The Perfect Mother

The Perfect Mother

 We all wish we had the perfect mother, but what exactly would make a perfect mother?

To me, a perfect mother would be someone who listened to me when I spoke instead of putting me down and telling me that all my ideas were crazy and would never work. The perfect mother would be someone who was there for me when I needed her the most, you know, a shoulder to cry on, not someone who caused me a lot of pain. The perfect mother would be someone who treated all of us equally and not favoured one sibling over the other. The perfect mother would be someone who loved me, not just because I was her daughter, but loved me for who I really am.

My Mother and I had our differences and neither one us was perfect by any means. However, she was my Mother. She gave birth to me and she did love me very much. I know see that all my Mother wanted what was best for me even though she sometimes had a strange way of showing it. I loved and respected my Mother very much.

My Mother passed away on July 31, 2001 and I miss her terribly. I don't think I have ever gotten over her death and I probably never will. I don't think I told my Mother how much I loved her often enough. Happy Mother's Day, Mom and even though you are no longer here with us anymore, I love you with all my heart and soul.

Mother's Day

  • Women In My Family HATED Mothers Day!

    My grandmother was born in the first part of May. Rather than celebrate her birthday on the day, it was combined with Mother's Day. Great for her, not so great for the rest of us after we too became mothers. Forget any plans our own children might have for us... - 3 years ago

  • How to Make Your Mom or Mum Super Happy with 10 "What a great gift" Ideas

    Moms are people too. Despite popular beliefs, moms do have a life of their own. In honor of my friends, I've compiled a list that I'm sure they would appreciate. Hopefully it will inspire you to think about your mom, who she is, what she gets into, what she wants to get into, and hopefully this year, she won't say, "You shouldn't have" or, "I would have been just as happy with a phone call." Cause quite frankly, we all know what that means. - 3 years ago

  • HubMob Weekly topic: Mother’s day

    I have just published a hub "Mother's Day versus "Mothering Sunday" about this very topic. It is a comparison between USA and UK versions of the celebration. Do visit my profile and read it. Thnx. - 3 years ago

  • Happy Mother's Day in Heaven - A Letter to My Friend

    A Dove with an Olive Branch is a Symbol of Peace the World Over. It is very difficult to believe it has been four years since you passed through Heaven’s Gate. I will always remember that day, being so near to Mother’s Day, your birthday... - 3 years ago

  • Paint A Picture For Your Mom On Mother's Day

    Painting a picture for you mom would be a very thoughtful mother's day gift.  This project will be of a moderate cost because you have to buy a canvas, paintbrushes, and paint.  However, if you are like me you probably already have these supplies... - 3 years ago

Such sweet sentiment. I spent many years in an abusive marriage (working on divorce right now, after 12 1/2 years) and he rarely allowed me to be around my mother. He didn't approve of her past, therefore to him, she didn't exist. Her and I haven't always had the best relationship either but I love her and she loves me. I miss her. I've seen her a couple times in the last few months but I'm not going to ever let her think I'm avoiding her again. You never know when they'll be gone. And my asshole ex will never take that from me, thank God.

Glad to hear because I can't tell my Mother anything anymore because she isn't here anymore but I think she is still here in spirit and when things go wrong for me, I look for her spirit to guide me.

That's exactly what I was getting at. She knows you love her, she's watching over you:)
