I'm called all three names by my three children, depending on what kind of mood they're in.
"Oh Momma." When they are feeling more sentimental.
"Oh Mom." When I've done something they're not too pleased with and usually for general usage.
"Oh Mother." When I've really embarrassed them.
It's more the tone that says it all.
I also wonder when I'm long gone and it's my birthday, will my kids celebrate it anyway?
Over the past 43 years since you've been gone, I know I didn't acknowledge your birth every year. Sometimes the day presses on my heart and I can't let it slip by.
Happy 96th Birthday!

What are you called and does it matter to you? Or what do you call your Mother? Does it matter to her?
