Lately, I've been feeling a lot like Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) in You've Got Mail (one of my favorite movies). In one scene, Kathleen wishes she could talk to her deceased mother about what to do with her failing bookstore...
All this publicity and not one bit of difference? Oh Birdie, what am I going to do? What would Mom have done?
BIRDIE Let's ask her. (She opens the locket hanging around her neck. There's a picture of Kathleen's mother inside it. Birdie holds the locket up to her face).
BIRDIE Cecilia, what should we do? (Birdie holds the locket to her ear and listens. A pause).
KATHLEEN Birdie?
BIRDIE Shhhh. (after a beat, shrugs) She has no idea, but she thinks the window display is lovely.
I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful spring. I finally planted some annuals in our windowboxes and clay pots today. After an unseasonably cold, rainy spring, we are finally getting beautiful weather. And believe me, in light of the latest weather patterns, I am not complaining about our cold, rainy spring or the frigid winter we had. My heart goes out to everyone in the areas that have been hit so hard by tornadoes, and my thoughts and prayers are with you...
Donna
So sorry for your heavy heart. My mom is still alive but, really doesn't know who we are anymore. Her voice is just a soft whisper of the loving voice it use to be. We are one of the lucky children to be raised by a good mom. You've Got Mail is one of my all time favorite movies. Love the part that you mentioned in the movie. Have a better evening. Decor. Lady
ReplyDeleteOh Donna Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteI wish I could just reach right through this big old screen and give you the biggest hug of all. Better yet, I could pull you right on through to me, and we could sit and have a nice long cup of tea. Discuss the problems, share a little laughter, maybe a few tears, and just know that you are not alone sweetie.
Hugs, hugs, and more hugs. Yes your sweet Momma is right up there guiding you along. You will make all the right decisions sweetie, because you are searching with your heart.
Much love to you, Sherry
Hi Donna, flowers always pick me up when I am down. I know that God will lead you in your decisions about your dad and I'm sure your mom's memory will help guide you too! I said a little prayer for you. Carla
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking a lot about you lately and wondering how your Dad is faring. Believe me, I know how troubling all of this is. And how hard these decisions are to make.
ReplyDeleteI always tear up in that section of You've Got Mail. Also when Kathleen sees her mother twirling as she prepares to walk out of her shop. We never get over the loss of our loved ones. Breathe deep, go within, and ask your Mom for advice. I bet you just might get some sort of words or a feeling that might help.

Love and prayers to you. As Claudia said, that and the twirling scene always get me too. I hope things feel at least a little clearer and better soon. Your bouquet is lovely, and that's an adorable photo of your mom! (I'd wear her entire outfit right now too.) :)
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,
Val
Awwww I'm sending you a big (((HUG))) I know your mama is with you (And what a darling little girl she was!) I'll be sending some prayers also to help lessen the burden of that decision making. I know how very hard it can be. Vanna

Hi Donna ~ I'm sorry that your heart is aching with missing your mom. I still have my mom - thank God - and we have a great relationship and I talk to her all the time. I have "lost" my dad (12-1/2 years ago) and my oldest son (at age 21 - just 20 months ago), so I do know the horrible feeling of the loss of a loved one. I hope that the fresh air and beautiful flowers help to refresh your spirits a bit. {{hugs}}

ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweet lady. I too really miss my mom. It is so hard. I am very close to my daughter and love my time with her.
