My Mum (Mom) and I
This is one of my favourite photos of my Mum and I and is how I would like to remember her.
My Mum was always immaculate in her appearance and would spend hours with her hair. I remember going to the hairdressers this day to have my hair styled, but I didn't like it.
Having just celebrated the 80th anniversary of VE Day, my mind is taken back to what my Mum used to tell me about being evacuated from London to the countryside and I cannot imagine what she went through.
My father had TB and was in hospital during the war so could not go into active service.
Sadly he died at the age of 45 from cancer. My mother missed him terribly after 20 years of marriage (as did I) and never really came to terms with her life without him, although she lived into her 80s..
