For Mum

Thank you so much everyone for your beautiful thoughts and prayers. With sadness Mum passed away on Friday. Thankfully Dad, Katy and I were with her when she took her last breath. Mum's struggle is over, there is a calming relief around us to know her pain has gone. Our home is full of  gorgeous flowers, a candle is burning for Mum and we loved having a whirlwind of family and special friends join us over the weekend, who have helped share this difficult time.



Mum loved lace, bows, beads and flowers. The orchids are from Mum's garden, the thimble was given to her when she started working as a seamstress at 16 years of age. I gave her the little blue vase bought with my first wage when I was 16, it always sat on the window ledge with a flower in it. When I was young I remember Mum wearing little heeled slippers, they were either fluffy or decorated with fancy bows so when I saw the miniature a few years ago it made a fun present.

    Dear Shelly, I'm sorry to know that your Mom is gone. Thank you for sharing the tribute you photographed. All of the items are so beautiful but I especially love the vase you gave her when you were 16 and how she kept a flower in it always. Perhaps you could continue the tradition in her memory? Hugs to you!
