I did something odd today.
It is Mother's Day and I bought flowers for my mum. They are on the bay window sill in a nice new glass vase.
My mum died April 10th 2004 and I hadn't seen her for many years. She wasn't a good mum. I never bought her flowers whilst she was alive. I didn't even know where she was for 10 years. I didn't know she had died until July 05 . I found out one night whilst surfing the net.
I'm not willing to let this go...

I came here casually. I've just read your post, and I need to tell you be patience, your mother is pleased and cheerfull with your present for her... Sure ... wherever she is, she will be proud of you...
I don't think I ever bought flowers for my Mum when she was alive, atleast I don't remember doing so. I went for years without seeing her, she too was not a good mum. I still, all these years later struggle to understand/comprehend her style of being a Mother, and I make damn sure I am/will never be the same type of Mother myself. Still repairing the damage it did to me after all these years, 47 years old now, you would have thought I could have come to terms with it. Don't suppose I ever will understand it even if I accept it. Well done you though, sounds like you are moving through some of the mire!
Beautiful knitting, beautiful sock and I want hug you for your comments about your mom. I did buy flowers for mine while she was alive. She said they had ants in them. I bought her chocolate. She said the mailman put it on his radiator and melted it. I bought her an expensive smocked nightgown with European sizing (44). She said she was not a cow and wouldn't try it on. I bought her a cheese/sausage selection that was packed in styrophone. She said I had sent her a box of rocks and she gave it to the mailman. Finally, I gave up. I think you did good.
