Mother that keeps on giving

I buy myself a Christmas and Birthday Gift from the money my Mum left to me each year. It brings me comfort as do the things of hers that are "dotted" round our home.

I have kept a very few ornamental items that they loved. I didn't like them for years and am not an "ornaments person" but couldn't part with them.

These ornaments have crept into my heart - and looking at them it makes me feel close

When my mum was alive she always gave me lovely presents on my Birthday and Christmas time so since she died,nearly 10 years ago, I have bought myself a special present on those days and pretend it's from her.
This Christmas she gave me a lovely heated fur throw and today I'm snuggled up on the sofa with it wrapped around me and it reminds me of her.
Do you have any special things you do to remind you of past loved ones?
