I do miss my mum! She was the glue that kept my family together. I haven't had her for more than 30 years. She had Alzheimer's disease and died when she was 67.
My husband's mum died when he was 7. His father was an evil man. After he died, my husband's nasty stepmother told my husband that his father believed that he was the reason his mother had died!!!! How did he think babies were made???
So, my son has never had a grandmother. I miss him and his wife too because they are such a long way away. They both sent me Mothers' day wishes.
