Another year has passed and it's 19 years since I last sent a card to my Mum for her birthday. She would have been 98 today. How happy she would be if she was here to see my son settled with a nice girl and her little boy. She would have made such a fuss of the little lad.

Thinking also of Ann in Glos's Mum whose birthday was also today.


I am getting more like my Mum every time I look in the mirror!


Happy Birthday Mum

Lizxx and G.

Treasure your memories Liz.

I understand a bit how you feel because a couple of weeks ago I was feeling the same. Both my parents and a favourite aunt died towards the end of February, my dad 8 years ago and my mum 40 years ago.

Thinking of you today.

Thanks all.

These first weeks of the year are always hard, with my memories of my Dad's death Jan 23rd, 1990, daughter's birth and death Jan and Feb 1974, and my Mum's bday yesterday.
We lost a cousin's son on Feb 1st altho I didn't know him or my cousin as they were from Buckingham. Still I knew of them and had tracked Stephen down a few years ago and spoken to him - he had moved down to Portland and was at last happy in a new relationship.

Whether mums are physically with us or not, they are still with us - if you get my drift.

Mine disappeared suddenly without telling me in 1988. Yet I have been told off by her many times since. And my dear grandma too, who died 1966. They are with us every day, aren't they.

Lovely thread, and love today to Ann and yourself on this special day of remembrance.

You are welcome Ann, you lost your Mum a year before mine died in May 1995 (the day before my brother's birthday and the date before Uzzi's meet in Sheffield).

,Mother's Day is 30th March this year I believe. The same day as the clocks spring forward so a lay in will be a problem for many Mums with youngsters!


Thanks JJ - my mother is with me everytime I look in the mirror!
