if you are lucky enough to still have your Mother here with you…
you have the chance to tell her again how much she means to you…
as we know all too well
life can change in a heartbeat…
Mr Magpie and I certainly are grateful to have had our precious Mothers and Grandmothers in our lives for a long as we did…
“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” ~Honore de Balzac
and one more quote because my mother in law and Mutti both had a great sense of humor…
“A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.” ~Author Unknown
this was a pre scheduled post as I am recuperating from my second eye surgery…I am looking forward to getting around to visiting everyone as soon as my vision clears up oxo

If I could have one wish today ti would be to have my darling mother Grace by my side once again….

What a lovely post to open today. My husband and I have been looking at and choosing a shortlist of readings for the interrment of my father-in-law’s ashes. We have both been tearful, with a mixture of emotions but are happy with the shortlist for my sister-in-law to look at. The images are beautiful, I especially liked the flowers, I could almost smell them. I hope that you and your family are enjoying the blessings of life.

Happy Mother’s Day dear friend. I don’t feel quite so bad being so late getting here, knowing you are recuperating at the moment.
What I would give for one more day with my Grandparents, both Grams and Gramps. I still miss them so and I know you miss your mother, too.
Let’s hope you were treated to a special day, even though it was possibly shortened. BTW, I love that collage with the heart. It tore at my heart!
