Conny, thanks for posting that lovely picture of you with your mum. Thinking of all of you.

((((Jari, Nick, Glenn, Jimmy, Conny))))
We have planted memorial trees for our parents - they are quite small trees of course, but every time I go and stand among them I feel comforted. This is from sunset a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Chris

My garden is already full of things for my Mum, but I think something extra and special will be planted now. Something happy, beautiful and serene, something that flowers too, of course. Something scented, becasue for the last years of her life she couldn't tolerate scents, they exacerbated her breathing problems.

Today my house is full of Lillies: Stargazer; Casa Blanca; La Reve; Easter Lillies; Journey's End. At the weekend there will be Narcissi & Daffs too. The place will be full of the blooms that she loved, but couldn't have.

The sun shines on them all here today.

My mother loved red carnations. So every year on her birthday I buy them. For her.

I am thinking of all of you today so much.  :-*
I can just see all those lovely flowers, Nick.
Carnations are one of my favorites as well Jari, the look and the spicy smell.

Rick loved the outdoors and taught me to love it as well. (Thus Chris, I  love the pics of the trees)
He was a plant person and preferred to give those to me instead of flowers. I love flowers.
Thus I compromise and have flowering plants.

I am thinking of him a lot these days with all that is going on with all my good friends.

My prayers are with all who are going thru death and illness of loved ones recently and all who are dealing with them further back.
Spring and the earth going through rebirth brings back so much of these thoughts to all of us. I pray that they are gentle memories and that the pain, though I know it never goes away, is peaceful in your hearts. This is my hope to all.

KNow that you mom will be there to give you strength, as she has done all her life, and know that you have that strength in you as well.
You know that we are all here sending you that strength, support and love.

Know that your mom will be there with you......... may you find strength in that, and in the love and support of all your friends here.

We'll be there.  And Jackie will be there with you.  She bring the strength of a giant army with her, I'm sure.
