Motherless Daughters Community Group
For any daughter who has lost their mother, whether through Death (if it's been one day ago or 40 years ago) or Abandonment, (i.e.-drug abuse, mental illness, physical or emotional abuse, etc.) and is working through the grief process. This group provides unconditional support and understanding from women who have also lost their Moms and who truly care.
My mother collected Angels. I brought the one home with me that I looked at for days as I cared for her which was in her room. I had one here at home that I had already bought for her and then she was gone. Last year after Christmas, I found an Angel on sale and immediately bought it and then it hit me with a stab to the heart that mom wasn't here for me to give it to her. So this year, I decided I would buy another angel "for mom". This is something I want to do each year now in memory of mom. These angels will sit with the one that I brought home. Same love for my mother, same mother, but new traditions that I must start. Anybody else starting new traditions to honor their mom? Lots of gentle hugs, Sharon

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That is so nice that you are doing that for your mum!
Lvoe and hugs

That is a wonderful thing to do! I sure you will have a beautiful collection! I have not started a "tradition" but after my Mom passed, I had this angel by "Willow Tree" that was given to us called the angel of health. It is nice so I looked into the collection, and I purchased the "angel of remembrance" It truly gives me peace. I have it next to a photograph of my Mom and nephew in my kitchen. I figured that is the room I am in the most and it is right next to my sink, so I can see it all the time. I did recently did purchase two silk butterflies with sequins on them and have them hanging in my kitchen. One is light green, my Mom's favorite color was green. The other one is purple....my favorite color.
On 01/18/08 was the last day I spent with Mom, he 55th bday. I lost her on Feb 9th 08..
I gave her a pewter humminbird. Barried her with it. I got one for myself I hang in my car.
So this xmas while giving my family gifts I gave my dad a gift to open that was for mom. A porcline hummingbird. In a nut shell we cried, and dad said that was so special and the best gift of all. Made me some what happy to know he knew I still thought of her... always.
So hummingbirds are the new tradition and when summer comes I will plant necter flowers so they come to the garden like they always did for mom.
