When you lose your Mom when you are 17 years old and then nurse your Dad through a progressively terminal illness for 4 years when you are like i was 24 to 28 years old at the time for me Dad and you have to give up your own life for the priorties that matter.

After experiencing what i have bearing in mind i am only 32 now you get to learn the respect for your parents deserve.

im sorry to hear that carlingman, im sure it was/is very hard for you to cope with it, especially at such a young age........

i feel most people tend to forget there parents, what they have done for them, push them out of there way, seem to make them look like a hinderance as they get older, thats saddens me

My Mum got hers about 2 weeks ago, she wanted a desktop charger for the phone I gave her, got a spare battery too (Cost about £15), She will also be getting a card and possibly flowers if I can get any tomorrow (The day before mothers day is a frightening sight if you work on a checkout )
Hoping to get them after or before work (Before preferably), Dont think I will have time after work as we are all going out to celebrate my Sisters 19th B'day (Mum & Dad included) we're goin for a night on the town in Liverpool so that should be fun.

My sis and I will be cooking my mum sunday lunch and taking her grandkids round to visit.

As its my first Mothers day im sure i will get flowers or chocolates or the like but id much prefer an uninterupted nights sleep! She's my little bundle of joy and i love her to bits but she's really loud and doesnt sleep a lot

that must have been hard for you you were so young this is what makes people relise how important your parents are to you

There are a couple of people on this forum that i know have lost their mothers prematurely over the past year (if there's ever a right time ) and my heart goes out to them this weekend.

I'd be lost without my mother..... my beautiful, all caring and generous soul.... never tired of being there for me, always accepting, fending off my childish tantrums with a shrug, healing my pain with her warm arms..... and knowing that she will always love me and worry for my safety wherever i am and whatever i do...

To those people that don't have their mother in their lives anymore..... i don't envy you and never want to feel the pain that you've been through and may still be going through, but will have to...... one day. I just sincerely hope that it's not soon. I will be thinking of you guys too on sunday and cherishing my mother even more, making more memories to cherish and hold close.

Make it a special mother's day..... they deserve it.

Brill post Kink and I'm sure will make eveyone appreciate their mum even more tomorrow. No matter how bad things get mums are always behind you defending your corner, offering unconditional love and fussing. I'm just off to buy my pressies now but no amount of cards, flowers or pressies can ever really sum up how much a mothers love means.

Sorry, this also includes dads too (me being still a Daddys girl )

Kudos to you all for the thoughts and kind words.

Yes it was hard and still is on certain times of the year i.e. mothers day, fathers day, birthdays etc.

And a big Kudos to stuartbe as the loss parents is inevitable but to loose a child at a young age but must be unbearable.

But life as they say moves on it doesnt get better with time but it helps somewhat.
