My mother passed 7 years ago at 98.. She was a very sweet reserved lady and I miss her terribly. We spent many hours together in latter years just sitting together having cups of tea and chatting. Those times were very special and it is only after your mum has passed that you realise how glad you are that you had those times together. Now I am enjoying Leanne's company and I always look forward to our lunches and chats, both in person or on the phone.

Sadly, this will be my first Mother's Day without my Mum, as she passed away in September last year.

I don't know if it's an age thing or what to make of it. I just find myself becoming more and more angry that she refuses to find joy in anything anymore and critizees everything and everybody. She was never like this before!Olivia Morris https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-52426313239474209342017-05-12T04:05:20.353+08:002017-05-12T04:05:20.353+08:00I like your sign.
