My Mum was born on the 25th January 1917 so last week she would have been a hundred years old.

| My parents on their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1990 |
She was the second child and elder daughter of a Lincolnshire farmer and she lived all her life in this county. She married a friend of her brother and together my Mother and Father had my sister and me. They were married over fifty five years but the last eleven years of her life she was a widow,
She lived with me for the last two years of her life as she became wheelchair bound and she died in my arms in 2006.
That's just the bare bones of a life well lived. Thank you, Mummy
Bless your mom's memory. My DM would have been 99 on February 7th. So much has changed since their generation was in the world. But as you know better than I, love never grows old and never dies.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from Best Bun.
