I was reading a blog the other day as to how much to say in your knitting blog. The debate was whether or not to include personal information regarding family, jobs, etc. I, for one, like getting to know some of my readers more as friends.
For instance, three blogging friends in particular, Alison, Deb and Sandy have wonderful mothers (living or deceased) in their lives. I read their stories with envy and am happy for them.
Enough said! Circumstances are what they are. I was fortunate to have a wonderful aunt in my life who made sure I had what I needed when I was growing up. She passed away in 1981.
So, being the dutiful daughter I sent my mother a gift card. She lives in Colorado. I do what I can from such a long distance. If I lived closer, I would take her out to dinner.
I hope she has a "Happy Birthday!".
Happy Birthday to your mom. And I like the personal touch to blogs as well. :) I have meet some great friends. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mom.
ReplyDeleteI often dither on what to share with the world and what to keep to myself. It's an interesting line to draw.
Be kind to yourself today. Call a friend and go out to dinner. Renate
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Mom! You are both lucky to have each other and she's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hope your mother had a happy birthday. It's hard when there's distance involved...
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting debate. I kind of see it as I do with famous writers. I like knowing a little about them when I read their work. That is a very nice picture of you and your mom. You said quite a lot w/ your "nuff said.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mother! I always feel a bit of envy for those who have a good relationship with their mothers - something I didn't have & will never have. I have just made it my goal to try to be the kind of mother & grandmother that I would have liked to have had. My mother passed away last November - 13 years into a self-imposed separation on my part & I have yet to miss her. But that is a whole other story! I agree about learning about people & getting to know them.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom! And thank you for celebrating it with her, by card by mention by being her daughter out loud no matter the distance.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mom. What a nice pic of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteWild work day or would have made it back earlier to read your post. Though I was thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated to your Mother.

Happy Birthday to your Mom. Live with "no regrets". I'm so thankful that I had the Mom that I did. Sometimes. I did feel burdened, because our roles had been reversed, but, I also realized that it wouldn't be this way forever. I miss talking to her every morning...to start the day. I miss wishing her "Good night." But, she knew that I was there as she departed from this life. We were at the funeral home for 7 hrs. & I was wishing I had my knitting. (Mom would have agreed & smiled, I'm sure.)
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom had a wonderful 90th birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated to your mom ! That's a wonderful photo.
