Here's my mum as a little girl.
Today, she's 80 years young.
I called round this morning to take her cards and presents. Unfortunately, she isn't up to celebrating, her arm's still Black and Blue and she's still in a lot of pain with it. We'll make sure that we do lots of celebrating when she feels better.
Happy birthday, Mum.
Ahh that is a shame Jo but I am sure she appreciated you coming around this morning and will make up for it when she is feeling better.

My mum was really pleased to see me this morning. We'll definitely have to celebrate her 80th once she's fighting fit again.
DeleteHappy birthday to your mum we share the same birthday but not the same year. Sad to hear she is still suffering.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you. I hope you have a lovely day. I was actually born on my Nana's birthday so it was a double celebration in our house.
DeleteHappy birthday to your mum. I'm sorry to see that her arm is still painful and hope that it gets better soon. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteHer arm is still very bruised but it does look as though it's getting a bit better, but it's still so painful. It's very scary to think what medication that's supposed to help you can do to you.
DeleteDeep bruising stains the skin too. After j had a very bad skiing accident the bruising was still visible months later. Hope your mum has had a good day and is up to celebrating properly soon. xx
DeleteIt looks like my mum's arm will take some time to get back to normal. She enjoyed her birthday at home and I'm sure we'll get to celebrate properly when she feels a bit more up to it.
DeleteHappy birthday to your Mum, so sorry she is still in pain and not up to celebrating, what a lovely cute photo too xcx
ReplyDeleteThis is the only photo we've got of my mum as a child. I think that Eleanor was very like her when she was around the same age.
DeleteHappy birthday to your mum, I hope she's feeling better and up to celebrating very soon xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wish she'd let me speak to the doctor for her as she really needs some stronger painkillers, but she won't hear of it. She's fiercely independent.
DeleteHope she's feeling better soon, you're so lucky to still have your Mom.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful to still have both my mum and dad. I think you become aware as you get older that they won't be here forever so I never take them for granted, they're brilliant parents and we're very close.
DeleteHappy birthday to your mum! Hope she feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I didn't realise how long it would take for all the bruising to subside and for the pain to let up, I hope it doesn't take much longer.
DeleteHappy birthday to your Mum! Sensible to celebrate when she's well enough!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my mum will enjoy her celebrations when she's feeling better, she's still very much under the weather at the moment.
DeleteHappy 80th birthday. Hope she feels completely better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's certainly taking its toll on her.
DeleteHappy birthday Jo's mum!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear she didn't feel up to celebrating today, but I know you'll all have fun when she's ready for it!

Thank you. We went round again last night to spend some more time with her. She enjoyed the company, but we'll definitely get round to doing something a little more special when she's ready.
DeleteHappy birthday Jo's Mum. Although I don't know her, we are sending lots of love and huggles and also hope she feels a lot better soon. You take care too!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Daniel rang her from uni to wish her a happy birthday so she was really pleased to hear from him, little things like this made her day, but we'll celebrate properly when she feels better.
DeleteHappy birthday to your mum, Jo. I hope her arm feels better really soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly taking its time to heal, I'm hoping that the pain starts to subside soon.
DeleteA lovely photo of your Mum as a child. I'm so sorry to hear that she's not well with this painful arm and the health problem and medication can be sorted.and stabilised. Mums are very precious as is any family member and I hope you can enjoy celebrating your Mum's birthday when she feels a lot better.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo, it's the only one we have of my mum as a child. It's been a bit of a worry seeing my mum in so much pain and the arm being as bruised as it has been, but I'm hoping that it will all get sorted out soon so that she's back to normal. I think the birthday celebrations will be worth waiting for.
DeleteWhat a lovely photo....I do love old photos. Happy Birthday to your mum.........I hope shes up to celebrating soon.
ReplyDeleteI love old photos too, I wish we had more of them. I'm hoping that the pain my mum's suffering will ease soon so that we can get on with her birthday celebrations, she just wasn't up to going out yesterday but it will be nice to treat her once she's feeling better.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your Mum!! I hope that her arm is back to normal soon and that she can celebrate and have a great time. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm sure the celebrations will be worth the wait.
DeleteThat's such a lovely photo of your mum, Jo, she looks like she has a cheeky glint in her eye! Happy 80th birthday :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. She does, she reminds me so much of Eleanor when she was around the same age.
DeleteI'm so sorry your mum is in pain, but a very Happy Birthday to her! And much love to you! Tammy
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm hoping that the pain will soon go now, she's had it for some time. It's a bit of a waiting game.
DeleteOh I do hope she's soon properly mended, how rotten to have such problems on your birthday!
ReplyDeleteIt was disappointing that we couldn't celebrate properly on the day, but it's something to look forward to once she's well again.
