“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”.
(Well, it used to actually be mothers...)
Moms are Santa’s helpers in the biggest way
my mom was ironing and starching my dad’s police uniforms while he was living a double life and cheating on her... all to make sure my brother and i had a two parent household...
God bless you mom...
burn in hell dad...
I miss my Mom. I think about her more often as the years pass. She passed away 48 years ago. She was only 59.
My mother turned 95 on the 23th . She has bladder cancer , which hasn’t spread , and some other issues , but is a tough old woman of English / Irish decent ( Tuthill / Hand ) and is hanging in there . My father was a jerk , to put it simply and mildly . I remember one time he gave my mother money to go Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve . Somehow she managed to get us some of the things we wished for . He never watched us open our gifts . I can still see him walking through the living room , where the tree was , dressed to the nines on his way to stand in the back of St. Joseph’s Church and then head on down to the Knights Of Columbus bar to drink . Never even managed a Merry Christmas . Ma did all the shopping , wrapping , etc. for SIX kids . 2024 will probably be her last . Sadly , I can’t see her as I am in Japan and she is on eastern Long Island living with one of my sisters who is taking care of her . Love my Ma !
This is our first Christmas without her. She died in August just a couple months shy of her 100th birthday. A spitfire to the end.
She loved Christmas and made it special for us with hardly any money. Dad’s income as a country preacher was meager.
Here in Indonesia, National Mother’s Day is on 22 December. Not sure why.
I miss my mom she’s been gone a long time but I still miss here
My Mom was too young when she passed away 62 years ago when I was 11. I have loving memories of her but not as many as I’d like to have. I love you, Mom and Dad.
My mom’s father passed away on Christmas Eve in 1950. We would raise a toast to him every Christmas Eve. Mom passed away a year ago, and now I raise a toast to both of them.
I thought that Mothers Day was for that and Christmas was to think about Christ….but what do I know.
