The relationship between a mother and daughter is often complicated and frustrating, but almost always comforting and filled with love. Well, eventually.
I wish I could spend Mother's Day with my mom. But even if she were still alive, I probably wouldn't. She lived a six-hour drive from me. (And let's face it--life gets in the way of what we really want to do.) If you think about it, I'm only a heartbeat away from her. (My last heartbeat, of course.) As much as I miss her, I think I'll stick around a little longer. I like to believe my kids need me as much as I need her.
Happy Mother's Day, Mama!

Vanessa,
So sorry for the loss of your mom. I can tell you miss her lots. You are right, your kids do need you as much as you needed her.
Just take a lil time today by yourself, and take in all the great memories you have of your mom.
We are never without the ones we lost, they are always in our hearts.

I couldn't agree more with your title!
Thanks for trying to make me cry... again :)
