I wonder if this was one of my Mom's birthday presents?
Today is her birthday.
This was her last birthday gift
Pinky, posing for a picture. The last present I gave my Mom
She gave me so much over the years.......mostly the undying love of a Mother.
She was my best friend, my travel companion, my confidant.
Tea at the Ritz in London, one of our several overseas trips
I know many people think they had the best Mom in the world. I know without a doubt I did.
She use to tell me the happiest time in her life was when my brother and I were little and
she was home with us.
We never held back saying " I love you"
Normally this week I would have some days off, so we could go on a small trip together, stay at a B&B, buy trash magazines to read and junk food to eat in the room while we giggled. Of course antiquing would be involved in our travels or a trek through a cemetery to find a long lost relative.
Mom, I miss you so today but only because the love you gave me was so everlasting.......

What a beautiful post about your beautiful mom! You are so lucky to have had so many wonderful memories of her, and to have shared trips and adventures. You must miss her dearly. I know I would be lost without my mom. Hope your day is a good one:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute, and what memories you have to treasure :o)
ReplyDeleteWish I could have known her!
ReplyDeleteWe do miss our moms. Mine has been gone since 1990. I miss her every day. A lovely tribute to your mother here.
ReplyDeleteDear Ann,
ReplyDeleteYour heart sings with joy as you recall these beautiful moments. Not only did you have one great mom, but she also had one great daughter.
Ann,
ReplyDeleteI have a picture like that of my mom, on a pony, as a little girl. What a beautiful relationship you and your mom shared. A wonderful gift.
And I think Pinky is wonderful too. She has an adorable round face and a delightful name. I always enjoy seeing her in your posts!
Te little horse picture brought back lots of memories. I have a photo of my son dressed like this on a pony that looks like this about and same age. Probably someone going around making them.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet way to remember your lovely mom's birthday! I'm sure she felt just as lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteOh, Ann, what a sweet touching post about your mom. I do understand about your mom being your best friend - mine is too. I'm so thankful to still have her - she's 88!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a nice post! I'm so glad you have such great memories of her!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Pam
Ann, so sorry about the loss of your Mother. What a sweet tribute to her.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what time you're coming thru on Friday and what time you're leaving-maybe we can meet up at the barn! Hope you have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post on your mom --
ReplyDeleteMy daughter holds the same day as your mom's birthday. I used to have a Pinky too..my absolute favorite cat..sigh. Beautiful post, thanks for sharing your heart with us.
ReplyDeleteLove this post on your mom. Sounds like the two of you were so close. You were lucky that you were able to travel together. Cherish your memories and remember her with a light heart.
