  so sad but so true, your story makes us appreciate what we still have, it will make others think too. thanks for sharing.

Your story gave me goosebumps…..Sometimes we don’t see how important something is until we no longer have it. We all must cherish our loved ones warts and all as none of us know how long any of us have! Nice story.

Lovely, I fortunately had all my grandparents up until I was over 30, and now at 47 still have a Grandmother and Grandfather, Mum and Dad have been married nearly 50 years and Grandma and Grandpa have been married over 70 years, I never knew my husbands parents, but I am also fortunate in that I still remember having 2 great grandmothers for many years into my teenage years. It is lovely when family is so extended, it is not something that is seen a lot these days.

Its sad to lose people you care about. My grandma died on boxing day a few years ago and ny great grandmother earlier this year (she was 98). my mother and i do not speak and i dont see her mother (my nan) either (both of those last 2 are for the best sadly)

Enjoy your Mothers Day with your Mum & make sure there are many memorable laughs & hugs to cherish.

  This is excellent advice; always love and cherish those we love while we can!

It is very sad when you lose any loved ones. When I lost my grandmother I felt like I had lost the only connection I had left to my dad (he passed when I was eight years old) there was no one to tell me stories of his youth and she missed out on seeing her two grandsons who our first child has my fathers middle name she would have loved that.

It’s so sad when loved ones pass. A reminder to enjoy every moment we have together.

I am so sorry you have lost so many loved ones. I only have my Mum left and we know she is getting worse every day due to cancer. As I write this she is in hospital for the 3rd time since Feb as her legs give way even with her walker so we have been watching her go down hill. I really do feel your loss

I am so very close to my maternal grandma and I really couldn’t imagine my life without her in it. We have a special bond. She calls it a cord – and often jokes at times she wishes it was a cord that she could cut lol. She is interstate and I miss her very much. Last Christmas she told me it was probably the last time she would be well enough to come and stay with my son and I. I agree I would much rather buy for more 🙂

Mothers day is bittersweet for me. I miss my mother a lot.

I will be making a donation to Breast Cancer Institute of Australia as a gift for my mum who is a survivor 🙂

My mum passed five years ago and my mother in law passed last year but we still buy cards and a bouquet of flowers for both of them and just have them on the side just so they know we still think of them and that Mother’s Day is still a special day for them both even tho they are no longer here.
