And I hope it makes them feel good when I tell them it back.Michelle Houston/Houston Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046927781480479979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-30360098543712462512010-05-16T02:37:53.708-04:002010-05-16T02:37:53.708-04:00Oh, see, that just upsets me, and it's so unne...Oh, see, that just upsets me, and it's so unnecessary. Why limit your glad wishes to only one mother? It's not "YOUR Mother's Day", it's Mother's Day. In fact, one of the most meaningful cards I've ever received was on my first Mother's Day after my first child was born... from my brother. I was so touched that he thought of me and will never forget how that made me feel.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241398166886138241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19277306432117699912010-05-15T10:29:45.931-04:002010-05-15T10:29:45.931-04:00Ash, Craig -- Indeed.

I've had people tell me that only "our" mothers should be told that, and that it does them a disservice to tell someone else that we love them like a mother.<br /><br />They just don't get it. And I am so sad for them, and truly, I pitty them. They are missing out on so much love, focusing on only who birthed them.Michelle Houston/Houston Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046927781480479979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-5442340336439629672010-05-15T10:26:08.651-04:002010-05-15T10:26:08.651-04:00Garge -- With my mother in law, things are still s...Garge -- With my mother in law, things are still so painful that I really can't see modeling a character after her. I do try to be more like her though. She loved to laugh ... oh man, she loved to laugh. Sometimes she was the only one who got her jokes, but she didn't care. <br /><br />Plus there is the fact I really don't know how she would have felt about my writings ... so modeling a character, even a secondary one, after her might not be the best idea.<br /><br />I do have a portrait of her on my wall of pictures leading upstairs, and when I start to miss her too much, I go and sit on the stairs and talk to the portrait. Silly I know, but it helps.Michelle Houston/Houston Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046927781480479979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-16576494726723735742010-05-15T03:46:44.217-04:002010-05-15T03:46:44.217-04:00How very true.

She's been the subject of a couple of my blogs here, and inspired a character for a story too. Have you ever found a way to write about your mother in law in a story?<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.com
