It's a day to remember and celebrate, even as we must maintain distances between us. My mother has been gone for 15 years, and of course I still miss her, especially her sweet voice. But I smile when I think of her, the way she liked her tea (cream and sugar please), her pretty hankies, her love of perfumes and scents, sparkly jewelry and flowered teacups. I remember her joyful smile, soft hugs, and the way she just loved all babies. I was blessed to have her as my mother, and I cherish my memories of her.
I've found these charming vintage pictures here and there over the past few years, and I wish I could send one to my Mom now. She'd have liked their vintage sentimentality, I know. But I can send them to all of you, with my very best wishes to all of my mother friends!

Yes, I'm sure your mum would have loved those pictures. When I was clearing out my mother's house I discovered that she'd kept all the Mothering Sunday cards we'd sent her over the years.
