FROM MOTHER TO DAUGHTER:

I wrote this to my daughter (above)
after she sensed my fear at this time.
She gave me a pep talk which I took notice of:
(Picture many years ago)
 
FROM MOTHER TO DAUGHTER.....
I OWE IT TO.....
 
I owe it to your dad,
To be the person he knew.
He was a womderful man.
Men like him are few.
 
I owe it to my son John,
To prove I can be a better mum.
Life's not the same without him
Not so much fun.
 
I owe it to you and Rob(eldest son)
Both of you have suffered much.
It breaks my heart what you've both endured.
Your plights my heart have touched.
 
I also owe it to myself.
That first small step to take.
To make me a better person.
For yours and my own sake.

      My daughter is a daughter to be proud of, totally disabled now yet she put me to shame with her outlook on life.

    Lovely photo and poem, Yvonne. It's difficult to be strong, but we are all stronger than we think. We canceled our trip to Hawaii to be on the safe side. Please take care of you! Sending you a big hug!

    For no reason at all, I chose random blogs to click on from the IWSG list... And what a surprise! Yvonne, I don't know if you remember me, probably not, but I remember you and your wonderful poems! I used to follow your blog (I think you had a different one, because I don't remember unfollowing anyone). This made me smile! I hope you have a great day as well. I'm so glad I clicked on your blog and found your beautiful writings again!

    That's lovely. I showed it to my old woman and she had a tear in her eye.
