Today would have been your 82nd birthday and somehow it feels harder this year than the past two years that you are not here. I wish you could see what I am doing and impart some words of wisdom, I feel so sad that you cannot see what a wonderful little girl Chloe is turning out to be, how keen Nick is on cooking and baking, what a fine young man Xander is growing into and how determined Sophie is to achieve her goals. There are so many things I wish I could ask you about, photographs I would love to put names to, items I remember growing up with that I would love to know the story behind, and most of all I would love you to teach me how to make those wonderful pancakes of yours without them being burnt on the outside and raw in the middle! It is true when they say you never know what you have got until it is gone.
Happy Birthday Mum
