This is what I think of when I think of Mother's Day. I always bought my Mom one.
Back in the day it was the height of chocolate sophistication. Even the boxes were fancy. Jordan Almonds. Molasses Chews. Chocolate Truffles. Those chocolate covered raspberry jelly things. So good. They used to have foil wrapped pieces in them making the interior so pretty. They are not the same since Russell Stover took over the company and neither is Mother's Day without...
...her. I don't think you ever get over losing your mom. Today she's never going to be far from my thoughts. She would have been 90 on her last birthday which was a few weeks ago. I never got to see her grow old, I only got to see her get sick. If she's anywhere now, I hope she's over on Rainbow Bridge with all her critters. She never met a mangy mutt she didn't love.
Your mother looks lovely. It is a hard holiday when your mother has passed.
ReplyDeleteI well remember the Whitman's Chocolates and you are right about them being the height of style back in the day.
I hope you can think about your mom looking happy with a really photogenic dog. I'll be thinking about my mother today, too. She's been gone for 24 years but I still miss her.
ReplyDeleteSending a hug. You are a great Mom and Grandmother!
ReplyDeleteMy mother's gone, too. She did like chocolate --- she made a fabulous chocolate pie.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo of your mother. Happy Mother's Day. And I agree with you. You never get over losing your mother. I miss my Mom so much.
ReplyDeleteMother's Day can be a roller coaster. My Mom has been gone since 2002 and I think of her almost everyday. Sending a hug to you. I hope your Mom is indeed enjoying her dogs.
ReplyDeleteI loved that box of candy too. My Mom has been gone for 36 years now. I still miss her. She would have been 103 this year. That seems so crazy. You are a wonderful Mom and Grandma for your kids. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
