I hear ya. This really spoke to me. My mom did EVERYTHING, too, even though my dad was still involved (not a lot, but sounds like a lot more than yours). Although now, my kids barely know him at all. I think that almost hurts more.

But yay! for your mom, and all the other moms out there that buckled down and brought their kids up right, despite the odds. And I should’ve had my mom walk me down the aisle, too.

Maybe you should write your mother a letter sharing this sentiment to her. It may help you capture a moment that is lost, but one that would celebrate who you mother is to you.

Your Mom sounds like the kind of Mother that every woman aspires to be. It was really great to read what you had to say about her as I am jaded and bitter when it comes to parents… in short mine suck donkey balls. Thanks for sharing!

Beautifully written.
Maybe your mother DID ‘give you away’…maybe she chose to give you to your father , so he could have you for that short time, for that short walk down the aisle. I am sure she holds no grudge.
And yes, from all that I have read of your blog, your daughter will be so proud of you, always.

What a wonderful post. I too wish my mother had walked me down the aisle – along with my father. I was too stuck on tradition to think of it before hand.

I know what you mean. My brother walked me down the aisle and it was a very happy thing. Fleas last blog post..Well, It's Not Coleslaw ...

My mother walked me down the aisle on my wedding day, while my father was somewhere in the audience. Just her and I, holding hands. I wouldn't have changed a thing! gorillabunss last blog post..i'd leave my husband for him
