Help I'm turning into my Mum!

How many of us have seen this phrase and smiled?

I'm not sure, that for me, that this is such a bad thing.

I have recently been looking through some albums with Lauren and Emma to find some resemblance of them in their children. 

Each one of the photos brought back a memory for them, which was really sweet. My photographs are my memories and I hope that I am capturing  memories for my own grandchildren. Looking through the albums made me think and reflect.

Today is mums birthday and I struggle because I have no photographs of  my mum with my grandchildren who so much resemble her own grandchildren.

The thing is as we were looking through the photographs, I was not really looking at the children I was looking at my mum and I saw so much of her in me.

The joy is so obvious in her face as she holds her grandchildren for the first time. I can hear her laugh as she danced with them at parties. Mum just loved to be around her family.

Its only now that I fully understand why she preferred staying at home rather than travelling the world.

Looking at my photographs I see me in my garden and in my home with my grandchildren and I realise that not only am I blessed but I am definitely turning into my mother!!!!

These few photos show how Mum didn't need to take her grandchildren to theme parks or on expensive holidays. She was happy to spend time with them in her own garden or at a local park.

So today on mums birthday I am not posting my favourite photo of mum, who smiles at me from every room in the house.

 I am posting a few photos of mum with her grandchildren to thank her because…

I am everything I am because she loved me.

Happy Birthday Mum
