the morning update

Yesterday, as I was shopping for a birthday card for my mother, I was reminded yet again of the relationship I have with her. My sisters and I have the same motto - go with the humor. We can't buy the mushy, loving cards even though I know my mother would want them. It's just not how we feel about her. It's horrible, but it physically nauseates me

I was moved at your honesty. It takes a strong person to evaluate their emotions and accept what is there. I love the thought of "go with the humor" it's a motto everyone should live by. My mom passed away a month ago and we were the exact opposite of your relationship with yours. You have inspired me with your words, I will use them as a reminder of how I can always improve myself as a wife, mother and friend. I think that as time passes, the positive thoughts will move to the front of your memory as the negative ebbs away. Don't worry about your kids, they just love freely-they don't carry baggage with them. You are so in tune with yourself I know your future husband and family will benefit from your life lessons.

*hugs you and friends you*

My condolences about your mother, and that's great that you had a wonderful relationship with her.

Humor and looking at the positive side are excellent ways of dealing with stress and unfortunate incidents. I just need to remember that more often.

Thank you for kind words.

I don't know the background you have woth your mother so I can't really say anything but I do know that you are a very smart person and that your children will have a great mother, regardless of the people that may not be in their lives.
