However, my problems with Mom, I had wihen I was in my twenties and part of my early thirties. Sometimes, I used to get so frustrated with her, when she would try to tell me what Bert needed to do to prove to me he was a better husband than he was, and that really hurt. But, we grew close again, particularly in the last couple of years of her life. I will always miss her. BUt, I'm somehow glad we were able to get close again.Healing Songhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458879922998986687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440412029515916060.post-18722476552352552902008-02-18T18:12:00.000-08:002008-02-18T18:12:00.000-08:00I think I'm of an earlier generation than you both...I think I'm of an earlier generation than you both, as I am not familiar with the music you mention. I have heard of Jackson Browne, of course, but I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about his music. I'm just old! LOL!<BR/><BR/>I am very happy for you both, that you have or had such wonderful relationships with your mothers. That is something to treasure. I am sad to say that my mom and I weren't close, as we were very different and I think became easily frustrated with each other, but in the last number of years, we were able to express our love for each other verbally and that is something that I am very grateful for. I have had some bad memories shaken loose by her death but I think that between now and Mother's Day, in particular, I'll try to focus on the positive.Suzanne Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852489169178668615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440412029515916060.post-27051305497961639402008-02-16T17:28:00.000-08:002008-02-16T17:28:00.000-08:00Hi Annette,I agree with you.

She isn't ready, as she doesn't know the Lord, so I continue to pray that somehow, the Holy Spirit will open her eyes to the Truth. Unfortunately, Mom and I never cooked or worked in the kitchen, as you and your own mother did, and I wish we had. We've discussed doing that should she and Dad come down here for the winter next year, though, and that'll be so good. I want to do more things with Mom. I want to watch TV with her, shop with her, cook with her, and, hopefully, show her, by example, the love of Christ,and when necessary, I'll use words to communicate His love. I also want to spend more time with Dad, listening to music, having philosophical conversations, and at times, not speaking at all, just enjoying one another's company, as we so often have done. He rarely says "I love you," but I know it, because he communicates it in so many different ways. He's special.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052607091057340003noreply@blogger.com
