Today marks a year from when my sweet Moma passed. (I know that Moma is spelled either momma or mama. But, this is how I've spelled it since I was a kid. To me, it's my own special name for my mom)
Some of you know that last year my Moma had a debilitating stroke and months later passed.
My Moma, Dorothy, was an incredible woman. Her list of accomplishments in education, business and volunteerism is lllllooooonnnnggggg. While those things are important and speak to her character and work ethic, it is her most precious role as Moma to me and MiMi to my kids that I feel are most important.
Her love for me was unconditional and unending. Her love was the perfect picture of God's love.
Gosh, my heart is raw and I miss her.
One of the best compliments from one of my daughters: "Moma, you smell good...like dirt." |

So sorry for your loss. She has left you with some precious memories. I spell it Moma too.

Catherine.....I'm so sorry that you lost your Mom. I lost mine to a stroke 4 years ago. It's very difficult to get over the pain. Remember that it is okay to feel sad on important dates, like holidays and anniversaries. She was a huge part of your life and remembering her during this times is not only appropriate, but important to the grieving process. I am praying for God's comfort and grace in your life.

| My mother has been gone for 15 years. The older I get, the more I miss her. There is no one like a mom. |

The anniversary of these sad dates are hard to get through. My mom's 3rd anniversary of passing was on Thanksgiving (dad died 10 weeks before her). It was a bittersweet day for me. I know how blessed I am, but can't help missing my parents so much that it hurts. I hope you had many happy memories to get you through the day.

That is a beautiful testament to your mother's life. Losing your mom changes a woman. You never stop missing her. Mine passed ten years ago and it is just recently that I have stopped thinking, "oh, I should call Mom."
Enjoy your days and keep your mom's memory close. It is the best compliment you can pay your mother till live by her example.

Yeah we all miss our Moms. My Mother (and we always called her Mother) died two years ago at age 95. Still living on her own and still the boss. One very classy Lady. I miss her!

My little sister always spelled "moma" the way you do. We need our mom's as children, as mothers, as grandmothers and the list goes on. It's true what Carole said about missing her as she gets older. There are so many events that remind us of our mothers. I honestly think they are still with us. I can feel my mother close sometimes like when I am holding my grand-daughter and I can feel her heart beating against mine...my mother's beats along with ours and I think that will be a forever thing in my life.
I'm sorry for your loss.

My Moma died over 30 years ago. It still feels like yesterday some days. Hugs Catherine.
