To say that I love my mum.

[Elendon]

I love my mum. She has been a solid person in my life. She is in her 90s and is just wonderful.

I tell her I love her always.

I love my dad, so much. He's an amazing person. I never bonded with my mum and I don't feel much for her at all - just sort of neutral, no more than an acquaintance. It's sad writing it down like that.

I love my granny who was my mother figure.

I absolutely adored my beautiful Mum.

The day she went to sleep forever my heart broke. I miss her every single minute of every day. To me she was perfect and I was so proud to be her daughter.

to all of us. And thanks for my flowers.
Before this awful disease, she was my best friend. There was nothing I couldn't talk to her about. She's my everything.
It also makes me sad for those who don't have a relationship with their mum x

My mum is my best friend and a bloody legend. She helps me out loads and makes me laugh. I speak to or see her every day and I can't imagine it any other way.

Mine is brilliant. We live a long way away, but I phone her most days. I know I am incredibly fortunate. She has also amazed me as she has got older as she is incredibly resilient and helps so many people. Someone once told me, that unless you make a huge effort to avoid it, you end up being like your parent. If that is true, I just feel very glad.

ShowMe Thank you, I was adopted (My blood Mum was young, Irish, Catholic and my blood Dad was a total Walter Mitty character) so my (adoptive but real) Mum was the 1st person to ever show me any love and we adored each other, she went on to have more babies, but our bond was always very special.

I loved my mum so much. She died last year aged 60. I can't believe it. She was such a powerhouse but cancer took her down and there was nothing we could do.

Oh mulberry that's lovely. She sounds amazing.

And to you jennifer.

So lovely to read these, I thankfully have this kind of relationship with my dds.

My own mother however was cold, moody and cruel, so we had no idea what a loving, caring mum was like apart from glimpses of it with other people's mums.

She regularly used to tell me never to get married or have children as that would ruin my life. I believed her until my 30s when I met my dh.

I went on to have 4 dc and couldn't believe the overwhelming love I felt for them! She of course totally disapproved and has never been a warm granny in them, preferring to go on a cruise 3-4 times a year to avoid any christmasses or their birthdays!

So I take my dc out on 'granny days out' myself so that they don't miss out !

You are all very very fortunate to have had beautiful experiences with all your mums, I try and muddle along, making it up as I go and sometimes it is hard because my own experience was so horrific.

Thank you for all these lovely posts, they are inspiring x

I just simply adore mine too!

I love the bones of my mum, but her ways have been quite selfish recently- I feel like there's a lack of trust between us two and I don't know whether she's telling the truth or lying these days. I hope our relationship will be re-strengthen in the future

Lovely thread.
When my Mum is gone no one will pray for me. That really means something to me. She lights a candle for me at Church. When she's gone no one will do that.

I truly loved my mum. She was only 66 when she died, and she had so much to live for. She really did love life.

Yanbu.. tell her every day.. 5 times a day!

I loved my mum so much. She was my best friend and we were so close. She died suddenly in her 50s. She never met my DD and that makes me so sad. I miss her constantly.
To all those with lovely mums, cherish them!
