Hey Mum.

I went to ring you the other night. I saw the lights were on in your house and I thought, I will just give mum a quick ring.

I hate it when that happens.

Mum and Amy July 2008

    Your mum had such a wonderful smile; just look at those eyes! This post caught my eye today, as I too am remembering my mother.

    I’m sure you have many happy memories of your mum as I do of mine, let’s let today be filled with those.

      I feel very close to Mum when I am in my studio, So I have been up there pottering around and talking to her. xx

    The photos of your mum are so beautiful. She certainly looks like a really special lady.
    It’s a poignant reminder to me to appreciate every moment I have with my family and be thankful that I have such a great family too.
    I hope you are okay.

      Thanks Hilary, I am mostly okay. I find the lead up to Mum’s birthday quite difficult and today is just awful BUT tomorrow will be better. Thank you

    It bites doesn’t it?

    I would do that often after I lost my mum and then it would reduce me to tears

    Happy birthday to your sweet mum. I hope she is having a cuppa and cake with my mum

    Much love

      It is that *thud* as the reality of never being able to make that call, hits again. xx

    Grief is such a sneaky bitch. Just when you think she has left, she reappears and digs her sharp bony fingers in your eyes and heart. And I tell both my mother and my father the things I was about to when I remember. Again. It can’t hurt – and it helps me.
    Big hugs.

    Your mum had such a lovely smile.
    I have my own little sadness today, my old father-in-law died last night.
    He was 88 just last Saturday.

    Your mother has the most fabulous eyes on her wedding photograph. So alive and excited for what is to come.

    Do talk to her. I have no doubt she hears. She probably even responds. X

    I too love the look of the wedding photo, but I also love the others. She shares a birthday with my sister and another much loved friend. Another reason to think that day is very special.
    Grief always smacks you suddenly like that…it hurts. Sending love.

    I wish your mum could be 68 and answer your call, Kim xox
