Although both women were very different when it came to personality, they were both good Moms for the times they had us. My Mom was an influence, guide and support for my younger life. My step Mom was a very astute lady when it came to dealing with adult children.
So it's a time of remembrance when I look back and take time to appreciate what was done for me and how I was influenced to be what I am today.
Tomorrow, I will be celebrating with my wife and remembering the huge contribution she made to our children's lives.
I also thank and remember my grand children's mother.
So Happy Mother's Day to the active Mom's in my family and thanks for the good times and memories of my Mom and step Mom.
You were truly blessed, Red! Have a wonderful Mother's Day celebration.
ReplyDeleteThankyou. I see you had a great day.
DeleteA nice post Red. I find that so often Step mums have the tougher roll to play as they have to take on all of the difficulties of a real mum, but far too often without the benefits in return when kids are young.
ReplyDeleteThe step Mom and I talked about that and how she didn't get into that situation.
DeleteNice that you got two moms. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteIt was some good and bad because you have to lose one to get a second.
DeleteA nice tribute, she died very young, you only 35, sad.
ReplyDeleteLooking back she was very young.
DeleteA good day to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteNice memories, Red. Having two moms is special; I only had the one, and she died when I was about the same age as you were when you lost your first one. Happy Mother's Day to them both. :-)
ReplyDeleteFor sure, great memories. You're never old enough to lose a parent. I was 68 when my Dad died.
Deletesounds like you were/are blessed, red. :)
ReplyDeleteI am really fortunate.
DeleteTwo great moms! Lucky you...;)
ReplyDeleteYou can make the best of two or the worst of two.

ReplyDeleteWell, let's not get carried away with the nice. I didn't find myself until the mid forties.
DeleteHow lucky you are to have had two loving, caring mamas- and I bet you were a great son. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky but I didn't get my life together until my mid forties.
DeleteA great tribute to both.
