Missed

It will be ten years this year that she has been gone, though she is in my heart every day. Today would have been her 94th birthday

a very happy grandmother

I am so glad she didn't have to fear this thing. I phoned my aunt this week on her birthday; she and Mum shared the same birth year. I felt her despondency; when life is burdensome enough the isolation and lack of "normal" feels just too much to bear. I hope my call gave her some small pleasure

    My sympathies. This sort of time brings loss back to mind.
