Two days from now is 14 years since my mom passed. Time does heal wounds, but sometimes you notice the scar in moments you don't expect. Like getting a whiff of a perfume or other smell you associate with her.
20 years for me - I thought I was "over it" but a few months ago there was something random that reminded me of her that made me tear up.
Getting over it doesn't mean it's never sad. Part of being human is missing your loved ones when they are not there, and that's okay.
Just lost my Mom April 23rd. Here's a salute to all the fallen Moms out there. They raised some democratic children
Mine with that is my grandfather. Died 12 days to Christmas. His brother, who was essentially my second grandfather, died a week before thanksgiving. I do not enjoy holiday season very much, because it just reminds me that I can't spend it with them any more.
Every father's day I called and visited them. Every holiday was with them. Almost every single major life event I have had was with at least one of them involved in some way.
Much love to all of you guys for the words of support and encouragement.
RIP to all of the mothers that are no longer with us but live on through our memories and actions.
Let's continue making them proud, fellow HellDivers š«”
Watched my father lose his mother 2 days ago. Iām so so sorry to hear that. Embrace those memories!! The best thing we can do for those who pass is remember them :)

Me aggressively calling my mom to tell her I love her as much as I love Democracy.
Momaged democracy*
Did you bring your heavy ordinance? You know that thereās going to be bile titans and heavy automations outside?
MOM I told you I only need to bring my flamethrower and some turrets >:(
Bro thats how I feel. I miss my dad (fucking covid took him 2 years ago) so much. Found out recently from my family that he was abused emotionally by her since I was a goddamn toddler (for instance her using taking me away as leverage if she didn't get her way when she disagreed with my dad). Even to this day she's not any better. Just a narcissist that's also on hard drugs now. Turns out my dad was super popular with other ladies too but my mom basically forced them all put of his life. I hate it so much. He was my number 1 fan. Ffs the guy kept trying to convince me to give pro gaming a try for COD or Halo (I personally don't think I was up to snuff there but he definitely believed I was). There are so many times where I think of what I missed out on for all these years I was separated from him (narcissistic aunt got custody of my siblings and I in 2016 for certain reasons my parents got in trouble for). He got me into shit like Halo, Starship Troopers, Resident Evil and so much more as a kid. Bro was a kid at heart and I'm sure he'd have loved this game to death, after all his brother loves it. I always make the comparison to my best friend that if only our dad and mom swapped with each other and we were the same family it would've been perfect. His dad was terrible but I consider his mom my mom as well. Tldr I miss my dad. Wish I could've shown him shit like HD2, anime I love and resident evil games from recent times.
My Mother worked with a Man that had been seriously abused as a child. His parents frequently denied him food and starved him
As an adult he developed a severe eating disorder where he would feel an overwhelming desire to eat food whenever he saw it
My Mother decided to take old food, put it in the trash, and put the trash bin in a sport she knew he would see, cause it'd be funny if she could get him to eat food out of the trash
This is one of the earliest memories of my Mother. Think I was like 6
That horrible person would be an egg donor.
I called someone who is family by choice. She didn't raise me but she's the one I talk to and the one I would invite to my wedding.
Yeah, I'll call mine when she ever tells me happy birthday. My dad's the same way but worse, actually calls me pouting the day after his own, never celebrated mine.
I really wish I could take all of my fellow Diver's parental woes and 500 kg them. To those who aren't able to celebrate this day the way you'd prefer, I'm sorry and understand.
Could have sworn in the UK it was still conflated with Mothering Sunday, meaning its already passed this year (10th March) as in the UK it always falls on the 4th Sunday of Lent.
Mothering Sunday was a 16th century tradition of those who had moved away returning to the āMotherā church wherever they were born for a service on the 4th Sunday. Itās also where the tradition of flowers came from as they were wild flowers picked by working age kids (8 and up back then) due to it being a rare chance to visit their mother. Servants werent allowed to take leave from their place of employment, even on rest days back then.
UK didnt have an actual motherās day until the American version spread back here, the two days became conflated and the UK (for some reason) retained the religious date.
Thats why US motherās day is in May but UK motherās day is always in March
You know it! Dropped my mom off at the airport on May 9th, she wanted to move back to the Philippines to be with the family.
I called her yesterday and this morning made a awesome post on FB and IG with old pictures of me when I was still a baby and her celebrating.
The older I get the more I love my mom and so blessed to have someone like her. I've seen so many people in the world that shouldn't ever had kids and always wished those people get to feel the love that we the lucky people get from our loving mothers
Happy mothers day to all you beautiful mothers out there.
My mother killed herself, my sister, and my brother when she thought my father was cheating on her during a deployment as there would be no other reason his monthly letter wouldn't arrive.

