I miss my Mother. Her name was Angel. She made me a blanket by hand, the same way, the patchwork wool blanket that I'm wrapped up in now. I do not listen to country, and I'm only 26 so this is before my time. But I come here, this being one of her favorite songs. I can't stop crying. Happy Mother's Day Mama. I need you and wish I could be with you but now I have my own son to be a mama to, or I would be up there with you. *replay

I only had my mom 9yrs and I am 44 now but when i put this song on i still see her pretty face in my mind and feel her arms around me.

Out of all of Dolly's songs, this is probably my most favorite because it is so brutally honest. If you're not moved you don't have a heart.

I'm hoping to meet Dolly some time soon. I have a family member who performs in one of the most popular shows in Branson, MO. Dolly's theater is next door. Dolly spends a few weeks every year in Branson, playing her theater. I hope to use my connections to meet her.

For me it was a hand made school bag made by my mom.That is why I like this song

In other words to feel that you are truly loved means you are the richest reason alive

[Eddy vinny]

love sewn in every stitch - you should try to experience, and feel ,rather than mentalize everything. You are seeking to rationalize and as long as you do that you may or may not understand it, but you,ll never experience it and its better felt than telt.

I understand what you mean - my mom just died unexpectedly at the end of December. This was always one of her favorite songs of Dolly's and it's my favorite song of hers. I'm sitting here with tears running down my face thinking of mom and how many times we listened to this song together. What I love about Dolly is that many of her early songs were about her life - she didn't try to hide her childhood and that's why people love her.

No, for i do not adhere to any specific archetype, nor do i sate my need for expression by procrastinating my responsibilities and dispelling morality for said archetype. Thus, implying 'God's love' is greater than all other types of love is specifically targeting a non-religious community.

Also, i'd avoid using 'nuff said' unless your single sentence argument can't be easily contradicted, unlike yours.

[sunshineuk1965]

because in your worldview there is no place for those who find comfort in ways YOU don't agree with.

Nuff said.

[shadowfax02]

You ruined that with 'other than God's love'

[jahbezzz]

one of the best songs
