Hello beautiful hearts!
hope beating nicely on the rhythm of life . I am sorry if i am being bit late to blogging although i am trying to catch up with your posts and commenting on them thankfully. My mother in law visited after more than one year and stayed for some days with us .It was pleasant experience having her here for some while . She is in her early eighties and doing good .This is shame i could not take photo when she was here. But this is really good that we had some good chats about may things going on in our extended family of in laws. She left yesterday ,i requested her genuinely to keep us visiting in future as well which she promised .She is known as introvert since beginning and hardly get out of her home in her life actually.
After saying her goodbye i missed my mother more and my kids who left home (two elder sons living away from us) this was little sad feeling who kept my heart for a while and that made me stroll old photos from which i am sharing some here ,hope they will interest you too .
while visiting to the malls or restaurants my kids would love to have spicy delicious food
Jasmin flower with sweetest fragrance
old photos that i took when i felt captivated by the beauty of the view or moment
missing children is natural right
Marigold with their dazzling beauty
i feel compelled by the pattern of clouds ,here like painter waved the brush mindlessly
taken during our visit to Neelem valley Kashmir,it was one of the most beautiful thing to experience
this is family photo of my sister which she shared on previous Eid
Enough for now dear friends ,will be visiting you all regularly hopefully !
health ,peace and joy to all of you !
Interesting photos as always, although the first one of the spicy food makes me hungry now! Glad you had a good visit with your mother-in-law and are doing well.
ReplyDeletesuch spicy food gives me chill since i recovered from stomach ulcer dear Debra ,but here i shared this photo because my elder and youngest son would love to have them during outings and despite how i would try to drop the idea of having harmful food at the moment that photo made me sad and happy both at the same time because it awakes memories of shared times together
DeleteIt is good to have visits from relatives. I am happy for you that you had a pleasant visit.
ReplyDeletewe have visits from in law family more often dear Emma though more during winter than summer . My mother in law is extremely introvert and hardly gets out of her home ,i thing i can count her visit to any of her daughter on my few fingers in life time so having her after long time was pleasant .i tried to enjoy this time while having lots of chat with her .i always enjoy visits of relatives thankfully
DeleteSorry you are missing your sons! They have grown up well!
ReplyDeletei try to make my mind stick with positive things dear Christine .where i live it is rare to let children go away and settle separately so everyone asks about this lot but i know what we did is a right and natural way to do it so feeling sad sometimes or missing them is beyond control and natural thing which get adjusted with reason in a while thankfully
DeleteThanks for sharing the beautiful photos. You are such an awesome photographer. I love seeing the clouds too! Great that you saw your mother-in-law. It has been a while since I have seen mine, too. And the stories she tells are always enlightening. I hope you have a great September. All the best to peace and the little things around you...As well, your family and friends.
ReplyDeleteyou are so sweet dear Ellie !
Deletei am glad you liked the photos ,i am far less at clicks than my kids actually ,both elder sons are fine capturer so i keep learning from them ,hubby is also better than me at this
although we live in small city ,life still is busy enough to keep us away from visiting more to relatives but hubby visits his mother regularly once in a week on weekend .i visit her after few months only . my mother in law loves to tell stories as well and i am fond of stories since always :) i have had always loved to hear stories of older people because i think this is the way to learn fast about life and everything they dealt with their wisdom
heartfelt thanks for kind best wishes my friend ,same in my heart for you and loved ones !
What a lovely visit from your MIL. How wonderful to have such a good time together.
ReplyDeletesuch times are priceless no doubt dear Marie because life is short and unpredictable . i had nature of loving everyone around since i was child and it could not change strangely despite all the bitterness of life or negativity i faced from relatives but one thing kept me strong and straight that i never gave reason to any single person around me to be upset with me so whenever people got tired from their self created anger or hate i welcomed them with open heart .i am happy she visited me just like i was happy when my own brother visited me after more than thirty years . it was fifth visit of my mother in law to us since we moved here before 17 years ago
DeleteSad that families cannot visit each other as much as they would like.
ReplyDeletei entered in phase dear Red when i have realized how heavy and sad one feels when fear of being "left alone" occupies heart .this is terrible and piercing but i am sure time will heal this by the grace of good Lord!
DeleteWonderful to have your mother in law visit and stay with you, and doing so well for her age too, that's really good.
ReplyDeleteWe all miss our sons, they grow up and do their own thing, that's life but we still miss them...take care Baili.
my mother in law is strong lady by the grace of Allah dear Margaret !
ReplyDeleteshe is in her early 80s but she is doing good thankfully with her good health condition .i think if she was more social she would have even better mental health as she has started to forget and repeat things since sometime
i agree that once kids are grown they have right to pursue their dreams and achieve what they can in life . we are content and happy proud parents despite it hurts sometimes more to not have them close
love!
A sweet story of your mother-in-law's visit. :) Glad she got to come see you.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that temple behind your son? It is amazing! I can not imagine how they built things like that so long ago.
The food looks yummy!
It was a delightful surprise for me as she has not been visiting any of her family members dear Sandi.i think we could make some very nice memories as she stayed for some days.
ReplyDeleteI am unable to remember the name of the place where he took this photo but I remember he went there to skie with friends and on my query he mentioned that the temple was memorial belong to some Saint
Thanks for the lovely collection of photographs.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them dear Kathy
DeleteI am sure that you husband also appreciated that his mother came to visit and stayed for a few days. Maybe, she will not wait as long between future visits. Making memories is always what we do when family and friends we do not see often come to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a gifted soul who love to keep in touch with all family and friends dear Dorothy
ReplyDeleteHe was very happy to have his mother for some days. I can totally relate to his joy as just like him I too would be utterly happy when my own mother would visit us when she was alive.
We have this common nature of love for our families and we both have shared our love with each other 's families as well specially moms.
I believe she will be visiting us more compared to past because if she won't we will try to bring her here once in a while
How nice to have your mother in law visit and stay with you.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs you've shared, special memories that stay with you.
Sending my good wishes.
All the best Jan
Beautiful photos of special memories :-)
