At the grocery store this week I’ve noticed people buying flowers and cards with pink envelopes. In years past this might have made me sad, these days I’m just happy that people are celebrating moms all over.
Mine’s been gone many years now, but each spring I remember us tromping through the woods, digging up yellow cowslips to drag home in heavy buckets for mom.
Last week I turned a corner on a trail through the woods and saw this…
…and immediately thought….
…”Hey mom, look at all the cowslips I found for you this year!”
Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day to the best mom ever!

How interesting. I somehow thought you’d celebrate Mothering Sunday on the same day as us – 4th Sunday in Lent. I wonder what prompted your choice of date?

Isn’t that interesting? How different countries have similar celebrations but each unique?

Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day indeed, Dawn. I now have three moms in heaven, hope they are having tea. I could just imagine your own mom’s face when you brought home a bucket of cowslips 🙂

I can’t remember what she actually did with them. But I’m sure it was the thought that counted…right? 🙂

A very special way to honor and remember –
My office mate Crystal lost her mom Easter Monday so today is her first Mothers’ Day without her being her physically – it is difficult for her –
And today marks eight years since The Stroke that took TADN – although her shell remained for five days –
Hugs to all
Phyll and Willow

So sad about your office mate to have her first Mother’s Day so soon. The ‘firsts’ are always so difficult. Hugs to you both.
