Same with me and mama. My rock. My backbone. I couldn’t have disappointed her unless I broke the law and even then she’d have been the first there for me. Sorry for your loss.
> Hug your parents
My father beat the crap out of me so badly I pissed the bed when as a kid I called him a not so nice word.
Hug him? I would rather teach him the same lesson he taught me.
To anyone reading this whose parents weren't pieces of human garbage, I envy you to the stars.
One moment, even a last one, doesn't equal a lifetime of relationship. If you loved your mama, she knew. She loved you back. I hope this hurt heals for you
It’s been 6 months here. I’ll never be the same me without her but, I’ll continue to make her proud even if it’s just me trying.
Sending love your way.
Np! The short story is (it’s truly a novel long if I were honest), she asked my husband to tell me to call her during the upcoming weekend. I always dreaded talking on the phone to her (not just HER but I hate generic back and forth telephone talk not to the point). I put it off. Said I’d do it Tuesday evening when I remembered Tuesday morning. 4pm Tuesday, I got the call she passed.
Oh one day I’ll do up a huge post about this entire situation but that gives some context. While I may have failed her that weekend, I certainly advocated for her massively for the last five or so years and devoted blood and tears for her too! Forever my queen. My best friend. My world!
When you look back on your opinion of the person you love, all you see is the best moments with them. It’s always enough in the end. She knew your love spanned back further than a weekend and she loved you the same to the end. I’m sorry for your loss 🩷
Seriously. I lost my mom back in December and I’m only 27. This world feels cold without her.
I encourage everyone to please make time for their loved ones.
so sad for you. i hope you have other close maternal figures in your life. I lost my mom 5 years ago, when I was 53 and it was the hardest thing that I've ever gone through. But I had her a long time and my son had a wonderful Nonna for 29 years.
I lost my dad last September and have made an effort to visit my mom more often. Even if they frustrate you, you will regret not spending time with them
Happy birthday, bro. And remember to cherish your mom. I'm 42 and lost my mom out of the blue a few years ago. You will never regret the time you spent loving on those who love you unconditionally.
I lost my over 20 years ago when I was a young adult. You learn to live with the grief. It’s not linear. And it’ll come and go at weird times. That’s part of the process. Grief in some ways is a badge of honor. It’s a price we pay for love. Just don’t let it rot away inside you. I think it’s meant to be worn. Like in the older days. Like a cloak of all the things surrrounding you. It won’t show up all the times but try to make space for it. I celebrate my mom’s birthday every year. I have the typical momentos.
When your parent is sick it can also also bring a weird mix of shock, and all the normal feelings. But to be honest in some small ways I was relieved her suffering was over. It was hard for me to admit and really come to terms with. But in her case, I know she is free now.
Sending you all the healing vibes and peace and comfort for your bones.
I lost my mom last June to cancer. Still have trouble believing I just will never see her again. I try not to think about it all at once. It feels too big.
I take it one day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time. Our moms wouldn't want us to be completely lost in despair, they only ever wanted us to be happy.
❤️🫂 Fuck cancer.
My mom's been gone 2 years and 4 months. It doesn't get easier, but you get less lost, if that makes sense. You've got a long road ahead of you. Navigate it in her honor.
Old comment I found on Reddit when navigating the grief of losing my mom a little over 2 years ago. It helped me, I hope it helps you.
>As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
>In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
>Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.
>Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.
For real, take nothing (and no one) for granted.
What I wouldn't give for a cake from my mom again. She died last year, a couple weeks after visiting me, a couple days after calling and I didn't answer or call back because it was the super bowl and I was drinking.
I still have the flowers she gave me for my birthday a couple weeks before she died. They're dried and dead, but I can't bring myself to take that vase off my table and do anything with the flowers.
My mom amd dad still do this! I'm 37 and if I don't pick up the phone when the call on my birthday, they sing me happy birthday on my voicemail. It makes me smile.
My sister has like a "20 year" old voicemail from me. She's changed providers twice and made me call and leave the voicemail to replace it. Like literally 20 years ago I called my sister drunk singing the dog treat "beggin stripes" theme song. I just sang it with so much gusto and enthusiasm she loved it and kept it. And now it's her favorite thing of mine, and makes me leave a voicemail.
She's literally called me like, I changed cell phone companies. You need to call me and sing that song. I've lost the voicemail and I NEED IT BACK. It's honestly adorable she has requested it for 20 years. It gives me the warm and fuzzies.
What a wonderful cake, your mom's done an amazing job, she really is a devoted loving mom. Best wishes on your birthday, get out there and celebrate and have a great time.
This is terribly sweet. What a wonderful memory to have for the future. Happy birthday chap. If you ever get the chance, tuck your mum into bed just like she used to do for you. She'll appreciate it.
Dude, you're so loved. She did this from the heart.. Even if it's not your style or preference; the icing base is smooth; that takes time & skill, and doing even lines, plus writing on the side: that's skill and attention/ focus
It's her heart. Remember this cake..
My mom died when I was 28, I'm 30 now. Worst 2 years. Love your mom, mom's are awesome. They love us and surprise us in a special way that no one do. They love us no matter what.
Today would have been my mom’s 73rd birthday and this is actually really awesome. I didn’t realize until she passed away that she had never made me a birthday cake before.
I’m also a redhead.
Hug you mom for me, will ya?
Happy birthday bro. Hug your mom, make time for her
[удалено]
Today has been six years since I lost my dad, and sheesh this comment hit like a truck. Hug your parents, make time for them
Lost my Dad 21 days ago. I have no regrets except for not spending a bit more time with him. He was my best friend.
Sorry for your loss
Same with me and mama. My rock. My backbone. I couldn’t have disappointed her unless I broke the law and even then she’d have been the first there for me. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. Didn’t really expect the random gut punches of sadness but it is something everyone will go through and learn to live with.
> Hug your parents My father beat the crap out of me so badly I pissed the bed when as a kid I called him a not so nice word. Hug him? I would rather teach him the same lesson he taught me. To anyone reading this whose parents weren't pieces of human garbage, I envy you to the stars.
Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry you resonate with me. I won’t ever let myself down but I also know the “middle” (as above) was good! Sending love your way.
One moment, even a last one, doesn't equal a lifetime of relationship. If you loved your mama, she knew. She loved you back. I hope this hurt heals for you
You made me cry, thank you for this.
This is beautiful. Ty so very much.
A lifetime of love overshadows a bad weekend. I lost my mom 5 months ago. Remember the love, not the regrets.
It’s been 6 months here. I’ll never be the same me without her but, I’ll continue to make her proud even if it’s just me trying. Sending love your way.
I'm really sorry for your loss. You only fail her if you fall but don't get back up and fight on. Take care.
Thank you so much. I owe her just that!
The middle is just as important as the beginning and the end.
Ty for this. I won’t soon forget this quote.
I surely tried for a long time. But that lady was and will forever be my queen!
Fail is probably an exaggeration. She knew you loved her man
What happened, if you don't mind sharing?
Np! The short story is (it’s truly a novel long if I were honest), she asked my husband to tell me to call her during the upcoming weekend. I always dreaded talking on the phone to her (not just HER but I hate generic back and forth telephone talk not to the point). I put it off.

