I am close to my mom. She is 84. I cherish that she is with me. It is lovely that you write daily notes to your mom. Remember she is always with you, Sarah. Take care, my friend.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807876444563019161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527249508675423548.post-50669740251206051852020-07-11T13:58:17.153-07:002020-07-11T13:58:17.153-07:00SARAH: The red-hair girlettes said they would ALL ...SARAH: The red-hair girlettes said they would ALL like go live with you and your toys!

Thes...Once again, I'm so sorry about your loss. These are wonderful photos and it's great you found them and have been able to go through them. Her painting is beautiful! (Now I see where your artistic nature comes from. :) ) And yes, that cat photo is priceless, as is the one of your mom and your cousin. What a nice portrait.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527249508675423548.post-47666500264359837122020-07-08T19:47:28.334-07:002020-07-08T19:47:28.334-07:00I am so very, very sorry you've lost your mum,...I am so very, very sorry you've lost your mum, Sarah. <br />That's a powerful loss.<br /><br />She looks absolutely wonderful in this collection of photos.<br />So much life! So much history!<br /><br />A racing cyclist? That's fantastic.<br /><br />I'm especially struck by how gently and tenderly she is supporting that adorable baby, your cousin Nicky! What a squeezable child. Your mother looks like one of the row of tulips.<br /><br />(I wonder what toy she is holding in her hand there. Looks like a knitted dolly, maybe? Irrelevant, but I can't help noticing toys--and how sweet she is holding it.)<br /><br />The cat photo is priceless. One cat doing zoomies, the other flat as a pancake. It seems your family has a special bond with cats?<br />And a flair for art.<br /><br />I love that you are writing your mother notes. What a kind and loving connection.<br />When a much-older friend of mine was dying ten years ago, I told her I'd always tell her things for the rest of my life. Keep her up with the latest going-ons in my life. I've never stopped.<br /><br />She had a good life, and she brought goodness to the lives of others. <br />That's a great tribute, to be able to say that.<br /><br />My condolences.

I am so sorry. I love the photo of your mother with the cat in the window, that is the Mum I remember, with such loving fondness. Your Mum charmed me utterly, I miss her. I, too, talk with her, in my head. Yesterday we made banana bread and ate it with two cups of tea. Much love to you, <br />thank you for introducing me to your Mum and for <br />Christmas, @ <br />Antony's house. <br />One of my best all time memories.<br /><br /> The painting is exquisite.
