My 84 year old Godmother was in town over the Christmas holidays with her husband and daughter. It was nice to catch up with them over a luncheon. She knew my departed mother since elementary school days. She said my mom sewed all her party dresses when they started going out to parties, remembered when she met my dad. Her sister lives nearby but my Godmother had not visited in 4 years due to Covid, so they were happy to fly in from New Jersey. They used to drive but maybe they can do that in the summer weather when they plan to come again.
I am happy we keep in touch.

Human connections are beautiful
It's really nice you were able to connect. Happy new week.
It's nice to keep in touch with old friends, especially your Godmother.
It's wonderful to know someone who has known your mother all their lives. What a gift.
I love that you two have stayed in touch all these years, Christine.
Blessings!
It's always wonderful to experience another's POV of a loved one when they knew her youth and the history of how things were done at a certain decade and age. Such a gift! So glad you had that chat❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a lovely Monday post! Oh, it is so interesting to see how the times were and what our parents were like when they were younger. Awesome about your mother's talented sewing skills. I remember hearing from my a relative how they would see an outfit in Seventeen and they would come up with their own pattern to make a skirt or a dress. It was such a great ingenuity then that is very hard to find now. I hope you guys see each other again.
It's good to have relatives and to keep in touch! Valerie
That is nice and she wull know a lot about your mum too. Always good to keep in touch :-D
That is wonderful.
My Brother called me and said, cousin N had informed him her mother had passed, if I knew who that is. After a lot of thing I realized... it was my Godmother.
She cut contact when I was 14.
So... lucky you!
That must have been a lovely visit Christine. I was very touched to read how she remembered things about your mother. Sounds like a lovely get-together.
It is so nice to keep in touch :)
All the best Jan
