Yes, she gave the greatest gift of all, in raising your hubby, Tim. I once wrote those words to my late mother-in-law, to let her know that I appreciated her. Thank you for this most lovely story...it touched my heart this morning. kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-4807323428535931512017-09-25T13:43:50.313-07:002017-09-25T13:43:50.313-07:00What a lovely tribute, Lorrie!

It reminds me of something my mom would have done. A simple act that reminds us we are thought about and loved.<br />I know this birthday without her must have been bittersweet for you and your family.

Mine was the daughter of a French Canadian mother from Sherbrooke, Quebec, and she grew up in New Hampshire. I learned some great recipes from her, we sewed clothes together, and she was always clipping articles for me to read to help me get used to American life. We enjoyed many happy times together when Bob and I married and moved to New Hampshire and lived near his parents. One hears such awful stories about bad MIL's - seems you and I were fortunate in that we had wonderful ones!<br /><br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-27800200463267267242017-09-24T15:45:16.224-07:002017-09-24T15:45:16.224-07:00Lovely tribute, Lorrie.

Isn't that nursing graduation picture lovely and her uniform so perfectly crisp and white? Not many women can say their future husbands swam a river to meet them. You must share more stories of her life in the faraway countries. And I don't blame her for wanting to reschedule Sunday night phone calls during Downton Abbey, I remember asking the same thing.
