What a beautiful tribute to your mother. The more I read about her I find myself wanting to learn more about her life.

Thinking of her - and you - today!

"Katy married the wrong man - a handsome young soldier who had no dreams to speak of, no drive, no plan… and an inordinate love of drink. " I've known a few similar cases, and two of them had very negative outcomes, Your mother must have been made out steel and a fighter. But, I also know she looks down upon you and she's proud you're her daughter!

Sharron, this post is everything to me today. What a terrific tribute.

'She said she was going to live forever.' And she does. In her words, in your words, and in your heart. Heck, in my own heart too - because over the months that I've been reading The Katy Memoir, part of her has pitched camp right in it. ♥️

'Brave and kind' is an incredible combination. I've just written those words inside the front of my journal. xxx
