What a wonderful way to remember her! It reminds of the movie One Way Passage. I'm sorry for your loss.Today would have been my mother's 96th birthday.She died last year, April 2nd. She drank vodka every day and drank vodka martinis when she went out. My sister and I stopped in a bar this afternoon to celebrate her birthday with her favorite drink. We had the bartender make one for her. My sister and I don't drink so it was mostly a symbolic gesture, and we enjoyed reminiscing about fun times together.
Switched to my mini Bennett for the occasion.

I thought since we were going to toast my mom with her favorite drink, it was only appropriate that I carry my favorite color.Such a lovely and perfect way to remember your Mom on this Mother’s Day
I'm so sorry for your loss!
I'm sorry for your loss as well.

To your Mom.
Thank you Whateve, Minda, House, Muchstuff, Kimbashop, Naranz, and Molly!
My mom lived in Atlanta with my brother. My sister had a flight for March 15th and I was going to follow her a couple of weeks later. It was to allow my brother and his wife as much down time as possible since they had been taking such great care of my mom, which required almost all day attention. The weekend before my sister's flight the Bay Area went on Lockdown because of covid and Dr Fauci discouraged flying for people over 60, especially flights over an hour. We wrestled with our decision but decided as a family it was best for everyone that we didn't take the four hour flight to Atlanta, for our health and to prevent us from possibly bringing covid to my brother's house. So we didn't get to say goodbye, or have a memorial service for her.
But yesterday was not about being sad. It was about sharing stories and laughing about things we haven't thought about in a while.
Happy Mother's Day to all the women who take care of their family, and to those women who share their compassion, skills, and knowledge with someone in need.

Many of you have already seen this bag on a couple of the Coach threads. My new to me (and really like new) vintage, genuine alligator, made in Italy clutch!
I hope to actually carry this out today and not just up and down the stairs.
