Wow Peatle, an amazing lady and it brought tears to my eyes reading about her upbringing and childhood. So sad a beginning and yet out of all that, came an amazing woman! Very special lady.
With regards to my mum ........ she is dearly loved and was a wonderful mum who was my best encourager in life and was always there for me in every way. She loved us kids all to bits and I love her to bits as well. Though she still lives at the age of 84 years old, she has very bad dementia, can hardly hold a conversation and is very sad a lot of the time. I live 7 and 1/2 hours away from where she is in a home, up near my father. I see her when i can get up but being that far away, I cant just pop up regularly to go see her sadly. So though she is still with us, she isn`t in away and it makes me sad. I miss her very much and our long chats, I miss her laughter and smile.
