Today = Mother's Day. I lost my mother when she was only 51.
I really miss going home.
Nevertheless: for all mothers wherever they are I wish them a nice day. And hopefully not only just today.

Hi Theo
Mother's Day moves around a bit in the UK being based on the Christian period of Lent (March 10th in 2013) but a little more research shows that many countries observe this celebration of Mothers at varying times of the year -

Your mother did indeed die young, 51 is no age whilst at the other end of the range, my mother is an amazing 97 and today we have tea and cakes at the seaside where she lives.
One thing is for sure, we all have mothers and whether here or not, they will still have a lasting effect on our lives.
