Mother and Daughter Bond

Mother and Daughter Bond

I am 50 years old this year and I still receive care packages from my parents in Montreal. As some of you may know they are my 'Great Canadian Pickers' they spend 3 seasons souring the garage sales and estate sales to get me the best silver plate items for me to recycle. I could not do it without them because I just don't have the time. I don't tell them enough how much it means to me. ( love you mom and dad and thank you xoxo) When a box of silver comes in there is always a little treat. Sometimes it is a box of Quebec maple syrup ( liquid gold ) or a little bird for my garden or a cute top that my mom found in a garage sale that she knows  I will love. So at Christmas time there was a heavy box that came filled with 4 cans of maple syrup, candies, recipes cut out from a magazine ( my mom loves her magazines- I always tell her that she can get any recipe that she wants on the 'Google box' but she still love her magazines.) As I unpacked the box there was another box of cookies I just figured that they 're-gifted' them to me. But inside was the most special gift. A hand knit sweater from my mom. It was so lovingly folded with tissue , extra wool and buttons and the best part was the tag which she added a few special words with a pen. It fits me like a glove. We live miles apart and don't see each other often but she still knows me. I guess you are always your mothers baby. Since losing my only sibling some time ago I have formed a wall around myself so that when I will face losing another important person in my life it will hurt less. This gift really touched my heart. My mom has always bean a knitter and sewer and she taught me something I will always cherish. We used to tease her because she would knit at night while ' watching TV '  and often she would fall asleep with her knitting needles in hand, she could doze off for minutes at a time and all you had to do was nudge her and she would wake up and continue exactly where she left off never missing a stitch. These are some of the many special memories that I will always carry in my heart.
Thank you mom, I love you with all  my heart.xo
