Sunday Blog 184 – 11th May 2025
Can a long, bright shadow be a thing?
If so, that’s what my Mum cast over my life, leaving a trail of constructive kindness and unconditional acceptance.
Not to mention whimsical remnants of 1940s teen slang such as “I’m all gog-wozzled” when she was overwhelmed, confused, tired, temporarily deranged. With six children under the age of eight, she often was.
I shared Mum with five siblings, numerous nieces and nephews, grand-children and great-grandchildren, cousins, great-nieces and nephews, friends – the list goes on. And her long, bright shadow shone on us all.
Happy first heavenly Mother’s Day Mum. We sure do miss you down here.
