Mother\u2019s Day<\/a>\u2014it is often a day of reunion, joy, and family connection<\/a>. However, for some, it can be a difficult occasion to get through. Whether we\u2019ve lost our mother, are not in contact with her, or perhaps, never even knew her, sometimes we get a sign that lets us know we are still connected. These seven profound stories highlighting the mother-child bond<\/a> can inspire all of us, especially those missing their mothers today. <\/p>\n

    One Last Surprise <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Mama passed away in December 1997 at age 93. Two months later, on a cold gray February morning, four of us sisters gathered at our childhood home<\/a> in Clarkesville, Georgia, to go through her things. It took hours to divide her treasures into orderly batches. We piled them on the beds, the dressers, even the window ledges. But we still hadn\u2019t tackled Grandfather\u2019s big black trunk. It was more than a hundred years old and sat at the very back of the closet. <\/p>\n

    The trunk\u2019s hinges groaned as we raised the heavy lid. We pulled out old coats, prom dresses, baby sweaters, all things we remembered. An old, yellowed sheet was spread across the bottom of the trunk. Was there something beneath it? I pulled back the sheet. We all gasped. <\/p>\n

    See the last surprise Brenda\u2019s mother had for her and her sisters.<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      The Woman in His Dreams <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The dreams<\/a> were vivid, he said, like sensory overload. They always took place amid lush, green hills. A soothing tune would drift through the dream, like a movie soundtrack. And, there before him, Charles would see a woman in a chiffon gown. Her smile made her glow. With her arms outstretched, she\u2019d call for him: \u201cEddy!\u201d A nickname only a few people knew. \u201cThe woman had curly brown hair and deep blue eyes,\u201d Charles said. \u201cI felt like I knew her voice too.\u201d <\/p>\n

      Charles would go toward the woman. But he always woke up before they reached each other. By the time he was 11 or 12, the dreams stopped. Whenever life got hard, though, Charles would think back to the dream<\/a>. And the woman in the chiffon gown, whose feet never touched the ground. \u201cI always wondered who she was,\u201d Charles said. <\/p>\n

      Learn why the woman in Charles\u2019s dreams was not so unfamiliar after all.<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

        A Tribute <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        It\u2019s been three years, Mom, and your old neighbors still don\u2019t understand your garden<\/a> in Greenville: lush southern magnolia; evergreen gardenia; dirt brimming with native pollinators, snakes and bees. You made it an Eden. I\u2019ve done my best to care for the plants and animals you left behind, but folks here think it\u2019s overgrown, too wild. Then again, I\u2019ve always felt safe in wild places… <\/p>\n

        Your family\u2014Swedish immigrants who\u2019d learned to coax wheat stalks from the earth\u2014learned everything they could about South Carolina, but even to them, you were peculiar. Maybe because you always believed that nature<\/a> didn\u2019t just serve us, but was part of us.<\/p>\n

        Robert shares the important lessons he learned from his nature-loving mother.<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

          A Final Visit <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Through years of ups and downs, all the insults and erratic behavior, I\u2019d never been able to cut Mom off completely. I felt bad for her. I prayed for her. Asked God to heal<\/a> her. But I\u2019d finally found my breaking point… I\u2019d already given her too many chances. I knew that she desperately needed help, but she needed to be the one to want to change. I couldn\u2019t fix her. I needed to take care of my own family first. <\/p>\n

          I hadn\u2019t communicated with Mom since that day. At least not until the experience I\u2019d had the night before. I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that what I\u2019d seen and felt was more than a dream<\/a>. <\/p>\n

            The Ceramic Bunny <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            I\u2019d lost my mom, Anita, to ALS when I was 24 years old. Her diagnosis came out of nowhere. Her decline was rapid and brutal. She went from fine one day to slurring her words the next. Coughing, choking, muscle weakness and weight loss quickly followed. I\u2019d watched my strong, selfless mother\u2014a pillar of our church community\u2014wither away. Now I feared some illness<\/a> would take me away from my own children, just as ALS had taken her from me. <\/p>\n

            On the drive home, a sign caught my eye: GARAGE SALE TODAY. On a Thursday? I love garage sales and flea markets<\/a>. You never know what you\u2019ll find. <\/p>\n

            Learn how a garage sale find turned out to hold the very message Daryl needed.<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

              An Unexpected Gift <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Mother lived with metastatic bone cancer for a little more than a year. At the end of her life, she was no longer conscious. Her wish was to be discharged to my cabin for hospice care<\/a>. The night before, I moved all the furniture and cleaned the hardwood floor to prepare for the delivery of her medical equipment. I was honored to care for Mother <\/a>in her last days but saddened knowing I\u2019d soon lose her. As I cleaned, I prayed for the strength I knew I\u2019d need to usher her from this life to the next. <\/p>\n

              The next morning, two burly guys lifted the sofa to move it, making room for the hospital bed. \u201cWhat do we do with these, ma\u2019am?\u201d one asked. I looked over. <\/p>\n
