Both poems you mention did not make the grade Eve. Still, that gave me licence then to add the photo above. I miss her strength behind me.

If she were alive she would have been 90 yesterday Susan. She left us 8 years ago. An amazing woman, she was conferred a degree in Humanities at 70 years of age! She had to wait until all 7 of us were up and running before she could start.

How sweet! when is her Birthday? I can always know it's the beginning of April by my decorative pear tree's blossoming.

Good evening Tom. Isn't it crazy that when we think of them we are a child again?

Her birthday is tomorrow Vijay. If only she was still with us. It's a beautiful reminder of her.
