Three years ago today my Mummy went to be with Jesus... I still miss her so much and think about her (and talk to her) every day. I miss our chatty times over a nice cup of tea. I never lived far from her and it was a rare day that passed without talking to her....
Was she not the cutest little thing? She was always a tiny, little thing like that until the end of her life when she was on Prednisone. She used to drink 1/2 and 1/2 to try to keep the weight ON...
She was the best cheerleader for me.......always telling me how much she loved me and that everything I did was just perfect.......yep, isn't that just the way mothers are? :-)
She had a wonderful sense of humor and was very well read........she could actually recite The Raven poem by heart. She went back to college in her 40's "just because"....
I'll never stop missing her sweetness and encouragement.
I started this blog after she passed away to try to deal with my incredible loss....
You've all helped me so much.
I thank you for all your kind words.
On one of my recent flea market trips I ran across these two mottos.....I would do anything to be able to give them to her.
Ahhhh.... I was a lucky girl.
I miss you Mummy..........I'll see you again someday. I'm blowing you a kiss.... just like always.

I can totally relate to how you are feeling as my husband is gone, too. HUGS to you as you are remembering your incredible mom.♥♫
ReplyDeleteA thought to your mother!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice time for Christmas and wish you all the best for the new year!

Oh dearest, I REMEMBER WHEN YOU AND I "met"....our mums, so dear to us, so DEAR. Your mummy was and IS the cutest lady. Look at how tiny she was! My mum was small too; but BIG in heart, no?
ReplyDeleteI send you my most sincere wishes to remember this day with HAPPY TEARS...let the tears flow...let them GUSH OUT and Jesus will wipe them away. Those feelings are with us to remind us how blessed we are. To think that JESUS also wept at times...WOW....that is amazing. WE SHALL SEE OUR MUMS AGAIN, and if they do any creative stuff in Heaven, those two little women just may have found each other and are sewing away!!!!!!! BE BLESSED MY DEAREST, and so good to see you!!! Anita
I believe with all my heart that you and your mum will be together again one day.. For now, she's there often and watches over you. Her love always surrounds you and I know you still feel it.
ReplyDeleteYES, she was absolutely adorable and what a sweet smile too.
Love lives , always.
I see you in your mom Spencer. OMG... You are both beauties.
ReplyDeleteI know it might get a little easier, but that pain of missing someone will never go away.
I know your mom LOVED you so much. I can hear it in your sweet voice.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas morning. I know things don't always turn out the way we would like them too, but them we are mothers???
Love You
Love Me

Nothing ever can, or should, replace our mothers. We will always miss them.

What a sweet tribute to your mummy. I still have mine but she's way down in Arizona. She's 79 today and I hope I'm able to see her again soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Spencer.

I understand how you feel. I lost my father almost 3 years ago. I've sure they are watching us and guiding us.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

Such a sweet tribute to your mom. How wonderful to have had her in your lives. A blessing.. for certain.
ReplyDeleteIf my Dad was still with us...today would be his birthday.
I miss him so much too.
It's so hard to be human sometimes .....
Thankfully, there is a plan and we will be re-united with our loves ones one day.....
I know you miss your mum but what great memories and her love and encouragement still lives with you. That can never go away. Enjoy your memories
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
Beautiful tribute to your Mother, Spencer. What a wonderful example she must have set, and how wonderful that the two of you were such good friends. laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Cupcake! Thanks so much for your sweet Christmas wishes! You're a joy!
ReplyDeleteThis just made my heart melt, as even 7 years after my Mom left earth, I still long sooo much for her hugs and love and encouragement. I still think we're going to find out that the two of them are buddies up there!! :o) Such a fun thought!
Happy New Year to you, Spencer! I'm so looking forward to all it holds for us!!
Love and huggies,
Becky
So sweet, I lost my sweet Mom 7 years ago on this same day so I know how you feel, the loss is always there. Thank goodness for the wonderful memories!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words to your sweet mum. Hold on tight to those wonderful memories, I find that they are what gets me through the most difficult times. Hugs to you dear one...jj
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling the love and loss of your Momma Miss Spencie. Gone too soon...gone too soon. I pray today the memories of your Mother's love will continue to carry you as you live out your BEST LIFE....
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year~
Love, Rebecca
Wonderful recognition of all a mother gives, and I am sure she know just how you feel. I love this quote; "To the world you are a mother, but to your family, you are the world." Happy New year to you. :D
ReplyDeleteOh you are so lucky to have had such a wonderful mom Spencer. I think it is one of life's most precious gifts to have had a great mom. I am sure your mom still enjoys your daily chats. She was a doll!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had the best Christmas ever...and I will see you in the new year!
hugs...
I miss my mom too...so lovely you had the great times with her spencer, I know she still is listening...So happy to be back after hand surgery so I can comment instead of just read your blog...Keep blogging cause I am a fan...phyllis
ReplyDeleteSpencer - you are very blessed to have had such a wonderful Mum, and such wonderful memories.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing. For now I was just dropping by to wish you a Happy New Year and to thank you for visiting my place and your lovely comments. I look forward to engaging more with you in 2012. Cheers SpecialK XoXo
ReplyDeleteOh, sweetie pie... I am so sorry you are missing your mother. I know that longing, too, and am so thankful for the Lord and His companionship. I have really been missing Adelaide. The good thing is, her daughters are her legacy. I hurt for them, too, because I know how much they missed their mother this Christmas. We all put on a good show for the kids, but it was hard. We had fun, but we missed our girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm up and running again (I hope), and I couldn't wait to stop by here and wish you a Merry Christmas (this is the 6th day, swans a'swimming, you know), and I'd like to wish you the happiest of New Years, Spencer.
Love you much...
XO,
Sheila :-)

Wonderfully written! I have tears in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteMy mum went to heaven this past September and this was our first Christmas without her here with us.
It was so very hard emotionally but I made a promise to myself that I would make Christmas special for everyone like mum always did!
And I did it with much support from my dear husband, daughters, son and grand babies!
My heart aches to hear her voice every day.
Sending you Hugs Spencer!
Sincerely,
Dolly
