Ken very kindly asked if I would like to turn from webmaster to blog writer in dedication to my mum, who died on Sunday 29th January 2023. The photo above is with her 6th grandchild, Precious-Rose. She loved all her grandchildren and great grandchildren all the same, it was just especially lovely for mum as Precious-Rose was the only one that myself and her got to be in our lives from birth. My dad died a long time ago, but had bad mental health for 20 years before he died. Mum cared for him all those years and never once complained or stopped loving him. The make of what a fantastic women she was. As much as I am missing her so much, because they both believed and gave their lives to the Lord, they are now together, whole and without pain, bad health or fear. Ken suggested I put a poem on this blog, and I was struggling to find something, then I remembered the text I got from my daughter after she told my granddaughter about my mum dying. She loved Nanny Carol as much as mum loved her, so I thought what better way to remember mum than by putting the text on this blog. Keeps me smiling that’s for sure.

At the end of the day, mum gave so much of her heart to others all her life, she forgot to save some for herself.

Love,

PJ
