Thank you..yes, a tricky day. Apparently, lots of the mums in the village put their bunches of flowers on Mum's grave...one with a note saying 'you were a mum to us all'. Very touching. My father's birthday, also..
She was a surrogate Mum to a lot of young mothers...she started a thing called Church Mice..mother and baby drop in session. It proved a huge success and many said it saved them from PND...

ReplyDeleteI'm sure it did. We all need support from someone like your Mum in those transitional times of life.
