Mother’s Day retrospective

First, I recognize this is way too long (but IF you indeed hang-in for all of it, maybe just “skim” those parts imported down-thread, you’ll see why I just could not come to cut much of it, this is very much “Personal” which I’m sharing) and only my most dedicated of followers are going to make it all the way through (that is OK, if nothing I just hope you all read the new/added fresh to 2024 TLB (6 paragraphs) opening parts) and apologies to TLB Staff that will be dealing with putting this piece up)… So, don’t do it (read through) for me, DO IT FOR YOUR MOTHER (what are you an ungrateful Child? LOL, do not make me tell your Mom on you!).

Next, yes, I realize that Mother’s Day was Sunday May 12th 2024… I am actually putting this together on Mother’s Day (May 12th, for publication Sat. May 25th) – I wanted to be “in the Day” and “in the emotions” that would wash over me as my Mother has been gone awhile now and I wanted to see as I revisit what I wrote back then (yes, I am republishing another prior BeforeItsNews piece (from August 13, 2021) titled “RIP: Donna Jean Lenard (Daughter, Wife, Mother, and an example to/for all)” and then even to ruminate beyond that many days to see what I might now feel compelled to input as “updates” exclusive TLB inserts. Yes, as I hope you’re a regular reader of mine, noticed “a pattern” that I do this with several different Holidays/Holydays (if you’re “new” to me here on TLB, please see those other Holiday themed ones (among TLB archives of my posts)).