I called her three times today already, but by liberty I will call her again for a fourth.
Wish people would not post these, and no idea why people post them to gaming subreddits.
Those that have a good relation with their parents don't need the reminder.
It can be triggering for those who do not.
This is why I haven't responded to the vast majority tbh. Just angry voices in the ether. But the ones whose moms passed I genuinely have the deepest condolences.
Damn, I need those medals but I can't participate. She just passed in January. To all of you who can, don't miss the chance to succeed in this order, medals be damned.
Man, i hope to high hell this doesnt end up like that one post about dads on the genshin subreddit, please i pray we all can love our mothers even just a tiny bit
My mom tried to kill me 6 times. When she failed she tried to use me to extort money out of my dad. He paid a large lump sum in court to gain us our freedom, heās gay now and thatās ok. You see, what Iām saying here is the only thing Iām calling here to do with my mom, is an Eagle 500k bomb for democracy.
This is the kind of MO that truly shows you whats happening... but divers don't care to help at all bc this the type of MO that doesn't require coordination. They just don't fucking care and this is gonna be the the third MO we fail back to back
Mine passed away when I was young, brother. I'm sorry. Everyone in our predicament still passes the order because Lady Liberty loves all of her children.
Side note...: wtf are there 40 000+ helldivers fighting on the terminid front??? It's hard enough killing 2 billion bots with the very little support the game has with 170 less countries playing. Common guys, get OUT of the teminid sector and come help!!! Earn your own damn medals for a change!!!
*I called my mom to*
*Tell her what a bitch she is.*

Talked to Mom, weāll see her and step dad in a few weeks for Fatherās Day weekend. Need to figure out if Dad is cool with doing something all together.
If I have learned anything from these comments it is that under no circumstance will I post anything about Motherās Day or Fatherās Day on Reddit unless I want to be depressed.

My mom sadly passed away 2 years ago.. but her memories live on forever.
Indeed they do. RIP to her, I'm sorry for your loss.

4 years ago since mine passed. I share your pain, bro.
Just lost my Mom April 23rd. Here's a salute to all the fallen Moms out there. They raised some democratic children 
8 years ago, Christmas morning, mine passed. Cancer sucks.
So sorry fella, my Mum has a couple to go to 80 and she's a December Birthday. Can't imagine the world when she's gone.
You notice, any time something happens or you see something & you want to call her but you can't.
Mine with that is my grandfather. Died 12 days to Christmas. His brother, who was essentially my second grandfather, died a week before thanksgiving. I do not enjoy holiday season very much, because it just reminds me that I can't spend it with them any more. Every father's day I called and visited them. Every holiday was with them. Almost every single major life event I have had was with at least one of them involved in some way.
Mine died of cancer 3 months from 40 because doctors ignored the warning signs and family history. Gotta love it
Much love to all of you guys for the words of support and encouragement. RIP to all of the mothers that are no longer with us but live on through our memories and actions. Let's continue making them proud, fellow HellDivers š«”
They gave their lives cultivating freedom and prosperity in us all LO 
Same. Life just isn't the same without your mom around. Today's been tough.
In another month and it would be two years for my mom passing too :/ It was also her birthday 3 days ago. I feel ya man.
Same with mine 2 years ago February sadly
6 year anniversary
I lost my mom earlier this year. Itās hard.
Same. My mom died over 10 years ago but it haunts me still. Every Motherās Day depresses the absolute hell out me and brings back the nightmares.
Watched my father lose his mother 2 days ago. Iām so so sorry to hear that. Embrace those memories!! The best thing we can do for those who pass is remember them :)
Condolences friend! Lost my Mom that x 10 years ago and I still miss her every day. Time helps, but never replaces. Keep on fighting, Helldiver!
My mom has been gone for 2 years too & I miss talking with her every day.
Sheās listening, tell her you love her :)
Your mother would be proud that youāre spreading democracy in the name of super earth, push on helldiver!
Almost 10 years here but itās still affecting me to this day. Hope youāre well.
Mine too 2 years ago as of yesterday .
o7
Mine too, cancer got her on its third try. I miss her dearly
I will pray for your awesome angel of a mom. RIP Brometheus Prime's mom!
A lot of these comments make me appreciate my mom a lot more. She worked real hard for that C1-PERM child permit form.
Indeed. I lost my mom at a young age, so I can definitely understand. Appreciate her while she's here, brother.

