An Ode to my Mother

I cannot even express how thankful I am for you and all you have done for me.  I hope that my brother and I were not too trying for you as children.

But to thank you for everything you have done for us, I am offering you this song.  I know it doesn't make up for the fact that I'm not there on your birthday.  But I hope it makes you smile.

I love you and I'm remembering all the fun we had growing up with you as our mother.

This is for you...

Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Mom,

It is now officially Mother's Day in the US and therefore it is time for me to wish you a second and more official Happy Mother's Day.

If you were here I would take you for a walk to see all the lovely flowers that are out for spring.  Spring in the UK is truly beautiful.  This is not just because we are just way too excited to see the sun again. 

Seeing as you are still not here however, I will simply have to make do with sending you a few pictures of flowers.  So, here you have it, some flowers from a stroll around the UK.

These lovely pink flowers were blowing gently in a brisk Leeds wind.

I found them quite pretty.

Then I went for a stroll along the river in the adorable little town of Walton-on-Thames.  Spring had arrived there too and graced a lovely old Medieval House.

Spring here really is lovely.

I hope that you are enjoying this fine spring day and there are loads of pretty flowers for you.  Happy Mother's Day Mom.

I love you.
