Look who came to visit this weekend!
It was actually a pretty crappy weekend weather wise, but the wonderful company made up for it.
I just said goodbye to him, so now I’m sitting here writing with tears running down my face.
Not only am I shedding tears (read: sobbing uncontrollably) after saying goodbye to the amazing man I’m so lucky to call my husband, but also because every where I look today I’m reminded that its Mothers Day.
Which then reminds me of the wonderful woman that is missing in my life, and the person that I think about just about every day.
![mom[1]](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_P-ofW-b3u1g/S-cA66eJikI/AAAAAAAAE2s/kaFLzQNOquI/s1600-h/mom%5B1%5D%5B2%5D.png "mom[1]")
It makes me sad knowing that I’ve lived longer without her, then the short time I had with her.
And what I really wish is that I could have got to know my Mom as a person, and not just as the motherly figure. According to my many, she was witty, funny and outspoken. I’ve been told many times that “You’re just like Mary” which makes my eyes well up with tears, but at the same time, also makes me beam with pride.
Happy Mothers Day to my beautiful Mother.
I hope that I’ve made you proud. xo

I know you've made your mom SO PROUD. What a lovely tribute to her. I know what you mean about how nice it is for people to compare you to her, but wish you knew that for yourself.
Big hugs for you today xo
Your mom would be so proud of you. And she definitely lives on in you. *hugs*
Except for the awesome husband part, I could have written this post.
Nothing more to say than that. Sending big hugs.
((hugs)) Your mom would definately be proud of you.
I know how hard it is saying goodbye to your hubby, we are a military family and it never seems to get any easier.
Do something nice and pampering for yourself today, you deserve it!
I'm sorry you can't spend time with your mom now. She really would be proud of all that you have accomplished.
Glad you had fun with your husband. Sorry he had to leave again! Give yourself a good cry, then workout like crazy! It always helps me relieve stress!
Love you girl. *hugs* xoxo
It's pretty apparent to even strangers like me that your mum must have been a lovely woman-one only needs to see what a vibrant gal you are with a real spark that draws us all in to know the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree.
May you feel her spirit and know her love always.
Respectfully, a caring stranger.
I have a hard time on Mother's Day too Amy as mine has been gone since I was 16...very bittersweet for sure, but I'm pretty confident in saying that your mom would be very proud of the lady you have become!
I completely agree with the Anonymous poster!!
And your mom would be so proud of the person you have grown to be.
I almost lost my mom to cancer this past year. I know you are feeling pain today, but I know that she is looking down on you and smiling at all that you are doing for yourself.
Aw, that was extremely touching. She'd certainly be proud of you, and it's lovely that others can see part of her personality in you.
She was beautiful - the picture looks like she was very happy, she was glowing.
Hugs.
I think it is awesome people can relate you to your mom..you still have that bond regardless of time.
Amy, I know exactly how you feel. I lost my Mom 15 years ago and every Mother's Day is so difficult for me....Yesterday I was a mess all day. They are watching over us and ever so proud of the women that we have become today.
Ironically, my Mom's name was Mary also and everyone says just how much like her I am. It's amazing for me to hear that, if I could be half the woman my mother was, I'd be consider myself very lucky.
Hang in there and know that there are others who go through what you are going through.
Yes Amy, your mother would be so proud of the woman you've become.
You're beautiful inside and out, your talented, strong, inspirational, bright, funny, witty and a wonderful friend, wife, daughter, aunt and sister.
Love to you.
such a beautiful post! I'll have to do some more reading (darn!) to hear the story about your husband. I'm sorry you don't get to see him often. I hope you are feeling better after a good cry. *Hugs*
and I don't know how that comment was added w/o my blogger account. Sorry. :)
Aww! I'm so sorry about your mom:( You're keeping the family traits going though obviously with your great outlook on life an bubbling happy attitude. I hope you realize how special you are.
That was so touching. ((HUGS))
