For those without mothers

by Lady Lee in

jw
friends

mothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.

for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.. for others our mothers are lost to the borg.

in fact, we may never have had the opportunity to celebrate a mother's day with them.

Thank you, Lady Lee, for such a heartwarming as well as heartwrenching thread. Hugs to all of you. I, too, lost my Mom in 1994 to Ovarian Cancer. She was only 48 and I was finally pregnant with her 1st grandchild. She managed to see an ultrasound I had, but she was gone several months before my daughter was born. I will never forget something she said to me when she knew that this time around, there would be no "remission" as there had been several times before.

She said, "Leslie, if I am not here when that baby comes, I will be that baby." In so many ways, she is "that baby." I see her smile. That same sparkle in her eyes, I see in my childs. Her little mannerisms mirror those of Mom's.

Here is one of my fave pictures of Mom with 3 of us (of the 4 kids.)

And another, more recent one:

Thanks again, for sharing all of your stories and allowing me to share mine.

Should I send wedding pics or no?

by Billygoat in

i've been thinking about esmerelda's post about her daughter being the flower girl of a jws wedding and not knowing about it.

then someone else posted about how they didn't know when their daughter got married.

(can't remember who...) it got me thinking...

Nikita

Andi, I agree with Dansk (even though that was his "666th" post .)

It is difficult, I know, in my situation, it is with my brother. I haven't seen him in several years and the last time I did it was very hurtful to me.

Recently, I had some new pictures of my daughter taken and was weighing out should I send him some or not, knowing that it does open up that door to more hurtfulness. I did email hime some and I think I will snail mail him some. I haven't heard back from him but I guess in some small way that is a good thing!

I wish you peace about which ever way you decide.

it was chocolate with green frosting and sprinkles.

Thanks for all the replies!

Sandy, yeah, that is irony isn't it? I began to lead a "double life" shortly after I had graduated hs. Too bad, it didn't start sooner!

Bittersweet, that just seems unbelievable! Glad that you are making up for it now!

Andi, you go girl! I know that you will make an awesome mom. I feel like my daughters life will reap the benefits of the mistakes I made-does that make sense? Lol

(((((((Undercover))))))))) I immersed myself in books and writing growing up. But, I was fortunate enough to have a few good friends at the hall and a few outside of the hall (which I eventually managed to alienate with my jw attitude.) I am glad that with the passage of time, you are finding it getting better.

Neon, wow, what an awesome story!!

LDH, I so feel for you! I agree, it would have been a nice experience to relate to my own child.

Also taking a break...

by TresHappy in

i am going to take a break from posting here for a while.

hopefully, it will be a short sabbitical.

i've got a lot going on in my life, and although coming here has been positive and upbeat for the most part, i am having some marital problems i want to sort out so i can get on with my life.

Nikita

Wishing you all the best ((((((((TresHappy))))))))

Rm215, yes, they are so irretrievable. In my own case, I was my own worst enemy, as I don't know that our Elders would have been as hard on me as I would have been on myself! Does that make sense?

Spice, I wish I had come to my senses before the highschool years had ended! I'm glad that you did!

My sadness is more for the fella and how I treated him, than for me.

Thanks for the replies!
