Today would have been my mom's birthday. She would be turning 79 years old.I wanted to dedicate this post and pretty photo for a day that use to be very special to me, and the memories of when our family use to have birthday parties for my mom. On the day of her birthday, I remember me and her rushing over to Etna's Italian bakery, so we could pick up her favorite birthday cake, a rum cake. I hated the taste of rum cake, but made sure she had one every year to make her happy.
She loved having her birthday parties and became very excited when her birthday was approaching. It never bothered her that she was getting older. She didn't care at all. I really looked up to her for her carefree and cheery attitude about aging. I remember asking her, "doesn't it bother to to get older?" and she use to respond by saying "who cares, the only thing I'm happy about is feeling good and being happy." I wish I were more like that.
Happy birthday mom!
Hello Lydia,
ReplyDeleteSorry for taking me so long to reply to your lovely comment regarding my bookmarks!
I`m also Sorry for your loss!
Your lovely mother seemed to have been a W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L lady!
With a beautiful view about life!
By the way, you aren`t the only one who worries about ageing!
Me To!
Specially since my 3 Treasures are growing up so quickly.
And I`m loving their present ages.
They are so loving and innocent, and I just don`t want them to grow older and change!
Fingers Crossed... and much Love giving to them... and they won`t!
Lol
Kisses,

P.S - I have two Awards for you!
Hello Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words about my
mom. She had a very nice out look on growing older and accepting the changes that take place with the way we look as we age.
I'm not so accepting of that, but I wish I were.
It's so nice to watch as kids get older. They grow so fast. I'm sure your the same as me, where it seems like a year ago when I was in the hospital with my daughter. It's amazing, she's already going to be 8 years old on the 13th of this month. Needless to say we're having a Valentine's birthday for her.
How sweet of you to give me rewards. I'll go over now to get them.
Wishing you a very nice weekend and also wishing you much joy and happiness watching your 3 adorible little treasures grow.
Lydia
Hello dear Lydia My late mothers birthday is in this month too. This brought back some memories thanks for sharing. This touched my heart. Stay warm and hold your family close. I feel your loss my dear friend. Take care now.
ReplyDeleteLydia..we never forget, do we? No matter how many years pass, it is always fresh in our minds, and especially on special days like this.
ReplyDeleteI know your mom had to have been a wonderful human being, because just look at you!
You're a wonderful, sweet, compassionate, loving wife, mother, and friend.

This is a beautiful tribute to your Mom, Lydia. She sounds like a very special lady, and I agree with Jan..look at you:)
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son was born on Feb. 6, 1958. I'll be calling him pretty soon.
Good morning, dear Lydia,
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful post to honor your dear mother who was surely a warm-hearted human being and a great lady.
You are carrying on her inheritance, and you may be proud of it ...
So does Ivy, too.
Wishing you a peaceful weekend,
