Dear Stitching Friend
With the beautiful month of May just around the corner, our thoughts turn to the privilege and wonderment of motherhood. Whether you are a new Mum, Grand-ma, or, in some cases, Great Grand-ma, or someone who has taken on the role of mother, without giving birth, you know the joy that springs from this truly amazing miracle of life. I love that in England, they call it “Mothering Sunday”. This brings up images of warmth, fertility, scone-baking, spring picnics, and happy times with those we hold dear. We recently welcomed to our family, a beautiful new grand-daughter to our son and his wife, living in London. While we won’t have the pleasure of growing with this little scrap of life daily, it is much easier now to communicate, video chat, and even visit. She already has a cousin, born to our daughter six years ago now (shown in the photo) ~ hopefully these two little girls will meet and get to know each other as the years roll on.
