebrated on December 20, and it's not really a Mother's Day, but Women's Day.
I have no child to give me a kiss this morning
I have no mother-in-law, no matter how annoying she could be, to give a hug today
But I am thankful that God gives me a chance to once felt how happy it was having a mother
And I am honored that God still gives me a chance to take care of my father
My little dogs, thank you for being my kids in our own weird ways
Thank You, Lord
for being my Father and my Mother
for loving me and taking care of me much better than any parents in the world can do
Happy Mother's Day, God
Anyway, this is the e-card I sent to all mothers I know. My friends and my aunts. Please consider this as the e-card I send you too :)
My parents and I were very frank to each other. It's a good thing, but sometimes being too honest is not really a good thing :D Even when Mom was still with us, Dad's been always said that he loved Mom more than he loved me, and he's seriously unhappy that Mom loved me more than she loved him. Hehe. She never asked him what to eat daily, but every time she went to a market, she always asked me what I'd have for lunch and dinner.
Just imagine how much I miss my mother now? :)
I've never told my parents, but honestly deep inside, I loved Mom more than I loved Dad. I loved them both, but I was closer to Mom. She's my best friend, but Dad, even though he's a great guy, he's never been our really close friend :D He lives in his own world, he doesn't like talk much to us. It's not a bad thing, but we're chatty and we like to go out. He never want to leave the house if it's not really important. We've never had such thing like family picnic, but it's fine because he's been a very faithful and honest husband to my Mom - and that's the best thing a father can do for his children.
So dear Mommy in Heaven,
Just to let you know that you're still my favorite - and this is my Mother's Day e-card for you :)
Love,
Connie

Thank you for the Mother's Day Card and I hope you have a pleasant day tomorrow!!!
You dad and mine are the same age, give or take a year or two. My dad talks to my husband way more than he talks to me. It's kind of sad. Even if I knew 75% more about something than my husband, he'd still want to know it from my husband.....I think it's a generational thing. I'm just the girl...the woman, so what do I know !!
From the bottom of my heart I wish my realationship with my mom was better.
This is a beautiful tribute to her. I am sure she is smiling.
Yeah, I wish you a better mother-daughter relationship, Lucinda. Hugs!
Connie, may I ask how old are you?
Oh, I'm sure you do !!! My Mom and Dad were in a car accident a few weeks ago, only a couple weeks after my Mom had a serious surgery, and was already not doing very well. It was so scary. She was in the hospital for several days and even a couple weeks later wasn't doing all that well....but today when I saw her she was much, much better. It was so hard dealing with all of that....I know it must hurt you a ton to be without your dear Mother.
{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
So, Connie, I know it must be really hard on you, I'm sorry, I know how it feels- but I know I can't take away your pain, but I care. ( Big Hugs)
My 81 year old Dad is something to behold. His neck hurt the first day after the car accident, then he was just fine. He is so full of life....incredibly healthy.....and something else I'm so thankful for....both of my parents are still mentally very sharp. Neither have lost a step there.
Tammie, despite the fact that I'm doing the best I can to have a happy and productive relationship with both of my parents, my childhood was way past dysfunctional....it was very, very violent.
I understand there will never be any resolution to what happened to me. Things like that can never be resolved.....but I know I have to keep putting one foot in front of the other...no matter what, and keep doing the best I can to be a loving, kind, and whole person...I'm a much, much happier and healther person now. There is hope. Ultimately we have to learn to parent ourselves and give ourselves the nuturing we never got as children.
Take care !!

I wish you the best and admire you for being there for your parents.
