Mission 25. I Really Mean it this time>

[ninelives]

Happy Mothers day everyone:

I know it will be a struggle for many on this board.

I bought some flowers from my boys and a card. Youngest son also bought flowers for her garden to plant.

I just slipped in a hand written note in their card supporting her on this tough day since her MOM just passed away and this will be the first mother's day without her mom.

I basically urged her to Yes , think of her mom today but not to MOURN her too much but rather celebrate the 84 years she had her and the blessing she had. ( Children, grand children, great grand children) And to focus on the positives today, Namely her children that love her .

I did write that she was a great mom and shared one memorable story about each kid where she demonstrated that.

Im following 25 , Denver, AK's and Country's advice to be more positive. I simply signed my name to it, no expectations. I think it was just a simple nice thing to do.

NOw i will have no contact with her for the rest of the day.

BTW Islander, dont worry about advice, its not always neccessary.
Just touching base is all thats required most time and to know that you are there supporting. Thats what this board is all about I think.
