If you haven't discovered her for your children, please do. Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge is for older children than you have now, but it's a beautiful story about a young boy trying to find out what "memory" is so he can help an elderly friend find hers. It is exactly what you are talking about here - remembering together. Thank you for your wonderful words, and thanks to Jenny for sharing her blog with you, though if you had one, I'd follow it. =)Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-59020003091477635172018-08-09T03:12:42.436+10:002018-08-09T03:12:42.436+10:00Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

My mother died in 1995 when my children were 11 and 9. She was my best friend also. She had been my best friend my entire life. She had grown up in a family of 5 and never really been allowed to be a child. I had two older brothers so when I came along she was delighted to finally have a girl to play with. And she did. She played dolls with me and got in on my imaginary play. She would color one page while I colored the other page in my coloring books. She had me embroidering when I was 4 years old and had me sewing on her sewing machine the summer after 1st grade. She was always there. How she would have loved her great-grandchildren. Take the time to have fun with your beautiful girls. My mother taught me that children can be involved in helping around the house earlier than most people think and they love to help out. My grandson liked to peel carrots at Cully May's age and still does using a vegetable peeler. My rule is, If I am not needing them for a dish I am preparing he has to eat what he peels. When he was Cully May's age it would take him up to 45 minutes to peel one. He was happy while I was busy preparing dinner and he got a vegetable in him! I can tell by the pictures that your Mother posts that you have two very happy little girls. Each moment is precious. Each moment is God given.TerriSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161769399124744018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-85279000115844681132018-08-09T01:31:20.822+10:002018-08-09T01:31:20.822+10:00What a blessing to have a daughter who loves you s...What a blessing to have a daughter who loves you so much! What a blessing to have a mom who loves her daughter so much. Truly a gift from God for both of you. I am so blessed to read your blog each time you write. Now you have blessed me even further with this letter from Blossom. I am glad you and your sweetheart decided to wait and see on the house. It seems that peace is something far better than we imagine. I sense you have peace at this time and that is good for your soul. Many blessings on you both this day.

But through your mother's blog, I know how much her family means to her and how much she loves the time you and she have together. And now you are a mother and you can begin to pass along what you have learned to your lovely girls. And they in turn will continue to pass along what they learn to their children. Cherish your family, cherish your parents, and be proud of who you are.DIGBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838849822092284346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-9637189879394009202018-08-08T12:04:03.501+10:002018-08-08T12:04:03.501+10:00A beautiful tribute to your mother and a testament...A beautiful tribute to your mother and a testament to your fine character.

I know where your heart comes from --- definitely your Mum and, I would have to guess because you and your Mum have such loving hearts, from your Papa. Such a sweet reminder of how important we all are -- young, old, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle... I was fortunate that I worked at my Mother's nursing home when my son was born. He spent the first three years of his life with 48 grandparents who cherished him. They played ball with him on the floor; toddled behind him when he started walking; and, snuggled him during morning or afternoon nap (cuddling him was a reward for an unsoiled bed -- so many residents became continent so they could snuggle the baby). He learned to dance from Mr. Levecott and to sing from Mr. Dando. I wish all senior care centers had child care centers within their walls because of the wealth of love each can give the other.... Blessings to you all! mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749881104429358524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-12624885003035865352018-08-08T11:29:00.740+10:002018-08-08T11:29:00.740+10:00Just beautiful.

I never appreciated all my mother (and father) had done for me until I held my first born. From then on I knew the love she had given so freely and everything else she ever did for me. Jenny is so lucky to have a gorgeous daughter like yourself who loves and appreciates her dearly. I am sure my daughters love me in their own way but only have one with children and the penny doesn't seem to have dropped with her but maybe I am wrong. When I read your words it reminded me of myself at age 21 holding my first child. I have 4 children and 3 grandchildren and all are a blessing to me. Also a new baby is on the way for my youngest son (his first child) so I am truly blessed. Thank you again Blossom for your beautiful letter. Your 2 daughters are so gorgeous. Little Cully May reminds me of my first born - she always had such a beautiful smile and was and still is a beautiful soul despite all that life has thrown at her in recent years. Thank you again. God Bless you and your family.
