On Your Next Birthday...

Blog Posted:10/26/2008 9:54:00 AM
Enter Text<FONT size=2> <P><FONT color=#000080>...Spend it with your mother. If you're short on time or live out of town, give her a call. Tell her thank you. Thank her for giving birth to you. If it wasn't for mom, there'd be no birthdays to celebrate. My mother passed away over thirteen years ago but I never stop thanking her for giving birth to me. Whether it's a visit to her grave site or taking a moment of silence, I always say..."Thanks, mom." After all, birthdays are "the real" Mother's Day. </FONT></P></FONT>

Hi Milton, I am fortunate that I still have my mom and I tell her everyday how much I love her. My dad has passed away and I still miss everyday. Warmest wishes to you and yours in this wonderful Festive Season. lainie

What a beautiful message...one to warm any mother's heart! As a mom myself, nothing means as much as a phone call, or a hug from my adult "kids". I never stop thinking about my own mother, who I lost many, many years ago. She never saw her grandchildren...but I tell her about them in my thoughts. (wrote my poem, 'Butter Toffee,' in her memory.) I was one of the lucky ones...I have wonderful memories. Bless you for the reminder. ~ Carrie

Amen, Milton. I think of my son's birthday as a celebration of the day he was born even though he doesn't want to have birthdays anymore ... smile ... My mother died in 1970 a broken alcoholic at the age of 52 ... now that I have been blessed to live almost 14 years longer, I practice acceptance and forgiveness each and every precious day and am grateful to have found the sobriety she never sought. My birthday is January 30th and I know that on that day I will thank her in my heart.

Milton, you are a mother's dream. What an absolutely beautiful thought. I talk to my mom every day, several times a day, even though she passed about 8 years ago. Did it while she was here, still do it now. An eternal bond, without a doubt, as a mother's love for her child is the strongest love I know of. Is it your birthday? Well, if it is, happy, healthy wonderful birthday and many, many more. No doubt your mom's spirit is soaring and so grateful for such a loving son. Love, Shar
