I couldn't resist putting this picture of my then 17 year old mother in one of the frames I've painted for the upcoming wedding. I think it suits her beautiful young self very much. As does the garden setting, since she loved flowers and to work in her garden.
How she would have loved to know that The Writer is getting married and to such a wonderful young woman. And how I wish she could be here to meet Sammy and share in the excitement.
Something tells me that both she and my dad are watching all the preparations and rejoicing in their grandson's happiness and our family's good fortune.
Yes, she was beautiful. But her real beauty was inside and shown everyday to her family through her grace, good nature and loving care for us all.

Very very nice ! Don't remember ever seeing that picture before.
Great tribute.
It's funny at certain times how we miss our folks. I lost my Mom in 2006, and she too loved to garden. What a beautiful picture. I always KNOW in my heart that my Mom is watching down on all of us, and is making sure my little grandkids are doing well!
Take care, Sue
What beautiful picture of your mom...it looks like a painting!
I miss my mom when my Grands are being born. Especially my first Grand--

Oh my she looks like a lovely fairy angel.
I too feel that way you do. We miss them most at times such as these.
Off to catch up on my reading of the pre wedding prep.
She was a very special lady and I miss her warm and caring presence.
Oh I would have loved to meet her too!!! She sounds like an amazing lady.
