Very beautiful and thanks for adding to the thread.



flowers for all the mom's

my mom's are my best friends, i have my actual mother who gave me life and my ex's mom who thinks of me as the daughter she never had and always wanted , i can talk to them about anything and everything

they have always been there when i've needed them and i've been there when they needed me

and while i have a daughter who constantly tells me she doesnt like me and wishes she had another mom i simply tell her well i like you and wouldnt trade u for anything. i might not be her best friend right now but that isnt what she needs from me yet mother first best friend later

drinker Here's to my Mom who passed September 26, 1999 from Breast Cancer which had metastasized to her lung, liver, and bones. She was a great friend, mentor, and Mother. She taught me to face death with grace, dignity, honor, but above all humor.
Not long after she had a mastectomy she wore a "Maxine" tshirt that said 'Make your boobs stand up, Reach for the stars'. I nearly wet myself when I seen her wearing it I was laughin so hard. That's how she was. She looked for the humor in every situation, I now do it. She taught me well. flowers Love ya MA!!

Ok this coffeeshouse is dedicated to all the mom's of the world....You can post anything you want....If you have a mom that has passed, remember her, or if mom still around talk about what makes her special....This also includes anyone that had a mom figure if not necessarily a biological mom.


Also includes Mom's here....and talk about kid issues, what kids have done to delight you and make you proud.



I dedicate this site to my Mom Nancy....A most amazing woman if you ever knew one. My mom died at 50 of cancer. But also because of her illness and the miracles God showed me through this difficult situation I found the Lord....I will share the story eventually...



My mom dies with a cerebral hemorrage @ 53. God bless her memory.

Having 5 kids of my own .. I can truthfully say, thru all the good and bad .........

(((((((((( Motherhood ROCKS ON!! ))))))))))))

I might be oddball...(might be? HAHA!!!!)...but in me there is this huge respect and admiration and protectiveness for mothers.

That in itself isn't odd, I suppose, but the way that it effects me is that I cannot trespass on a mother's core...um...(having trouble with words for this...sorry...)

It's like this: No matter how many fathers the various children of a woman have, those kids are united in one thing: Our mother.
Some people make a big deal about children having sprung from different fathers...and it just isn't sensible to me.
Mary, Mother of Jesus.
Joseph, husband of Mary.
Get the point?
So, in my oddball way, I sense a core within the mother that unites families through blood and bone, regardless of the kids' fathers.
It's more than blood, and more than a mother's love for her offspring. I think none of us doubt that there is a difference between motherly love and fatherly love...but this is even deeper than that.
I just lack the words to say what I mean.

God bless mothers, everywhere.

It's not odd at all....



You can tell a ton about a man with the way he treats his mother.

WOW I love this thread Deb!!

drinker to my mom....it took a thousand miles between us for us to become closer and I wouldn't change it for the world!
flowers to Sharon an amazing mother!

And to me!! :laughing: I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom!! My daughter is my gift from God (she was even born on Easter) the only child I will ever be able to have given birth too and the one that holds a large part of my heart!


OK so now I have a mom question...this is really geared towards single moms of divorce....I have been seperated/divorced for over a year and we still have issues. My daughter is very strong but VERY fearful of upsetting her dad. How do encourage them to not be so affraid without coming across pushy????

I think at least for me....that in the ideal situation that when a couple split and divorce that for the childs sake they are always on the same page. And never never never talk bad to the child about each other. I think at least imo that is where the fear of upsetting her father comes from...Not sure and of course would have to know more.


No one wrote a book on motherhood or fatherhood but I think people in general have a tendancy to put self first...even when have kids...and if that were not the case we wouldn't have so many screwed up kids..

Thanks Deb...I try very hard to NOT talk bad about her dad in front of her and he and I well we get along for the most part. I think it is just hard because they had to learn to interact with each other after we seperated because I never forced him to be a dad and now he has to and he has little patience and that scares her a little! Plus not to mention the fact that he is ALREADY re-married and his new wife is expecting. All this in one year! That is alot for my daughter to deal with! I encourage her the best I know how but I feel so bad for her sometimes. I want to fix everything but I know I can't! UGH!what