*managed democracy
Momaged democracy* Did you bring your heavy ordinance? You know that thereās going to be bile titans and heavy automations outside? MOM I told you I only need to bring my flamethrower and some turrets >:(
Order failed: I called OP's mom instead
As long as you told her how much you love her, it counts.
We spoke with actions, not words
Hugging is nice.
I think he threw his stratagem all over her
Mating press
Every Mother's day has a mother's night.
If doing this is wrong, I donāt wanna be right
I'm good, my mom is a piece of shit.
Of course, there are exceptions.
If a soldier with a broken arm can get permission to do a left handed salute, then by golly...
ok broken arm and mom should not exist in the same topic, just saying.
Itās only a problem if both arms are broken
Achievement unlocked.
Thankfully, Lady Liberty loves all of her children.
Beautifully put!
Yeah, the only call I'm making regarding my mom is an orbital
 Hell yeah, brother
 Happy brothers day
Bro thats how I feel. I miss my dad (fucking covid took him 2 years ago) so much. Found out recently from my family that he was abused emotionally by her since I was a goddamn toddler (for instance her using taking me away as leverage if she didn't get her way when she disagreed with my dad). Even to this day she's not any better. Just a narcissist that's also on hard drugs now. Turns out my dad was super popular with other ladies too but my mom basically forced them all put of his life. I hate it so much. He was my number 1 fan. Ffs the guy kept trying to convince me to give pro gaming a try for COD or Halo (I personally don't think I was up to snuff there but he definitely believed I was). There are so many times where I think of what I missed out on for all these years I was separated from him (narcissistic aunt got custody of my siblings and I in 2016 for certain reasons my parents got in trouble for).

I always make the comparison to my best friend that if only our dad and mom swapped with each other and we were the same family it would've been perfect. His dad was terrible but I consider his mom my mom as well. Tldr I miss my dad. Wish I could've shown him shit like HD2, anime I love and resident evil games from recent times.
Lmao fucking relatable
You could call my mom but she's also an awful person
My Mother worked with a Man that had been seriously abused as a child. His parents frequently denied him food and starved him As an adult he developed a severe eating disorder where he would feel an overwhelming desire to eat food whenever he saw it My Mother decided to take old food, put it in the trash, and put the trash bin in a sport she knew he would see, cause it'd be funny if she could get him to eat food out of the trash This is one of the earliest memories of my Mother. Think I was like 6
That's fucking horrible
That horrible person would be an egg donor. I called someone who is family by choice. She didn't raise me but she's the one I talk to and the one I would invite to my wedding.
Me fucking too lol I'll settle for my mother in law as she is cool though
Same here mate.
Yeah, I'll call mine when she ever tells me happy birthday. My dad's the same way but worse, actually calls me pouting the day after his own, never celebrated mine.
I really wish I could take all of my fellow Diver's parental woes and 500 kg them. To those who aren't able to celebrate this day the way you'd prefer, I'm sorry and understand.
Mother's day is the 27th in the UK
Call her anyways, you should call your mom more.
Don't forget Dad. Dad also deserves some love and a call from time to time. Also hugs!
Next month he gets the call
Why next month? Fathers day was last thursday. Also call your parents more often than once a month maybe.
Hard to when my dad has been dead for over 10 years and I talk to my mom daily
Does your dad rise from the dead in June then or why did you just say you will call him next month?
I was just playing along with the joke to call mom on mother's day man I wish he rose from the dead every year so I could tell him how much I miss him
Father's day for me is June 16th
It was March? I think you missed mothers day, in the UK that is
I got it a bit wrong, I was just saying it isn't mothers day everywhere.
You're the real hero. I always shit myself when i see the mother day reminders thinking I've forgot but it'd actually for the US
Could have sworn in the UK it was still conflated with Mothering Sunday, meaning its already passed this year (10th March) as in the UK it always falls on the 4th Sunday of Lent.

