| Me and Mum on one of her visits to The Bahamas (Cape Santa Maria, Long Island, Bahamas) |
This time of year always
reminds me of the last time I saw my mother ten years ago. As Christmas
approached, Erskine came up with the exciting suggestion that we should
surprise Mum and fly to England
I booked our flights,
arranged for us to stay in holiday accommodation close to Mum so we wouldn’t
put her out in any way, and even booked Christmas Dinner for three at a nearby
hotel.
It was difficult for me to
keep the secret, but once all our plans and bookings were made I called Mum to
give her our surprise. I’ll never forget how happy she was and what a special
Christmas and New Year that was. I am so glad we did this and am grateful to
Erskine for making it possible, as three months later my dear mother passed
away suddenly.
Wishing you all a very happy,
healthy and peaceful New Year!
What a nice post this is, Fay! I am glad too that you all took the time to visit your Mother there when you did. We just never know how much longer any of us has, so we should make it a point to do something special for our loved ones when we can - even for no reason at all.
