Thanks for sharing the touching sentiment, Joe. How wonderful that you have such a beautiful tranquil garden to visit, knowing the joy it brought to your Mom. Loved seeing your Mom and sister walking in the midst of such beauty. Thanks for sharing the story and photos.

This post is in memory of my mom, Frances, who passed away at age 98+ in 2019. She was an incredible life force and "the friend of a lifetime" as someone who writes way better than I do referred to his own mom.

These photos are from a little gem of a place called Shiojiri Niwa, a Japanese garden in the center of Mishawaka, IN. Mom and I went here every year, sometime twice. It was always so lovely and peaceful - which is why I enjoyed sharing our time together there.

Mom's not around, but I love her more than ever, and, if anything, the passing of time seems to make that even more powerful! The last ten days when I have been posting pictures like crazy on UHH, I have felt her presence next to me. This has been a magnificent blessing since the love of flowers is something that we both had in common, and its sharing brought us even closer 💓

I hope you all enjoy!

Joe, your Mom was lucky to have had a son who loved her so much, and she in turn must have been a great Mom to be receiving such love. I was lucky enough to have had my Mom till I was seventy, and I still think of her every day.

My condolences on the loss of your mother.

Mine passed at the age of 78 from the aftereffects of Lymphoma, breast Cancer, and finally lung cancer that metastasized to her throat.

If you are like me, you think of her constantly enjoying the good times during your life with her.

Thanks for posting this.

So sorry for your loss!! How wonderful that she saw 98 years on this earth!

Nice photos of that beautiful locale!! I wish the botanical gardens here had a Japanese garden; they are truly beautiful and serene.

I hope your mom's presence remains with you.

Mom is always with me, and that zen garden has such an atmosphere of peace, it is unreal 🌈

I live in Jacksonville (N.E.Florida) and it is still quite pleasant although last week was wet and dreary! I have several feeders scattered around our back yard and the birds are around all year long. The hummers have left for the winter but will be back in the spring. Our winters are mild compared with where you live. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
Cheers,
Brian


You live in a paradise (except for the humidity), and I hope you have a great holiday as well, Brian🤓
