MOTHERS DAY MEMORIES
The Beatles and Tom Jones, whenever I hear them I am back with you in our kitchen at home, the radio was always on (still is in my house!).
You peeking through the school fence when you walked by during playtime, touching fingers.
Lines of sparkling washing!
Hot dogs on Saturday evening, our Aunty and Uncle always turned up and you used to say that they could smell them cooking!
Walking home from Sunday Mass and buying our favourite biscuits on the way back.
Teaching me how to iron hankies!
Slipping me a piece of sugary apple when you were making apple pies!
Seeing you cry for the first time when I was 7 years old because my eldest brother had been in an accident. I only ever saw you cry twice in your life, the second time was when you were diagnosed and even then you pulled yourself up by your socks and got on with it!
The way you put my problems in perspective, nothing and nobody is worth getting upset over!
My Monday presents, I have always hated Mondays so you always bought me a little present, a magazine or maybe some Quickies (eye make-up cleansing pads!).
The look on your face when you first saw my babies, pure love.
Getting words jumbled up, 'melongitis' for example. Your Granddaughter does the same thing now, remember scowling(scouring) pad, Carly?
Stopping for a coffee after shopping, two hours later....
There are so many good memories Mum, you and Dad always made me feel safe and secure. I miss you everyday but especially today, Mothers Day. Thankyou for all the good times, all the laughter and for showing such strength at the end, as always thinking of others. I know that you can see your Great Granddaughter, the light of our life, she brightens our days just as you did. Happy Mothers Day Mum, love you lots.
