Me and Mom


Mother's Day will always be bittersweet for me. On my first Mother's day as a mother, my own mother passed away after battling multiple sclerosis for many years. My father had died the year previously and after he died it was almost as if she gave up entirely. The disease not only effected her physically but mentally as well. I found this picture today so I could post it to honor her- she is the one that I can thank for my photography skills and interest. She was always snapping photos of me and my sister so this now lives on in me. Thanks mom!

I lost my mother at a relatively young age, too. I'm so glad you have that photo of her, and good memories.

I am so sorry and I completely understand. I lost my Mom also. But what a blow to loose her on Mother's day.

So sorry about your loss, and the sad connections to mother's day, but hopefully you'll carve out many more much more positive memories now.
