Honoring My Mom With A Small Teacup
Hi All – Not only is this teacup the smallest ever on Teacup Tuesday, it’s also the smallest post ever!
In Memoriam
This post is to honor my beautiful mother.
Last Saturday she died. She was over 90 years old, and ready to go. It was quick and peaceful, and all the things you could hope for, for someone you love.
This little demitasse cup was hers. She loved it particularly because it had come to her from her mother. I’m so happy to be continuing the chain of mother to daughter caretaking of this darling teacup.
If she’s watching, I know she’ll be so tickled to see her cup on the blog. I hope she is!

Oh Barbara’s I’m so sorry. Even if it’s expected I know it’s still a loss. It’s so nice you are continuing the tradition. A third generation teacup that’s special. We missed you so much in Waco.

Dear Barbara,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom – she sounds like a remarkable woman! What a beautiful tribute you have given her, and how lucky you have the memories that can be passed down to your children. The demitasse cup is lovely and so precious to remember her by. Take care and my thoughts are with you.
Oh Kim thank you! She really was amazing – she would have loved your beautiful garden! ???? I AM so lucky to have been her daughter and to have so many memories! 🙂 Thanks so much for the thoughts!
Hi Barbara,
I am so sorry about your mother. as someone who has been there, I can totally relate. You have to believe that she is in a better place now, and that she is watching over you and your love ones. She will always be with you through the memories you created together. The teacup is a perfect example, and will always be a constant reminder of the bond you shared. I will keep you in my prayers, stay strong, and stay safe!

Thank you so much Shannon! ???? She had only been sick for a week or so – it was kind of a shock. But she was ready and I’m happy she’s not in pain anymore. I so appreciate you being here – thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and hugs!
