I second that. Mama, Gramma, Aunts, Sisters, this is a day to celebrate the women that I can trust and the women I can depend on. Had to club on Friday. Took one of my littlest sisters out for a birthday dinner tonight. Am I the only person who thinks that martinis are overrated?
My mom died 9 years ago. But she is buried in Florida so I can't visit her. it's up in the middle part of the state - by Orlando- so even a little far for you to visit her for me :)
Were she where I could, I would do just that for you. Mothers hold a very special place in my heart. They are the pillar of a society, but that is quickly being torn asunder.
My mom is 93 and disabled by several injuries, mostly falls that have happened since she turned 85. The falls are, in part, caused by the knee injury that happened in college basketball in 1940 and the re-injury in 1943 while she served in the WAC. Even slowed down by the knee she has led an active and full life and still lectures great-grand-kids on exercise, diet and "playing" outside. "Look at me, see what happens when you don't get enough sun and sports!"
But Mom IS still around! That is the important point. I was with her last month, but live far away so will only be calling her today.
Motor, Clubber, though I only dimly understand your loss (since my mom is still around) you have my honest sympathy.
For all of us, whether taking mom to brunch, calling her, visiting her or mourning her passing; today is a good day to remember better days with Mom laughing, smiling and serving up the best of life.
