Originally Posted By Labuda She greatly contributed to me having a VERY happy childhood. She's a strong person. She occasionally sends me little cards or notes via snail mail to let me know she loves me and is proud of me. One bad thing I have to point out, though - despite my best efforts, she doens't check Snopes before forwarding rumors via email! LOL

Originally Posted By sherrytodd 1) When I have a problem that I can't go to anyone else for, I can depend on her to not only help me out, but to also keep quiet. 2) She's always there for my son whom she loves dearly. 3) She lets me know how much I am valued, by her and others, even if the others don't say so.
Originally Posted By DlandJB My mother passed away in 1994, but I can still answer this easily... 1) She was the most optimistic soul I have ever encountered in my life. Always positive and centered. 2) She loved celebrations, parties, holidays, family gatherings, God, fireworks...anything that celebrated life and loved ones. 3) She did not cottle us, but gave us both roots and wings. And never failed to tell us when she was proud of us. I miss her every day.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 Oh man, I serious do not think I can name just three things. I'll try. 1. Her integrity. She is unflappable in her morales, ethics and faith. She astounds me in this regard. 2. Her kindness and generosity in every aspect of her life - her time, her money, her home, her faith, her food. 3. Her sense of humor and ability to have fun in most any situation. My mom is just a rock solid human being!

Originally Posted By Ursula My mother is selfless and would give her shirt off of her back to anyone in need. I could tell you multiple fun stories but my favorite one is at my friend's wedding where my mother dropped to her hands and knees and hand-sewed the bride's wedding dress skirt hem ALL THE WAY AROUND (inluding the train) as it fell out about ten minutes before the wedding. Nevermind that my mom was in her best suit and heels, either. My mom knocks herself silly trying to not play favorites between my sister and myself. She even remembers to the penny how much she spends on birthday presents and tries to match it between the two of us each year. My mom is adventurous and would travel to anyplace, anytime at the drop of a hat.

She's energetic and in great physical shape for her age. (Actually, she has a recent sports-related injury, and she's finding it very difficult to follow her doctor's orders to rest and take it easy for a while.) 3. We're very alike, in terms of temperament and personality. When I'm down, she understands and can sympathize. When she's down, I understand and can sympathize. When we're both down, we go out to eat.

Stubborn is a word I'd use to describe her now. I know she loves/ed us although she never said/says it without prompting. She was and always will be the queen bee. OK, I'll stop now, is it obvious my good memories are being taken over by negative ones.

Some of our best times have been on our trips there together.
