In reply to the discussion: Well HB to me [View all]Tree Lady
(12,923 posts)23. Happy birthday...
Let mommy go....my mom year before she died, she was up and going till 96, looked at me on Mother's Day and said, "Are you going to wear that?" In a very judgy voice looking down at me. My daughter in her 40's laughed nervously. I have always dressed a bit bohemian and tried to wear my nicest pants and button down shirt. I have never worn make up and other stuff like my mom.
Let's just say, to the end it was challenging but it did end. I wish we had better relationship but you can't change people.
So live for today and the people in your life that give you joy.
