Memories of My Mum and Me

Thinking of years gone by of my mum a real friend to me, a real support always there in my stammering struggle what would I have done without her comfort Every Saturday morning we went to our town on the bus together we spent quality time the first stop was for tea and bacon roll I had a hot orange drink as tea didn't rhyme In those days the waitress was real smart dressed in black with a white apron on front this was a large department homeware store with a tearoom at the top, a real long hunt My mum on a Tuesday went to the coffee club in Bank Street, took me when on my summer hols she always had a lemon meringue pie with her white coffee in a beautiful cup These were lovely memories of my mum she passed away suddenly of a heart attack in 1981, so never saw me getting married being adopted was I for she kept me on track (Just thinking of my mum of those years ago and how a great friend and conmfort she was to me.)

Lovely memories Gordon. It reminds me of my trips once a month with my mom to pay bills. We would ride the bus downtown and stop at Walgreens for lunch which was always the fish platter. Great job her. God Bless, JB

Happy memories my friend Gordon from your childhood days of you and your mom My Dad was the best Dad in the world, he did anything for me - he knew Elias but died years before we got married. Elias has one regret, that he didn't get to know my father better. My Mom was great, but after my Dad died she was depressed, angry and grumpy, still I loved her, but her grandson, my son, could not forgive her completely for some of the things she said and did. Very sad!. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
