Mom's Christmas flowers-2011

The month of December is 'getting on with it,' and I'm falling behind with everything - even more so than usual! 

  I decided I needed to get Mom's Christmas flowers out  today, before time completely got away from me!  Charles was happy and willing to take me, and we had an enjoyable time together, though, of course, it was shadowed with some sadness.  Still, I felt better, having brightened that little spot up for this holiday!

~Love and miss my Mom~

♥▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬♥ஜ۩۞۩ஜ♥♥ஜ۩۞۩ஜ♥▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬♥ There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven. Spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug, kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again, or even a text. One more chance to say I LOVE YOU. Copy and paste in remembrance of someone who is not here.

Love You, Mom!

Mom's Christmas flowers

 (post from Junie's Place-Dec 6, 2010)

Today my daughter, Tina, and I took flowers for our Ma-Ma.  It's always a bittersweet event-bringing Mom flowers but I always will-as long as I'm able.

  Joy, my sister, was unable to come with us because of a medical appointment with her husband. 

Tina and I also did quite a bit of shopping today. I appreciated her taking me out because I really do not like driving a lot.  We had a fun day Christmas shopping -and just being together for a few hours! Oh-and we had both breakfast and lunch out-lol- We really made a day of it!  :)

Here we are at home and later with Mom's flowers.

Love,

Thinking of Mom~2008

Thinking of mom ~ 2008

Mom has been gone, now, more than 5 years...and I still think of her every day! And she's on my mind more than ever as this Mother's Day draws near!

This was one Mother's Day we had together ... Mom was almost always with us on special days!

I miss you, Mom!

I wrote this in memory of our sweet Ma-Ma!

It's been posted a few times here but this is for Mom so I'm putting it here again! The roses I saved were the last ones we could give her!

Mom’s Last Roses

These are Mom’s last roses.

I kept a little part

of all the roses given,

from every grieving heart.

I handled them so gently

and dried them - as you see.

I found the perfect basket-

arranged them carefully.

I found the sweetest ribbon,

and made this fancy bow-

attaching it, expertly!

It had to be - just so!

It had to turn out special,

and easily convey…

how much I do still love her

and miss her every day!

These are Mom’s last roses.

They’ll always be a part

of all my memories of her

and the sorrow in my heart.
