Aww, thanks so much for those immensely kind words Sir Stephen! While I'm not always the most positive person (Lady Denise, aka @dswigle currently wears the Pollyanna crown - and I can prove it even if she technically came in second 😊), I do try and for that very same reason.
And oh no! Such a young age to go, and I'm guessing you were pretty young as well. I'm so sorry to hear that. As I know the clock is long past midnight where you are, happy birthday to your dearly departed mom.
Thank you Lady Tracy, I was 27 at the time, employed at Royal Baking Powder as their factory maintenance foreman where I recieved the news. My left leg in plaster, as I had a very bad motorbike accident the year before.
Funny thing is the following year 1982, still in plaster, I was summoned to bury my estranged father. He was 3 years older than my mom.
As the only son, with 2 sisters, I was always the man in the house, from small performing the manly tasks such as making the daily fire in the cast iron stove, haggling with the coal merchant in his donkey cart about coal prices, chopping wood etc, etc.
Maybe you and Lady @dswigle must start a community and call it "Positive and Loving Hearts" hahaha.
"Only for positive Hive ladies and those that want to learn how to be positive" lol.
Hey, hey, hey!!! Don't you be talking smack about me when I am not looking!
@papilloncharity and @traciyork! :)

Ah! Lady Denise, so you are eardropping on our "skindering" conversations??????Lol.
Don't worry, you are forgiven hahaha.
One has to be careful where one drops that famous @dswigle tag.
