My Mum died 6 years ago today ...it saddens me that I didn't always tell her what I felt about her...whats even more poignant is that it's my brother's birthday too.........Happy Birthday Ade....xx
Happy Birthday to your brother. It's hard knowing there is always something more we could have said to the ones we love who are gone. I am sure she feels your emotion. xox Corrine
This is such a hard season for those who have lost loved ones - especially during the season. All around celebrating and yet inside we mourn the loss of our loved one as the anniversary reminds of of the loss even more keenly. Seems a double hardship. Yet, we celebrate their lives lived too. My mom died December 2nd two years ago and I haven't been able to get into the holidays still like I used to. I will never celebrate Thanksgiving again like I used to. Anyway, I digress. What I wanted to say was that your mom, as all mom's do, knew you heart and soul and that she would have known every single expression of your heart as it was reflected in your voice, your face, the feel of your hugs. She knew you loved her. You can not lose someone without going back over all you could have or should have done and not find something to regret. Do not let that pull you down. I am sure you always loved her and loved her well and that she knew it then as she knows it now. That she would have you banish all thoughts about what you could have done better and simply live and continue to honor her memory. Knowing you I know not a person around you could not be but blessed. She had to have felt inordinantly proud of you. I am sure she is still close to you now and that you will one day be reunited. She will not want you to waste a moment on regrets for what you should have done better. You did just fine by her I know you did. Hugs, Lisa
I'm sure she knows how you felt. It shows in these pictures. (They are adorable by the way.) Thanks for the reminder for me to let my mother know how I feel before it's too late.

I am a qualified Textile Teacher but now I am lucky enough to follow my dream being a full time Textile Artist and I love every minute I spend creating in my studio at The West Wing. I am passionate about textiles and am privileged to share my skills with others.
I run workshops for schools, colleges and groups.
I work 1 to 1 with individuals who might want help with basic sewing or more advanced techniques.
Commissions are always welcome please get in touch with me to discuss your requirements. No textile job is too small .....:)
I sell my work through Etsy and you can find me on Facebook at Artymess Textile Art ...come and say hello.
Thanks for taking the time to have a glimpse at my world.

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July

ReplyDeleteThe pain of loss seems more acute at this time of year. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you sweetie, there are always 2 sides to something, aren't there? oxo
ReplyDeleteLoosing someone you love at Christmas time is especially hard. I lost my son nine years ago last Thursday. Thinking of you
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family.
