The conversation with mom

[Harlan Huckleby]

I always begin with a remark like, "I'm a little rushed today, let's make this quick." Sort of a tradition. How did your well-wishing go? Did you use skype, phone, text or just walk upstairs for some face time?

I haven't called yet. And I'm pretty sure that the donation card to the National Mall flowers hasn't reached her yet. She'll get a nice surprise on Tuesday which better look a lot better than the email receipt.

She keeps changing her number and doesn't give me her new one.

I like to think of this as "our song":

you're mom is hot

Hey, not to bring anyone down on this day but dang.......appreciate the time you have with your parents!! I would love to be able to spend the day with my Mom today and can't. Just together in my thoughts! Miss her terribly! She was an amazing woman and I'm too young to be without my Mommy!!! :) God Bless Her!

My conversation with my "Mom" would be very short and simple. Unfortunately sharing it would send this thread into the GC post haste. How could I live with myself if I did such an awful thing on such a hallowed day as this?

BIG TIME on the parents. Mine were awesome ! I like the touch that my sweetie came up with yesterday. She changed her profile photo on Facebook to a photo of her Mom's. Her Mother by all accounts like Mae was an amazing woman and I ofte feel her Spirit in Mae's home.

I'm a day late with this so I'll innovate:

GrnBay007: HAPPY Mother's Day Week.

The same to all Mothers at Packerrats.

Ahh !

Well I guessI put a damper on this thread, unwittingly so, and for that I apologize. My deep seated hatred for my birth “mom” runs deep and rears its ugly head, much like the Kraken, on an annual basis. I hope it shall be expunged one of these days before I take the eternal “big sleep”.

The impending death of my step mom (she had the “pleasure” of raising me through those hellacious years of 13-19, and boy was I a handful so hat’s off to her!) from the big “C”only compounds my emotions.

But, this place ain’t Oprah. (Springer sometimes perhaps J)

That being said, Grnbay007 is correct. Cherish those you still have, the ones that were there for you. Her post was very well put.

I pray your mom's passing is as easy as possible for all those involved Easy.

FWIW we went as a family to visit my mom and had a pinic in the park. Next to the park is a paddling pool that isn't open yet, but my 2 1/2 yr old spent about 3/4 of an hour looking for a key to open the lock. It was a blast.
I bought my wife one of those fancy red counter top mixers. Came with a cook book that had a recipe for Key Lime Pie. I just gave myself a fathers day gift! Score!
