Happy Mother's Day.....


Most of you know I don't usually get too personal on my blog, but I really wanted to share a few memories of my lovely Mum with you. Here she is above with Aimee, pre red hair :) on Graduation Ball night and with Dave, I think it was on one of my birthday celebrations. She was adored by all of her grandchildren and thankfully got to meet her first great grandchild before she passed. She was a tiny dynamo with a huge heart, miss you Mum. If you're lucky enough to still have your Mum with you, treasure her and give her a big hug from your Aussie blog mate :) Have a wonderful Mother's Day, take care and stay safe...p.s. Aimee's making me a special dinner for MD, yum,can't wait.....

  6. Oh Grace, this is such a lovely post! Happy Mother's Day to you and I'll pass on your wishes when I bring Mum flowers and pressies tomorrow!

    P.S.: No, I've never had any coffee at all. Or Tiramisù. Or coffee éclairs. Or anything coffee flavoured... Hard to believe, eh?

  7. Have a good day Grace - lovely memories of your Mum. I forgot that it's Mothers day everywhere but the UK on Sunday (we have ours a few weeks earlier). But I had my Mum over for dinner tonight!

  14. That's tender, touching and beautifully depicted. Sadly, my mother died about nine months after Carolyn and I, her first child, were married and never saw any of her grandchildren.

  17. I lost my mother fifteen years ago. Mother's Day inevitably brings a lot of memories to the surface--always the best ones. Enjoy your MD with Aimee--I'm celebrating with my son Collin. No grandchildren yet....

  18. A very nice tribute. We will be spending the day with Julie's mother, and will take lunch over to her grandmother, who is in her 90's, but is not in condition to leave the care home. I hope you inspired some people to take advantage of their mother's companionship before she has passed away. I think of my late parents every day.
