For teaching me the difference between ‘I need’ and ‘I want’.
For letting me fall and get back up and showing me that you can actually kiss it better.
For the horticultureal advice that money does not, in fact,grow on trees.
For helping me understand that ‘Mary the Maid’ was never actually going to appear.
For giving me the courage to know that just because all my friends might jump in a river, I should not feel the need to follow.
For never telling Dad that we changed from the ‘sensible’ jeans we kissed him goodbye in, to a miniskirt the size of a handkerchief, on the way to the disco.
For helping me realise that my broken heart would indeed be better before I married.
For teaching me that you do not need a ticket to win the lotto, you just need to look at your children’s faces and realise that you already have.
For being the most amazing example of unselfish, unending patience and love.
For inspiring me to try, everyday, to be a better person.
For being the kind of mother I can only hope to be.
Thank you Mum.
Happy Mothers Day
Where would we be without our Mums, lovely post
Utterly lost Naomi!! Probably wandering around searching for Mary the Maid and the 'money tree ' LOL
Can I just copy and paste for my own mammy?! Loved it, and happy Mother's Day to YOU, you lovely mammy xxx
Aw thanks Emily!! You have full permission but only if you swear you wore miniskirts the size of handkerchiefs going to the disco lol!
Really beautiful post 🙂
Thank you Denise😊
This is gorgeous, I have to use Mary The Maid's lack of appearance in my house from now on!
Thank you April…that Mary the Maid is a disaster…never does a thing, I'm waiting yrs for her to even clear the table!!
Oh that's lovely Elizabeth! Your mum will love it. I don't know who Mary the Maid is – is she much use?
Thank you😊 Mary the Maid was oft quoted when we were growing up, any job we were given we were told to get on with it as 'Mary the Maid' had left/wasn't returning/never existed!! Alternatively if we left work for Mum she would ask who we thought she was..Mary the Maid?? She featured ALOT lol!!
Lovely! Laughed at the horticultural advice! My Dad used to say that too, he was big on the oul money gardening!
Thank you. If I ever discover how to grow a money tree I will be sure to share!!
Lovely Elizabeth, your Mum sounds like she has an answer for everything. (In the best possible way)
