I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I enjoy your comics every day. I still have my mother – 96 and I do see myself in your strip as autobiographical. You do a great job!!! Keep up the good work. I love it when I can laugh at myself!!!
Jenny, I love your strip. Thank you so much for sharing your mom with us. It is clear in your comic that your mom was a warm and wonderful person. My sympathies on your loss.
I hope my kids take it as well when my time comes. I’m 78, so it may not be long. Still. losing a parent, at whatever age you are, is hard. My condolences.
I’m so sorry. I lost mine in 2000 and it hurt. A lot. My therapist said “The only way out is through” and I just went with the grieving process. So big hugs. Give yourself the time and space you need.
I am happy for you that you got to have your mother in your life for so long. This strip will endure as tribute to her and your wonderful view of life. Rock on.
My condolences also. You wrote a great strip today. My mother was born the same year as yours and will be 90 in January. We’ve been very fortunate; she has a few physical issues but her mind is still as sharp as a tack, and she still lives independently. Even now she’s there for us when we need her, and the older I get the more I appreciate her for it.
My condolences, Jenny. My Mom is getting ready to turn 80, is in good health, but I think about her passing, because it is the one certainty in life. My heart goes out to you, & the strip brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Hugs and my deepest condolences. I’ve enjoyed your strip for some time. It reminded me a lot of my own mother and her friends. Mom died in 2013, and your strip reminds me of the funny things she said and did. I’m not surprised, then, to learn, you used your own mother and her friends as an inspiration.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mother several years ago and it never goes away, but it becomes less painful. You have given your Mother a wonderful life with all of us who have enjoyed what you have shared with us.
My deepest sympathy to you and you handled it so beautifully here….we are blessed to have read all about your mom. Brings back a lot of memories of my dear MIL!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sending you hugs! I started reading your strip when I started working at Hospice. I often share them because they remind us of our patients. It’s easier to laugh with you! Thank you!
So sorry for your loss. I miss my mom. Your comic strip makes me smile. Please take what time you need, but you have an opportunity to keep your mom’s spirit alive, & talk to her. I envy your talent
This was a wonderful tribute. I’m so sorry for your loss. you were so blessed to have your mother for so long. I lost mine when I was only three – it’s never easy no matter when it happens.
I’m sorry for your loss Jenny. Your mother must have been a joy to have nearby based on the character you created around her. And you can re-read your strips again and again to review the good times. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to .mother And for you lending your mother for us to enjoy. Please, don’t retire from this strip. These tributes to you and your mother shows how your mother are loved. May she rest in peace. XOXOXO!
So sorry to hear of your loss. It’s hard when we lose them, and it hurts like the devil, no matter what our age. The good news is in time the pain eases and you’re left with the comfort of all the good memories left behind. Goddess comfort you and hold you safe and warm beneath Her wings. She’ll take good care of your mom until you meet again, in the fullness of time, and you’ll have many new stories to share with her. <3
