One of my last shopping trips with her was a few weeks before when we were Christmas shopping. I helped her choose a dress for my daughter....I can't go into that New Look store now without welling up. Like you say, it's the simple things that can stop you in your tracks isn't it? Thanks for popping by to my little blog!

What a lovely memory you have of that very special day together and, of course, it gave your mum as much pleasure to buy you those things especially the shoes which you didn't think you would be allowed to have. Sometimes something will trigger a memory and a huge rush of emotion overtakes us, doesn't it?<br />I hope 2013 is a good year for you.OhSoVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130228440172446040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-73068594160096683452013-01-02T20:51:01.995+00:002013-01-02T20:51:01.995+00:00Aww thank you Pam, you're very kind xxxAww thank you Pam, you're very kind xxxthriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621095769476921131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-16486622950704637452013-01-02T20:00:04.139+00:002013-01-02T20:00:04.139+00:00I can only manage to say"Oh Claire" with...I can only manage to say"Oh Claire" with a big lump in my throat,you are sooo lovely I bet your Mam would be sooo proud of you.A BIG HUG with love from Pam xx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693591615915574253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-667489664451015742013-01-02T10:05:51.634+00:002013-01-02T10:05:51.634+00:00Hello Alix, thank you for dropping in, and thank y...Hello Alix, thank you for dropping in, and thank you for your kind comments.<br /><br />Claire xxthriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621095769476921131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-36905933260455664242013-01-02T10:01:00.397+00:002013-01-02T10:01:00.397+00:00Hello Jooles thank you for dropping in ... 41 is v...Hello Jooles thank you for dropping in ... 41 is very young isn't it, and I'm sorry about your Dad too.
