First of all, Happy Mother's Day Ladies.The above letter came from my Mother before she passed. That's the kind of Mom she was.
While many of you join me today in missing our Mothers, I feel your pain. Count your blessings to those who's Mothers are still with you.
Take note of the short letter above and perhaps send one of your own to each and every one of your Children so they may reflect back on something as special as that brief message.
To Mom, you dedicated your life to God and your Children. More importantly, you dedicated the majority of your life counseling those Mothers debating abortion and choosing LIFE instead. So on this Mother's Day, Mom, you have more children than you ever knew.
May God Always Bless You for ALL you have given back, especially life.
R.I.P. Mom

Very good.
Thanks Joe. My Mom died 4 days after Mother's Day last year. She was a true Mom who had so much love in her heart, she made sure to show every child she met the same love and affection she showed her own children.
Absolutely beautiful.
Great sentiment, but PLEASE correct your usage of "'" possession. "Mother's" is speaking of your (singular) mother's possessions. Mothers is plural form of Mother.
However, the term "Mother's Day" has been a topic of discussion on whether it should be "Mothers Day" or "Mother's Day" (which is the standard that is mostly used).
As a mother myself, I cannot help but to try to teach a lesson.
Balanced Libra - seriously??? I hope your kids never give you a homemade card with a word spelled incorrectly.
Joe, thank you for sharing. You had a very special Mother!
My kids can give me a card with Merthers Dae or anything I will treasure it. Lighten up lady.
Many years ago, I was given a hand written Mother's Day card on a Simpson's note pad. It said,
Happy Mother's Day Mom, I love you!
P.S. I need some mini pads
To this day I have that saved in a baggie. It was one of my favorites!
Any true mother has the patience of a saint when it comes to their kids....Balanced Libra.....I don't think you are very balanced.
My mother died in 1994 at such a young age of 58 and I have been in pain everyday since then. It saddens me that she didn't get to see her grandchildren and they don't get to see her.

I prefer Mother's Day because it IS her day and therefore belongs to her!
My Mom passed in 1997, and both of my grandmothers a few years later.
I miss them all very much. And as much as I use to think they were missing out on their grandchildren, I know that they are smiling down everyday from heaven and are part of our daily lives.
God Bless all our mothers, and be thankful for everyday you have with them.
Today, like any other day I thank my mother for who she was. As I get older I see more of my parents in me. At one time that was scary but now it brings me great comfort.
Great picture except for that ugly guy standing up.l.o.l.
Mrs. Howe, who wrote "Battle Hymn of the Republic," worked to get Mother's Day as a reminder not to sacrifice children to war.
To those bashing Balanced Libra, I'm sure she doesn't put down young children for misspelled words, but I say Bless Her! for taking a moment to want anyone and everyone to be a little more educated.
Nothing wrong with that. Funny how so many on here bark about speaking English, then don't use it properly. The U.S. has become very sloppy and illiterate in the use of its own language.
Libra was gentle in her suggestion to get it right. I think it's great she cares and offered a helpful tip.
To Joe and his family, to all of you out there, remember a fine mom, hug yours if she's still with you, and help other mothers when you can. We'll all be better for it.
To my mom in heaven, I love and thank you always.
While I did not realize that I would offend so many, I thank 5:17 for his/her understanding. He/She is correct in my effort. I love the English language and try to instill in my own children its proper usage. To me, it's absolutely deplorable that we, as US citizens, butcher our common language so badly then have the audacity to demand newcomers use it (which, by the way I support wholeheartedly). It doesn't take much effort to speak correctly, and even less to write so.
Once again, I do thank Joe for such a lovely post about his mother and the sentiment it invoked. I'm sure that even Joe's mom spent her life teaching her children, young and old, these little life lessons.
Very nice!
