Mothering Sunday

Mothering Sunday, Mother's Day - whatever label we wish to attach to it, surely the essence is that we connect via whatever means with our Mums!

I say 'via whatever means' because not everyone still has their Mum around, whether separated by death or by distance - emotional or otherwise! In my view, it is probably easier to connect with a departed Mum through loving thoughts than it is to reach out to a Mum with whom you no longer have contact. It is hard for me to imagine what that situation must be like; I still have my Mum around and we have a great relationship and friendship, as do my daughter and I.
By the way, DDD (Dearest Darling Daughter), thank you s-0-0-0-0 much for the fabulously exotic bouquet of flowers!!

Some of my schoolfriends used to say, "I wish my Mum were like yours". Only later in life did I perhaps truly appreciate the real sentiment behind those words.

Although no longer geographically as close as I would like, the hugs and kisses exchanged when we do meet are totally genuine and heartfelt. The loving care extended to Mum by my younger sisters allows me peace of mind in the knowledge that she is not alone. Our dear departed Dad and brother spend a lot of time watching out for her, too. How do we know this? Apart from what we sense ourselves, a lovely lady by the name of Frances who practices as a healer, medium and tarot reader has confirmed it and provided us with much comfort with the information passed on to us by our loved ones.

So, let's cherish our Mums while we can and not have to rely on speaking to them through mediums, although certain people may see that as a method of choice! Pity ........
