Quite a few years ago, on the 24th April, (the day after my 39th birthday) I lost my beloved mum to the massive stroke she had a year earlier. This is the magnolia I planted shortly after and it always gives me such pleasure. I just wish the flowers, like the time I had with her, lasted longer.
This was originally going to be for the half and half challenge but much better to use it for today
I'm running so late again, I didn't get round to posting or commenting yesterday, I'd had a few glasses of wine for my birthday, and always find my keyboard doesn't work correctly on such instances. I hope to catch up later today
What a lovely flower, and such a touching association.
Beautiful composition, a fitting tribute to her memory.
Belated birthday greetings, that must now take you to a 40 something :)
Firstly, belated wishes for your Birthday! It sounds as if you had a great time. Secondly, a wonderful tribute to your Mum, Birthdays and holidays are always sad when we think of our parents who have passed on. A fav for your Magnolia!
What an appropriate and fitting image of remembrance for this day. So many emotions in your post - sadness, humour, celebration! Sending very best wishes your way.
What a beautiful memory with a beautiful flower. You have done it proud here! Hope you had a good birthday. Hubby's was Sunday so after Saturday night I empathise hic!
Beautiful composition, a fitting tribute to her memory.
Belated birthday greetings, that must now take you to a 40 something :)
Happy belated birthday and I hope your keyboard is back to normal today ;)