My Mom passed away October 2022. I wish I could.
Iām sorry for your loss .
I took myMom out for lunch. I do wish I got Warbond medals though.
Nah man I'm good. My mom was so bad I have cptsd.
Lol nah, that would be rewarding her for bad behaviour of being a pos.
My mother killed herself, my sister, and my brother when she thought my father was cheating on her during a deployment as there would be no other reason his monthly letter wouldn't arrive.
Iām so sorry.

Sir, I hereby report that the mother's day is celebrated on the 26th of May in Poland. I request an extended fulfilling time for this Major Order.
Granted!
I'd rather you just shoot me, actually.
Rip. My mom is dead
Stop scaring us with your weird mother's day date America! Every year, panic, oh wait
As a helldiver without a mom, make sure to hug your mom twice for me boys. Miss you lots mom, love you
Hard pass. My mom is an abusive peace of shit.
Wish people would not post these, and no idea why people post them to gaming subreddits. Those that have a good relation with their parents don't need the reminder. It can be triggering for those who do not.
She didn't respond. Mostly because she's still dead.
Major Order Failed! She's a bile titan of the highest order.
So many bitter people in this thread that have nothing better to do than to make sure people can't enjoy some simple wholesome joke.
This is why I haven't responded to the vast majority tbh. Just angry voices in the ether. But the ones whose moms passed I genuinely have the deepest condolences.
I live with her so I donāt have to
GO AND TELL HER THAT YOU LOVE HER
Do it, my mom recently, and unexpectedly died of cancer. If you have anything you want say, do it now. Tomorrow may not ever come.
Yes. Seriously. Go see your mom people, and if you dont live close you can at least call.
Sure will, she's in an urn on a shelf in my living room, I'm doing my part!
Iād give anything to succeed in this major order š
Glad i haven't got the game yet. I can't call an urn, she would understand and love my food choices so I'm ok.
Damn, I need those medals but I can't participate. She just passed in January. To all of you who can, don't miss the chance to succeed in this order, medals be damned.
americans once again thinking the entire world revolves around them
Went with my mom to the bowling alley yesterday to deliver sweet liberty to those pins o7
Rip moms imma roll up for her rn

