Funeral is Monday at 3:30 give her a thought then. and too all those that have passed away and we miss.
thanks to everyone who both knew her or have just kindly sent words of comfort. I am feeling mucgh better now... and will move forward, with her memories.
She used to tell me of nursing D-Day casualties when she was a nurse in WWII - one story always made me think... and perhaps it is where I get my determination from. There was a dance at the local hall for GIs and three of them were black americans. nobody would dance with them, so my mother strode across.. and in her words, "boy, did I get the best deal, three of the best dancers there, and all to myself!"
Unconventiaonal, unafraid, determined and caring... that's my Mum. Bless her!
The final music I have chosen for her funeral is this one - cos she loved to jive, and it brings back this story when she did what others would not.
