Remembrance Day

I listened to the Remembrance Day service on the radio this morning. This year all I could think of was Mum, of the stories she told of being a child in WWII; the bombings and the terrifying sound of Doodlebugs flying overhead, praying that the engine kept going and they didn't hear the sickening whistle after the engine stopped and the bomb fell from the sky.

Mum passed away on the 29th of August this year, it was the saddest day my family has ever had to face. The 30th of August would have been Mum & Dad's 54th wedding anniversary. 54 years is a very long time to love someone. Mum had an endless supply of love.

I thought of Mum & Dad, and all those who have lost someone special, listening to The Book of Love, the crying didn't stop for a long time.

Mum always looked for the bright side, so on a happier note Mum left me a gift. It's a priceless gift, it will take a long time to unwrap & I hope it will last my whole life.
