My brother calls her by her name. He's done so for years, and there's a valid reason for why/how that started, but it hurts her feelings. For her birthday a few years ago, she told him that the only gift she wanted was for him to call her "Mom."
I know some people will think this is disrespectful, but it is just the truth. When I read the question I honestly answered aloud, "Dead!" It just popped out.
I still think of her as mom, and call her my mom when talking about her, but when talking to her pictures it is always "Hey Ma" because that is what we called her until the day she died.
She did not care what we called her as long as we treated her like a queen. Wait, she did like the title "Queen Bee" and would strut when we called her that.
It's been 9 years this month since we lost her. We still talk to her daily.
Hugs to all who have lost their moms and/or dads, especially those whose pain is most recent.

I don't watch this show, but I have seen this clip over and over again and I just LOVE it!
My own son calls me Mama most of the time, but Mum sometimes. He's almost 30 and has called me nothing else.