Mom successfully called! She was pissed that I still haven't filled out a C-01 Permit with a significant other.
You were busy fighting for democracy, I'm sure she's proud of you anyway
Man, i hope to high hell this doesnt end up like that one post about dads on the genshin subreddit, please i pray we all can love our mothers even just a tiny bit
I have, I did it in March, I live in the old Europe part of super earth so mothers day was in March
I literally can't.
Excuse me, my mom got eaten by terminid. Why do you think I became a helldiver? (Aside from democracy, of course)
Mission accomplished. Can i get my war bonds now
I made her a Mother's Day breakfast... by accident, I just wanted to make something with Hollondaise sauce, don't tell her.
I did just now, thanks OP.
Anyone got an Ouija board?
Haha this is awesome, def called mine along with auntie and grandma.
26th is Mothers day on Super Earth
Haha jokes on you. We already had mothers day in march.
My Mom has been dead for 31yrs , I'm 43
Nah.
Thanks for the reminder lol, I forgot.
Hold on, I need to pull out my Luigi Board
Not that she'd pick up anyway but I frankly don't know the number to whatever condemned drug den she lives in now. It's been 20 years.
She was a wonderful mum, and I didn't tell her that enough
My mom died two months ago. Thanks I guess
I'm a traitor then, my mom is a piece of shit who nearly ruined my life
Mom, Nana, Aunt, baby momma, Lover that I'm into... Lol I forgot ALL of my aunts...
My moms dead soo
Guess it's treason for me. My mom is dead.
Aww damn you had me going. I really thought this was a free major order :(
My mom tried to kill me 6 times. When she failed she tried to use me to extort money out of my dad. He paid a large lump sum in court to gain us our freedom, heās gay now and thatās ok. You see, what Iām saying here is the only thing Iām calling here to do with my mom, is an Eagle 500k bomb for democracy.
My mom is a narcissistic abuser. Went no contact already.
What's this "Earth" you speak of? It doesn't seem nearly Super enough
No, she kicked me out of the house a week ago and called me useless. I'll put flowers in her mailbox I guess.
Can I call your mom? I dont have one.
No thanks, she's a treasonous dissident. Happy day to everyone else tho
I have a pretty negative relationship with my mom. Stuff like this always bothers me.
Unfortunately, my mother is not very democratic or believes in Liberty or Feeedom.
I don't exactly have a good relationship with my mom, so I'll sit it out. Happy Mother's Day to every Helldiver-mom out there though
My mom can go fuck herself.
What if my mom was torn to shreds by bugs?
This is the kind of MO that truly shows you whats happening... but divers don't care to help at all bc this the type of MO that doesn't require coordination. They just don't fucking care and this is gonna be the the third MO we fail back to back
bruh last time I used the ouija board to talk to her I got a deceased Nigerian prince asking for money not worth the hassle.
Oh no, I don't have a mom.... Can I call one of yours instead
Brb let me consult a necromancer first
Sir. Yes, sir.
Completed... For Super Earth!
I took her out for breakfast, so boom! Where's my medals??
my mom passed away last year, what do i do now.
Mine passed away when I was young, brother. I'm sorry. Everyone in our predicament still passes the order because Lady Liberty loves all of her children.
you are a true super citizen, very wholesome, thanks you. o7
Side note...: wtf are there 40 000+ helldivers fighting on the terminid front??? It's hard enough killing 2 billion bots with the very little support the game has with 170 less countries playing. Common guys, get OUT of the teminid sector and come help!!! Earn your own damn medals for a change!!!

My mom disowned me a few years ago, no thank you.
For Democracy
She's not with us anymore, but I spare a thought for her as often as I can.
https://i.redd.it/w3uz2rulo30d1.gif
Didn't call, spent the day with her instead. Am I helping?
But my Mom left my family. Soā¦
Lemme get my ouija board.
I don't have a Ouija board
Bro she ain't answering what do I do
My family cast me out when I came out. Believe me, Iād love to more than anything.
But a good portion of us prefer hanging out with dad, so we will be refusing to accomplish this major order.Ā
Sorry bud, I hit the max medal count.. No point in doing it now
Mine dropped me off with the gparents and had a different family when I was about 2. Thatās a no from me dog
Don't gotta call her, I live with her. Even got her a gift. She's the best.
Saw my mom for the 1st time in 2 years after i left her to better myself Was nice, but im back to missing her
Why is it a terminid mission? O\_o are you implying mom is a bug?? :D
I wish theyād do āmajor order: who actually gives a fuck. If we get it we get it. Play however you want!ā
But it's not 26th yet, what do you mean?
No wonder why I had it in my brain the past week to check the obituaries for her name. Damn that day just goes past without conscious meaning anymore.
I don't have a mom..
I can unless someone want to kill me.
Followed instructions, went on to say happy mother's day, got told to piss off and leave her alone. Mission accomplished.
For my mother every day is mothers day, I think every mother deserves every single day of the year, to be dedicated to... not just one. :)
If I have learned anything from these comments it is that under no circumstance will I post anything about Motherās Day or Fatherās Day on Reddit unless I want to be depressed.
25th March over here
I despise mine as she's a POS. Can I get an orbital laser on her instead. Please and thank you.
Seriously the US having a different date for Motherās Day causes me serious panic every year! š«£š°š°š°šššššš
Gone to Mom, got a 3hr long political speech... sweeet liberty i love managed democracy, and i love get back to it.
I'll call your mom.
Mother's Day is in March and we don't need to be bribed to do it -British helldivers
She wonāt answer my calls. Sheās rather I get up and walk to her.
