Happy Mother's Day

Anna and Tabitha
My mother was always afraid Tabitha would run away and always walked her on a leash. Anna died in 2012 at age 92 and Tabitha pass about three years later. I still feel that my mom is right by my side and she lives in my heart. Happy Mother's Day to all of you.

We had a cat that walked on a leash and rode in the back window of the car. It excited comments wherever we traveled.

She will always be in your heart. I lost my Dad in February. Father's day will be here soon, first one without him. I hope I can honor him in my heart. x

Lovely photo of your Mom and her Tabitha. I remember so many posts and photos of your Mom and Tabitha when they were living with you. You are right, Mom is still there beside you

I always enjoyed your posts that included your mother. She was fortunate to have such a devoted daughter. Know you still miss her.

We all loved Anna and I thought of her yesterday and you too. I just remember you writing, after she had graduated earth life, that you were now an orphan. It made me think that I was an orphan too as both my parents were gone also.. Thank goodness for memories and nurturing from beloved parents. They do live in our hearts and minds and I'm sure are still keeping their eyes on us. What a blessing to have had her with you for so long. Mother's have such power and influence for both good and bad, we are so fortunate to have both had mother's who influenced and taught us so well and helped us to become good women.

I felt so lost when both my parent were gone, like an orphan must feel. I always lived near them and we talked everyday.
Anna was beautiful and I miss your posts about her, Tabitha and Webster. ❤

I always enjoyed the posts that included your mom. I can't believe it's been 7 years. Wow. Tabitha and Webster were such wonderful pets. Have you never thought of getting another pet?

Karen -- It will be 7 years on December 12 of this year since I lost my dear mom. She was my biggest supporter and we had a great long run together. One of these days a pet will find me. Right now I am enjoying the fledgling wrens having flying lessons from their birdhouse on my balcony. I have plenty of wildlife all around me that don't require my care and I'm fine with that right now. Thanks for your concern!

Linda Sand -- My mother always wanted Tabitha to go with us in the car but Tabitha had other ideas. She though the car meant a trip to the vet or the rabies clinic. Your cat was the perfect traveler.
xo, Rosemary

I am running to catch up with this delightful nod to your very special mother and her Tabitha. The minute I saw their familiar photo, it gave me pause to simply enjoy them as I know you often do. Recently, I came across a photo of my mother with my baby brother and me at about age 5 . . . it provoke the very best sense of her at that place and time even though I likely was too young to have captured the memory all on my own.
Time for a hug
Linda
