Do you remember the first flowers given to you from your children?

In my case …they were lovely bouquets of dandelions chosen so perfectly from the back yard. Those bouquets were the most perfect and the most loved. I remember displaying them on the kitchen table.
I know that my boys understand how much I cherished those flowers and how much I cherish their love today!
I learned so much of how to become a Mother from my Mom and my Mother in Law. They were both devoted to their families with an endless love.

Today I cherish a gift my Mother gave me when both my boys were quite young. The gift of a beautiful heart locket, that was hers, with her initials engraved on it.


She told me to place both my boys pictures in it… and so I did. What a cherished gift from her to me.

Those boys are much older now… men with their very own lives. But they will always be my little boys.

Happy Mother’s Day!

❤️❤️❤️🌹 So precious, Nancy. I can feel the love. Happy Mother’s Day to you.

A very Happy Mother’s Day to you Nancy!
Thank you my friend!
Dandelions is one of my favourite flowers! I receive bouquets from the kids at work on a regular basis 🙂
I remember when I was a teacher and the children would pick flowers on the way to school for me. Sweet memories!

Happy Mother’s Day to you, and love the color of all the flowers in your pictures! Beautiful story of the locket!
Sweet treasures! Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying!
Nancy, what a lovely post. The first flower gifts from your sons will always be sweet memories. The locket made me teary-eyed with sons’ photos. The picture of you and your mom is precious. Happy Mother’s Day my friend💗
Thank you for the love dear Pam. Happy Mother’s Day my friend. Enjoy!

Happy Mother’s Day, my friend ♥
Thank you and Same to you!
Lovely! And yes, they will always be your little boys. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you and I hope you had a lovely day as well!
I have a pin of my mothers that I will always treasure as you do your locket. What a nice story.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this. It’s a treasure I’ll always have close to my heart!
Great post….happy belated Mother’s Day!!
Thank you Kirt! Did your wife have a lovely day?
Yes she did…..as our girls know….Mothers day is bigger for my wife than her birthday! The advantage she has is that we have three daughters and they all get it even though only one of them is a mother herself! My best to you!!
Oh Nancy what a beautiful sentimental gift. You will cherish it forever. It sounds like she was a wonderful lady! I hope you had a happy Mother’s Day.
Such a heartwarming post Nancy. Clearly you had a strong bond with your Mom. I’m sorry that she is no longer with you but I sense she is very present in your heart. XO
Thank you for your heartwarming words. She was a special lady. And I sure hope I can be that special lady for my kids!
Stay well my friend!
