Unbeknown to us, this would be the last trip that the four of us would make together as Mother and daughters. Our Mom passed away in August of 2007 and we miss her so very much.
No cards or flowers will be bought for Mother's Day. But we will hold wonderful and precious memories in our hearts and always remember her as our beautiful Mom.
I sketched this drawing of the four of us at the beach. Left to right; Me, the chunkiest of the four, my baby sister, Kim....the prissiest one, Marsha, the sassy one and our Mother, the one that put up with all three of us under the same roof. What a saint.
This isn't a very good photo, just a small snapshot that I keep in a frame as a reminder of our "girls only" trip to the beach. We had just finished having dinner on the marina. The waiter was smitten with our Mother and he showered her with compliments. We never heard the end of it!!
I can still see her sitting at the dining room table. She was wearing her animal print pajamas and robe and having her morning coffee, smiling and chatting away. So happy that she had her three daughters all to herself.
Happy Mother's Day Mother!
from your loving daughters
Happy Mother's Day to everyone, may your day be filled with joy and laughter and family.

I too will be missing my mom this year. She has been gone for two years now and she is greatly missed. I will hold onto the wonderful memories and love to share them with the kids. We talk about our "Bushie Moments" all of the time.
Your girls weekend sounds wonderful and the sketch is too! xoxo
How sweet she was Sissie...I feel the same way, I'm always so happy when we are all together!
Happy Mother's Day!

Very sweet post...You are lucky to have had such a sweet mother and I am, too. I often wish that we had had an "alone" sort of trip before she passed away. Your pictures are beautiful and I love your sketch. Happy Mother's Day, sweet lady!
XO,

Sissie such sweet memories. I am blessed to still have my Mom and I appreciate her so much. I must say that sketch is adorable! hugs, Linda
What more could a mother ask for, Sissie. To have her grown children all to herself like that. I love your sketch of the four of you and that you have it framed.
I love your sketch Sissie! It is truly adorable and your story made me cry! I rememeber her best whenever I sit out on my patio and enjoy a summer breeze. She loved to sit on the porch and enjoy the simple pleasures in life! :) I miss her so much and I am so happy you all had a fun mother-daughter vacation together! What a wonderful memory! Love ya!
how beautiful and what a wonderful memory for you all to cherish. you were blessed with a loving mom and i am sure she watches ever so carefully for you all from up above. happy mother's day sissie!
Well Sissie, I have been saying we were sisters separated at birth! We live parallel lives I guess...I have two sisters and all three of us would take special mother daughter trips to fun places. Oh the memories you can make on a trip like that! Your sketch is priceless!
Such a sweet memory. And the sketch is priceless! Have you copied it for your sisters?
Sissie , that sketch is precious , and those are some wonderful mememories as well. I miss my mom too , I guess we never grow to old for that .
Happy Mother's Day to you Sissie! I hope you have an enjoyable one with lovely memories of your Mother. Your picture is just delightful of all you "girls". So sweet and special just like you.

What a beautiful tribute to your mom Sissie! I love the sketch and I also love that you shared that time together with your mom before her passing. Happy Mother's Day!
Kat :)
such happy memories. Blessed as I to have wonderful mother whom we miss....
HOw wonderful! I too have 3 daughters and had the opportunity to have them all to myself several years ago. I knew at the time that it was likely to be the one and only time that it would be just us and I savored it. As I am sure your mom did.
Oh- I am so jeaous that you had your Mom as an adult and two sisters to enjoy her with you- what a blessing! xxoo Diana
Your sketch is just wonderful and you framed it in the perfect beachy frame. I am sure you treasure the trip with your Mom and Sisters very much.
Oh sissy!Beautiful story you have.I loved it and could relate well.One of my sisters is an artist and draws cute pic of our family too.Thanks for coming by my place for a visit.
What a sweet post and I LOVE that sketch Sissi! I am in the "motherless daughter's" club too but have good memories to hold me over. Hold onto that! Have a great weekend sweet lady!

Ah Sissie, great post.
I lost my Mom the same year on Mothers Day. I was going to blog about that but it's too sad. I miss her very much too. This day is such a time of reflection to me. I love that you all had that great trip before she left you. The drawing is the best!!!!!!!!! Love you sweet friend.
Lisa
What a precious post! I know that you treasure your wonderful memories of your mom. My sweet mom passed away in 2005 - Mother's Day is not the same now, but my sister and I know that we were blessed to have her as our mother!
The beach drawing of the four "girls" is adorable!
Thanks for sharing :-)
