Mother's Day wishes

Last edited Sun May 10, 2015, 08:30 AM - Edit history (1)

To all of you whose mothers are alive and still with you, enjoy her immensely.

To all of you whose mothers are no longer with us,

To all of you who never knew your mothers

To all of you whose mothers were "sub-optimal", to put it politely, also

My mother passed away in 2007 and I'll miss her more tomorrow.

eta: My second mother.

Have a good day, no matter what.

I lost my dad in 2000, my mom in 2002. Even now, it's hard to get used to the idea I can't pick up the phone and call them.

To be utterly correct, you should capitalize all nouns (i.e. Tag & Freund), but when you count how many Americans claiming to know English use an apostrophe to form a plural, or say things like "for you and I" and "to you and I," yours is the lesser error by far!.
