mom
the void the sweetest word in the world


(especially when you're 19 and you get called that by a 30-year-old who acts more like 5)

MollyGoLightly When I was little, and my mom was feeling worn out, she would say:

"Let's play a game. Let's pretend that you're the mom and I'm the kid."

daxle why is it that every compliment you have ever given me sounded like an insult?
why is it that everything you give me is in return for something else, something you won't tell me about until I have failed to give it at the proper moment?
why is it that you'll never believe we can live without you?
it turns out that I am a much better person when you're not around

Rhin My mother is the sweetest woman I Know! Growing up, she never failed to tell my sister & I, that she loved us. She showed this, by telling my sis. and I this, many times throughout each day, along with showering us with hugs and kisses all day long. She has such a soft, kind heart, and truly looks out for the underdog. Even now, she is this way. She is the best kind of mother. She is always there for me, but never interferes in my life, with opinions, concerning the mistakes I still make. She just let's me learn my lessons on my own. I always thought that once I moved out on my own, that I would have to answer to no one. Well, while that is true, I still very much care what my mother thinks, and nothing makes me feel worse, than seeing disappointment cross her face. I have this superstition, that to do this day is as strong as it was, when I was a child. When someone is leaving a conversation with me, or my home, someone whom I love, or am loved by, I have to tell them I love them, and I have to hear it from them. If this fails to occur, I am beside myself with worry, that something will happen to them, but mostly with the fact, that I wanted them to know I loved them, and for those to be the last words they heard from me. Well, my mother has only forgotten my rule once in my life. She was angry with me, one teenage day, and left for my grandfathers (2 hours away), without this conversation taking place. She drove an hour, then turned around and came back. She knew she would find me, sitting under the Whipporwill, staring up the hill, all day long, until I seen her truck pop over it, if she didn't. Don't you just love her too? *sniff* She is so amazing! I can't imagine life without her, and I can't even think about the day, when that will become a reality. I'm crying now as I write this, just thinking of that. I just can't think about it! I love you Mommy dear! 001213

oscar would be turning 64 on tuesday if she were here

one the one hand, i love her for the things she taught me to appreciate, good music, a good book, and all the little nuances of the kitchen

on the other hand, i resent her (and my dad) for the fact that to break free of their overprotectiveness, i had to spin a web of lies and lead a double-life so intricate that it took me until well after they were both gone to salvage what resulted when my worlds collided

happy birthday, mom
and again, goodbye

and please forgive me that i left my faith in your custody along with the memento_mori i placed at your side during the memorial service

kinkazoid i just recently realized that my mom hates me. i dont know why i never noticed before. every time i knock on her door to her room to ask her a question she yells at me and tells me to go away. in the morning when i wake up she will have breakfast made for my stepdad and my sister. and if i ask where mine is she will say "you slept to late" then she'll tell me to go wake up my sister for breakfast. she'll slap me if i even take one peice of bacon. i swear its like im not even there. everyone thinks my mom is so nice cuz she is, shes nice as hell to everyone except me, i didnt even do anything to her shes a bitch. 010612

Toxic_Kisses I told her I love her twice this morning b4 she left for work, I guess she just didn’t hear me to reply back. You know I never realized just HOW much I love her till I became preggerz, every one haz their faults, my mom iz no exception, but I still think she's more perfect than any other person I've ever met.
She's the only person I can truly depend on and trust.

TalviFatin I think someday I want to be called "mom". I want to be a good mother. A loved mother. A respected mother. But not right now. Someday. Someday a mother of two sons. 011013

Annie111 i can talk and talk and talk and she will still listen with interest, with feedback.

understands completely everything I do, because damnit, i am a good kid, i don't cut myself or do hardcore drugs or listen to loud, and i'm still here and still smart even though they have dragged me half way around the world eight times.

I love her so much. She is amazing.

ClairE I am so sorry, kinkazoid.

I am just like her. I took the good parts out.
And the bad, of course.
Everyone likes her but she takes things out on me.
And everyone else.
Eh, my mom and my dad are both equally good.

I love my mom.
I heard Sharon_Olds read about her own mother. Dying. It made me cry.

Zoe my sister and i are having a surprise b-day party for my mom tomorrow. she'll be 50! 50! i can't believe she is so old. she still is skinny and active. i love my mom. we don't get along very well (she's extremely religous) but she has sacrificed everything for me. 020531
...
Jacer I'm sorry you made yourself cry.
You're the person who's always stood up for me, but this time I needed to stand up for myself. I needed to stand up to you. What you did doesn't make me feel nearly as bad as acknowledging I'm partly responsible for your pain. If I stand up to you though, maybe you'll quit, maybe this will be the last time. I can bear this immense pain but for a day, and no longer; with it I should hope to not be burdened with either pain ever after.

pipedream i want a million kids.
my mom is amazing.
i love her when she yells at me because she wants me to be the best i can.
i love her when she lets me sit on her lap, all five feet six inches 115 pounds of me.
i love her when she pretends to be gruff to hide the fact she is proud of me.
i love her when old songs remind her of her mother.
i love her when i overhear her telling someone on the phone about something good i did.
i love her for laughing at my jokes and for seeing through me like i was a pane of glass.
i love her for being my best friend, making me exist and giving me her crooked fingers.
i can't imagine life without her.

Vicki The pain runs deep. I cannot begin to forgive unless Iam a little bitter first. Why? Why did you choose a MAN over your childern? This Mother's Day I think I'll send you the card with little emotion and that expresses to you for a nice day insted of the heart felt love I have for you. Mabey you will hear me cry through the hallmark symbol on the back ...or mabey you'll see the dis-organized hand writting as a symbol of my life without you..... I MISS YOU MOM...Please come back to me 030331