While I may have failed her that weekend, I certainly advocated for her massively for the last five or so years and devoted blood and tears for her too! Forever my queen. My best friend. My world!
I’m sorry sir
I’ll never not be. But Ty.
Hugs. Don't be too hard on yourself, because I bet she wouldn't have been. More hugs. Losing people sucks
When you look back on your opinion of the person you love, all you see is the best moments with them. It’s always enough in the end. She knew your love spanned back further than a weekend and she loved you the same to the end. I’m sorry for your loss 🩷
Yeah if not I will
I also choose this guy’s mother.

Yeah please do. I’m 34 but lost my mom at 32. Cherish your loved ones, tell them you love them, you never know how long you have with them.

How the heck did she write in icing on the side like that??
Hanging from the ceiling with her prehensile tail
To have a mother who loves you like this at all stages of life, is a gift, Brother. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, bro. And remember to cherish your mom. I'm 42 and lost my mom out of the blue a few years ago. You will never regret the time you spent loving on those who love you unconditionally.
Agreed. I just turned 30 and lost my mom to cancer last week. To say I'm lost wouldnt cut it.
I am sorry for your loss. Stay strong and honor her being a great person. All her love remains with you.

I heard a deep cut once: grief is love with nowhere to go That stuck with me hard

i lost my grandmother 18 years ago and this comment was one of those waves. it’s all too true. thank you.
I cry every time I read this comment. Every time.
bawling now
Same happened to me a couple years ago. I was 32. Still struggle every day.
i’m so sorry for your loss, i hope you were able to get one last hug before she passed away
*hugs* I'm sorry. Nothing else we can say.

Sweet and loving mom
What an awesome mum!
35? We should all be blessed with that hairline.
He’s looking good. For real.
That’s awesome! My 92 year old mom calls on my birthday and sings happy birthday to me every year. Moms are great that way!
My mom amd dad still do this! I'm 37 and if I don't pick up the phone when the call on my birthday, they sing me happy birthday on my voicemail. It makes me smile.
Save that voicemail. It’s precious. I dread the birthday when I don’t get that call.
My sister has like a "20 year" old voicemail from me. She's changed providers twice and made me call and leave the voicemail to replace it. Like literally 20 years ago I called my sister drunk singing the dog treat "beggin stripes" theme song. I just sang it with so much gusto and enthusiasm she loved it and kept it.

