I've already had a good cry this morning, so I guess what's left is to honor her.
I'll turn to baking. She could bake anything.
Sour cream coffee cake.
Miss you, Mom.

(8,513 posts)My mom died on Mother's Day, technically. It was just after midnight, May 8th, 2005.
I had gotten her a flower arrangement the day before, and decided to give them to her early. She went on and on about how beautiful they were, and told me, "You always give me the nicest flowers." I'm glad I didn't wait until the next day.
It seems like forever ago, and also like just a minute ago.
Hugs to all who have lost their moms.

Thanks for posting this, MissMillie.

(171,604 posts)a card store to get a card for my m-i-l for Mothers Day and realizing I couldn't do the same for mine. I lost it; eyes just started swimming. She's been gone 30 years and I still wish I could buy her that card, think about it every year. Coffee cake sounds good.

(7,212 posts)I had her Mother's Day card ready to drop in the mail (I live about 1,000 miles away) when I got the news. I had it sent overnight so it could be cremated with her.
Sending hugs...
