I came across this photograph yesterday.. it was taken over 20 years ago.. on a beautiful summer's day .. under the apple tree in my parent's garden..
This sudden discovery.. brought back a flood of memories.. of moments shared with my beloved mother.. a day of laughter and smiles as we played Trivial Pursuit under the shade of the tree..
I have many precious memories of my mother... she left me with a wonderful legacy.. a happy childhood filled with a constant, unconditional love ...I would give anything to return to that summer's day to share some more ..
To all mums on their special day...
Happy Mother's Day Mum...xx

Your mum will be there, thinking of you,I am sure of that.

Hello Michèle
A very touching post. How wonderful to have rediscovered that precious photograph and for it to bring back all those wonderful memories.It is clear to the reader how very close you felt and still feel to your Mother. I agree with Sal about your Mother being there.

Happy Mother's Day to you Michele, enjoy your day. Lovely words (and photo) of which I whole heartedly can relate to. You have lost not just a Mum but a very best friend too. x
Oh Michele, this made me cry. I treasure every day I have with my mother and with my children, they are so precious.
Your card was just perfect, thank you, my Mum loved it.
Big love to you xxx

Your post coincides with my tribute to my own mother. She passed away 14 years ago on Mothering Sunday. I just didn't realize the British significance of the day back then. She, too, left some wonderful memories.What a loving tribute to your mum.
This is a very moving post Michele - it looks as though a really fun and precious moment was captured in the picture. Great memories. Emma x
How fortunate to have had such a wonderful mother who gave you such a precious childhood...Mums are so special....my heart goes out to poor Jade Goddies boys who are so young and lost thier mummy today...of all days.....
A lovely heartfelt post!
Thanks for sharing it!
Love to you,

Michele what a lovely memory. I don't think mum's leave us either, they stay around protecting us. My OH is 100% certain that his parents look after all of us.
Hugs Lisa x

A beautiful post. I lost my Mum suddenly in January and still feel such intense sadness and loss - but I know it's early days
Right there with you. Hope you had a lovely mother's day xxx
I saw you cards in This and That today in Totnes, they looked SO pretty xxx
What a lovely photo and happy memories x
I'm sorry I have been absent so long. I know you miss your mum so much. She lives on in your heart though dear Michele. You are such a kind spirit and I think ou get so much of it from your mother. Even though I didn't of course know her.
hugs to you!
Love, Dana and Daisy
What a touching post! I loved the way it inspired me to visit my mom who lives just up the road. Sometimes we take those we love for granted. Thanks for keeping me honest.
