Bring Flowers of the Rarest

30th April 1988 ... My life was the same as the day before ... by 4am the following day my mum passed away suddenly. 23 years ago today I found myself travelling a road I thought was many years away. In the space of a couple of hours I lost so much, that up until then I (like many) had taken for granted.

I can't believe how quickly time has flown and I wonder about those lost 23 years. I lost my mum ... my mum lost her daughter. Both didn't want the other to go. One lives in spirit ... the other lives in the spirit of her memory.

Our lives are like flowers - fragile and fleeting. They give great beauty ... and like the blossom of May gone too soon.

This Blip is dedicated to my mum 1944 - 1988
