I love my mummy

This thread has made me feel quite emotional!!

My Mum is an amazing lady... she can infuriate me like no other person on the planet but I absolutely adore her. She's not a huggy or overly emotional person but unconditional love just rolls off her. She will move heaven & earth to help my brother & I - she's a real lioness. We almost lost her to cancer too, so I definitely had a serious reality check a few years ago & make an effort to regularly let her know how much I appreciate everything she has done for our family.

I'm shortly going to be telling her that she's gonna to be a Nanna - am very nervous about it for some reason - but once she gets her head round it, I know how excited she is going to be & I feel so grateful that my child will have her in their life.

I loved my mum with all my heart and soul but sometimes I wasn't nice to her which she didn't deserve as she was one of the most selfless loving people that ever lived.

I miss her every day of my life and not a day goes past that I don't grieve for her. I lost her 16 months ago and if I could just hold her and kiss her one more time I would give up all the time I have left on this earth.

We didn't always get on and we had some almighty rows when i was a teenager but once i moved out we get on so much better. She's always been an amazing mum and i love her to bits.

Thank you OP for starting this thread...

We lost my Darling Mummy in Feb 2011, and there isnt a day I dont think about her...

She was my best friend as well as my mum... and yes we squabbled about things - but who doesnt!!

I tell my dad I love him every night before he heads off to his quiet end of the house...

I think its very important to always say you love family, and I follow mums example and never go to bed on an argument...

I'm a mum like prolly the most of you I sometimes find my mum a pain she's getting on in years and since my dad passed away she moved and finds it difficult living in a style that he's nt apply with My own girl ..... Well, when she was born and I saw her for the first time , my stomach leapt with pride and love , even now though we don't always agree and she's been an angel to me these last years, I still get the feeling all over again ....

Until I was in my 20s I don't think I made a particular effort to tell my family I loved them.

Since I grew up a bit and started working I did it a bit more as started to appreciate how well they had brought me and my sister up.

I lost my little one almost a year ago, we were in hospital for a whole week and my family camped out in the Costa coffee day and night to stay by our side and were amazing in the months that followed where we were in quite a dark place - it makes me emotional just thinking about it. Every day since I make a point to text or call my family to tell them I love them (even my stinky sister who I fought with every day as a child!).

I also tell my wife as often as I see her how proud I am of her and how much I love her. I never know when I will not get the chance to again so want to make sure if I was ever whisked away that they knew that someone thinks about them and appreciates them every day.

I love my mum (and Dad too) - they would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them.

My mum was a tower of strength through all the wedding planning and she helps out with everything although is always afraid of getting too involved and interferring despite the fact i have told her numerous times that i would just tell her if i thought she was interferring!

I love my mum and dad too. They're not perfect and they drive me daft at times (as I'm sure I drive them daft too), but they are human and taught me everything I know about life. I had a lovely, happy childhood and when I think back to those days they're in every memory. I wish we didn't live so far away, but we do talk every few days. I dread the days when they're no longer here.

Love my parents, I was a dreadful teenager and quite horrible to my mum especially but now I,d say she's the person I talk to most other than my DH. She drives me batty at times because she thinks everything through and is very logical and calm while I am hasty, tempestuous and jump into things without a moments thought... so I drive her mad too :-) I'm just like my dad and my husband is like my mum :-). Anyway I've been very lucky with my parents and I really hope my children say the same about me when they are adults... I reckon with so many of them at least one will like me right?
