My little Mommy, I miss her so!

I've been thinking about my mom a lot, because I miss her, and this kind of popped into my head.

My mom loved, and I mean like you love Lex or Clark or Spike or...you get the picture, anyway, she loved Alexander the Great--loved him! Loved Mary Renault's book, Persian Boy.

She loved Michaelangelo and thought the David was perfect if modest in some areas.

She loved Albrecht Durer's portrait of himself, the young one in the white shirt,where he looks like an angel?

She was fascinated by Ludwig II, thought he was a romantic figure.

She adored Leonardo DaVinci, who was also an angelic looking young man.

And they all share something in common, except old Albrecht, I have no idea there...

So, I'm thinking, this slashing thing--genetic?

Gee! I wish she were still with us, she'd get the biggest kick out of this. So, here I am, feeling a little nostalgic, feeling my roots as it were.

Here's to you mom, thanks for being the good influence on me that you were!

I wish they'd told me before she died, so I could have reassurred her, but I'm sure she knows now :)

one night, my mother and I were talking and she worried that she wasn't as good a mother that she could or should have been, and I told her she was the best in the world and that I loved her so much and she was my best friend, and someday I hoped to be as good a mother as she was-and the next day she had a massive heart attack and was gone, two days before my 30th birthday. The fact that I got a chance to tell her how much she meant to me in my life kept me from going completely bonkers, you know?

We're realy lucky, to have had moms like that. I feel sorry for people who never did.

Hey, wouldn't it be funny if our mothers have met up in Heaven and become buddies? It could happen, you know!
It could happen!
Hey, anytime you feel like talking about your mom, or whatever, drop me a line--I'm here! (((((((hug)))))))

Oh. I'm so glad you got to tell your mother how you felt. ((((hugs))))

After my mother died, I used to get nearly irrationally angry when people would bad talk their mothers in front of me. It was irrational because I didn't know the intimate details of their relationship, the eccentricities.

I feel so lucky to have the mom I did. I feel sorry for people who didn't, too.

I will come talk to you about my mother. I love talking about her, and I'm glad I found someone who loves talking about her mom.

(((((hug)))))

Wherever our mothers our, I know they're laughing and enjoying themselves, right? They deserve it! ((((hugs))))
