Forget-me-nots and daisies

After returning home from my walk, I took this photo today of these sweet little flowers I picked from the roadside.



Just want to say thank you very much for your kind words of love and support - it has been a great help and appreciate all my dear friends.
 

We had a beautiful farewell to say goodbye to our dear Mother, Grandma and Great Grandma, along with all our family, friends and  carers that had looked after her in her latter years
Shirley my Mother-in-law had written some lovely words in a book so was great to hear her words and thoughts read out at the service, of some of her life. 
We will miss you and will always remember you. 
Rest your beautiful soul
Everything changes, nothing perishes

 It is at times like this, makes you realise how precious family is and we need to always remember and value our loved ones.
Just to finish off will leave you with my pretty creamy magnolia that is blooming in the garden.


Hope your week is going well
hugs
Carolyn

    Reading some of her own words was no doubt very special.
    What a beautiful and graceful woman she was and no doubt, on the inside as well.

  9. Your MiL looked such a lovely young girl who became a wonderful mother, grandmother, and grandmother - she will be remembered by you all - for-get-me-nots are so appropriate.

  10. Dear Carolyn, continuing to think of you, your husband and family at this time and thankful that the gathering to say farewell to your dear MiL went well. May you be comforted by remembrances of a beautiful, gracious lady. Having her words in a book is special. The forget-me-not flowers and margeurites in the posy bowl are lovely. Blessings from Linda and family.xx

  16. This is a dear post to remember your mother-in-law, Carolyn. The picture of her is so pretty. I thought that she was born in the 20's, as she looks like one of the pretty 20's girls you see in the magazines. And a lovely magnolia blooming in your garden for her. This is a BIG one.

    Yes, family is so important.

    love, ~Sheri
