Thoughtful thoughts...

In light of the news today about Elizabeth Taylor who died today at 79 years of age, I can't stop thinking about my little mum, she will be 81 this year and I feel so lucky to have her.
She popped round today in her car with no power steering....had a few cuppas and a piece of cake and a natter..

Mum is a very Young 81 year old but things keep going wrong for her, she has battled a lot of sickness over the last 10 years but she keeps bouncing back.

She loves
'PROPER BUTTER'
'A NICE CUP OF TEA'
FISH AND CHIPS
WHITE BREAD
A BIG BREAKFAST
LASAGNE
A GOOD BRITISH ROAST
She has 3 cigarettes a day (which I tell her off for.....)

she is very very special,you see I lost my Dad in 1984 very suddenly, he was always ill but this was very unexpected and very sudden, I miss him like mad, every day......so this makes my mum EXTRA special.

Its sad because we are not cuddly, we don't say the 'L' word but its doesn't matter because we know its there without being said or done, maybe that's why I cuddle my girls to bits....

here she is on her 80th Birthday ,
thanks for reading ..

    I know just how you feel.

    My Mum is 80 this year and luckily I still have my Dad who is 84.

    It was my Birthday on 2nd March and they always ring me to sing Happy Birthday, I have to say this year I really drank it in and have kept it deep in my memory.

    Its scary isnt it.
