My mom died in 1968, when she was fifty-eight. I still tell her my joys and woes, knowing that she still delights in me.<br /><br />Thank you, DJan, for your thoughtful description of how you feel about the children of others. You've put into words exactly what I feel.

I think that is what I enjoy most about blogging, connecting with each other, sharing our lives and our losses.<br /><br />I love the hummingbird photo! I have caught a couple in my yard, but I haven't found any sort of bird nest anywhere!<br /><br />I'm with you on preferring homemade to Hallmark! Jessica has prided herself on never buying a card for anyone. She has always made either a card, written a poem, or painted/created something. Each gift is a work of art and are much more valuable than a store bought card!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-34321408536743983342012-05-14T05:41:05.684-07:002012-05-14T05:41:05.684-07:00Your post is beautiful, as is the picture of you a...Your post is beautiful, as is the picture of you and your mother.<br /><br />As always, your words inspire, encourage and humble me.<br /><br />I would be thrilled to find a hummingbird nest, but none yet.

T...Your posts are treasures to read and keep, DJan. This one is touching and brings tears to my eyes. I loved my mother and cared for her after she became ill. I still miss her. There was a time I would not go to church on Mother's Day because I did not have children, although I helped raise a few. The mothers were singled out and praised by the preacher and he read a certain scripture that made me feel like I had no purpose on earth since I didn't have a child. So I quit going to church on Mother's day. I feel far better now about it all, and I'm grateful I had the most wonderful mother in the world.<br />I can't imagine the pain of losing children but you write so beautifully of your memories.Glenda Beallhttp://www.profilesandpedigrees.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-31989522460273252202012-05-13T18:20:18.586-07:002012-05-13T18:20:18.586-07:00The step-daughters sent Mother's Day cards to ...The step-daughters sent Mother's Day cards to my wife.

I love the photo you shared. <br /><br />Mother's Day is fraught with so many emotions for children, f mothers and for those who were never mothers alike. I think that part of the reason is because of the sentimentalism of store bought cards. Also, it is surrounded with guilt and loss for others. <br /><br />I love your commentaries about the day because they are so honest and real. Your memories of your children and your mother are very poignant, yet you leave your readers with thoughts of acceptance and beautiful memories. I love this about you. You inspire and instruct in so many ways.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-4343950071789253582012-05-13T17:20:50.349-07:002012-05-13T17:20:50.349-07:00I've thought of you often today, DJan.
