A Mothers Day Lament
This archived discussion is "read only". » shannon415 - Mother's Day Hi Renie,What a beautiful and moving story this is. It makes me remember the time I saw a ghost. Though the ghost didn't speak to me, it was quite an surprise. Happy Mother's Day, Renie. May you have a wonderful day on Sunday! Shannon -- posted by shannon415 » Sunbear - Mother's Day Lament Hi Renie,Sorry that all that stuff happened to you in the War. I know it is with you constantly; you never forget. One of my best friend's first memories are of hiding out in the hills of Greece during WWII, as her family was jewish. She grew up in fear though she did not loose any family members thankfully. Thanks for sharing your painful story though I am glad you had such a close relationship with your Grandmother. Best wishes, -- posted by Sunbear » Renie_Burghardt - Re: Tears In response to message posted by Sue59:Hi Sue, thank you so much for your kind words on my story. I was very close to my grandmother, and I guess because of not knowing my mother, it left a permanent void and wondering about her. Mothers Day is kind of sad for me, although my own grown children and grandchildren always remember their "mom" in a special way. For that, too, I'm grateful. -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » Renie_Burghardt - Re: Mother's Day In response to message posted by shannon415:Hi Shannon, wow, you have to tell me about your experience with the ghost, sometime.

I wish I could forget about it, since it was such a long time ago. Thank you so much for visiting and the nice words. I'll be over to read your laterst article, soon. Renie -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » pennywhitting - Re: Mother's Day Lament War can cause so much sadness Renie. My Dad grew up with his German grandmother even though his siblings lived with his parents. He always asked, 'Why do I live with you Grossmutter?' and she always replied, 'These things you need not know.' He was still asking that question until the day he died.Take care.

In response to message posted by writinfool:Nancy, your kind words are much appreciated. That vision, on that day in 1954, was the only one I ever had of her. Or maybe it was a dream. But she did have a message for me, in either care. Thank you for coming by, my friend. Have a wonderful Mother's Day! Renie -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » Lynford_D_Turner - Mother's Day Hi RenieAll of the good mother's out there should be very happy to share the love and remembrance of your personal story. Anything I could write would be shaded by your experience. Mother's are very special! Happy Mother's Day Renie!
