Sunday Blessings and Mothers Day

I've been home from Dallas about 30 minutes or so.  We had a good time with my daughter, SIL, and two grand sons.  My phone rang as I was typing this.  My aunt Carolyn died this morning.  I was just reading and responding to Hala's message about losing her mother on Mother's Day.  I need to close now and call my brother and sister and give them the news.  My Aunt Irma called me but doesn't have anyone else's phone numbers.  A sad way to end Mother's day but I know my Aunt Carolyn was weary and was ready to go.

Hugs...

I felt as my mom picked taht day so I always remember her on that day... She was sick for years...and she hold on "her life" until she was sure I was OK... It was "gone" app one month after my temp job become my "regular" job as an engineer in Canada... She knew she can just relax... because she knew I will be OK...   

As much as I was sad for me that she is no longer "her" ...I knew her pain is no longer...

I truly believe that happens.  I have seen it often.  Our loved ones hold on even though their life is filled with hardship and pain to make sure others are ok.  It is a testament to the human spirit and our strength. 

Linda,

I am so sorry to hear you lost your aunt yesterday.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Hugs

Hi Ladies,

Gettinghere late , Happy mother's day  to all you lovely women. 

My mom has been gone 19 years but I do have a step mom that I went to visit today. She wasn't doing good today. She was having a lot of pain in her shoulder when she moved it. My dad thanked me for coming. My brother showed up too.

I treated myself with a ice cream cone today. It hit the spot and I only went 5 calories over my limit. That's a win.

Linda sorry about your aunt passing.

Love and hugs,

Yvonne

Hey All,

I just got back from running down the mountain. I took My daughter some potato soup and I made them chicken enchiladas for dinner Monday, Chicken, rice, and broccoli casserole for Tuesday, and Wed., they get meatloaf.  I also made some other veggies and a cake for them.  

On our way taking the kids home, we stopped at a greenhouse and bought my daughter some hanging flowering baskets for the deck at the back of the house, when I lived there, I always kept the deck so beautiful with flowers and such.  We bought her some more flowers for the flower beds too.  A few months back, a friend of mine who teaches art, took a picture of my daughter, me, and the kids (none of us were together, just separate pictures, and she painted us all together, and it turned out beautiful so instead of me keeping it, I let the kids give it to my daughter for mother's day. She broke down and cried so much and thanked them and of course me.  

Then I took my sister her mother's day gift. I sent her and my daughter flowers but I also picked her us three baskets of beautiful flowers for her back patio...she has so many humming birds that come visit in the evenings and she and my brother in law sit back there and enjoy the birds so much so I got her the baskets of beautiful flowers to attract more birds.  She was thrilled and kept telling me that I spent too much money on her...LOL...she is always afraid we will go bankrupt.