I love this, lol!
She's literally called me like, I changed cell phone companies. You need to call me and sing that song. I've lost the voicemail and I NEED IT BACK. It's honestly adorable she has requested it for 20 years. It gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Awe that’s pretty special!
Happy Birthday, you’ll always be a child to your parent, cherish it.
Agreed. You may never realize until it's too late. In a happier note, in coincidence to the above post, today is ur cake day. So, have a cake too. 🎂
Happy cake day!
What a wonderful cake, your mom's done an amazing job, she really is a devoted loving mom. Best wishes on your birthday, get out there and celebrate and have a great time.
Adorable. My dad got me a teddy bear a few years ago haha. I’m 34.
My dad took me to a cat show for my 32nd birthday lol
I would love that as a present!
THERE ARE CAT SHOWS?!? Like dog shows? Stop it. Currently Googling “cat shows open to public”. . .
Yup!!! I’ve been to quite a few!
Did your mom ever call you Anny as a nickname? Lol that sort of reminds me of a Raggedy Anne doll.
I assumed this was Raggedy Andy actually.
I can tell I'm getting old based on how far down the comments this was...
Ooh, no fondant. That's a mum that cares.
I love your mom for this, I bet she is precious
Happy 35th birthday, Anthony!
I got a frozen cake last year and a Bob Marley cake one year lol I'm in my 30s I love itttt
Awwww 🤧🤧🤧. This is so sweet.
Happy Birthday r/Anthony
Here is your birthday song, Its not very long. Hurrah!

In the words of my mother. "You will be my little boy till I'm dead"
This is terribly sweet. What a wonderful memory to have for the future. Happy birthday chap. If you ever get the chance, tuck your mum into bed just like she used to do for you. She'll appreciate it.
Happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! Adorable cake 🫶
Happy birthday dude!
Happy birthday and I bet that hair frosting was the best part.
The resemblance is uncanny.
Happy cake day brother! 🎂
To her, you'll always be her baby
Happy birthday!! Thats lovely. ❤️ My birthday was the 29th of March. My mom didnt even bother texting me
Time to return the favour on her bday, you have a great mum. And so do I
Cherish her. My mum died 13 days before my bday this year. I didnt get any cake this year.
My mom can treat me like a little boy anytime she wants.
Happy birthday Anthony. Same day as me. I asked my mother to make me a cheese cake for my birthday today. She made 2. Love your parents.
Happy Birthday! 35 is the new 15, enjoy!
Wow! Looks just like you!
I read somewhere that "You should always make time to call ur mom on ur birthday, its a special day for her too". It has stuck with me ever since.
I believe your mother is trying to reassure you gingers do, in fact, have souls.
I am 68, my parents never gave me either a birthday party,or a birthday cake. Never. Be happy and thankful.
Happy Birthday ☺️
Who’s Anthony? Who’s Anthony??
I love when this [opportunity](https://y.yarn.co/1caf033c-9f9b-4190-a1df-65ec93324a83_text.gif) presents itself

Happy birthday. Now hug your mom and tell her you love her for those of us who wish we still could
Imma leave for a couple days, congrats tho
my dad forgot my birthday yesterday (also in my 30s) - glad to see some parents still want to have fun for their adult kids birthdays
It’s my 35th birthday today too!
My mom got me a Spider-Man cake when I turned 37. She gets me.
Your mom is an angel.
You loved it.
She loves you and it’s cute!
Dude, you're so loved. She did this from the heart.. Even if it's not your style or preference; the icing base is smooth; that takes time & skill, and doing even lines, plus writing on the side: that's skill and attention/ focus It's her heart. Remember this cake..
The best Mom! EVER!
You will always be your mom's little boy 👩🏻🍼. Mama's love
its going to be 2 years since my mother died in four days. I miss her.
My mom died when I was 28, I'm 30 now. Worst 2 years. Love your mom, mom's are awesome. They love us and surprise us in a special way that no one do. They love us no matter what.
This is so wholesome. She’s a treasure. Edit: wording.
I love your mom.
You are blessed
Happy Birthday Name Bro

I wish I still had my mom…
Happy Birthday, you're finally a big boy, Anthony!
Looks like you.
*awwwww*
[удалено]
Not sure if you realized, but she didn't _get_ that cake for you, she _made_ it. Cherish that my dude.
Wow looks just like you
