The end of an Era
Thursday 21st Mar There has been several excellent period dramas on TV in recent years. One of my favourites was Downtown Abbey. Mum also enjoyed watching the series. Each week, after the episode was shown, we would discuss our favourite character, the plot, and what we thought was going to happen next. We got as much joy from watching it as those who love their favourite soap opera. Except we knew that period dramas just have a bit more class!Childhood birthday parties
Wednesday 20th Mar Every child loves their birthday, especially when they are having a party and deciding what kind of cake to have. Presents were fun too but the party games just made the day even more fun.Trips to the library
Tuesday 19th Mar For as long as I can remember, my memories of going to the library was always great. Mam loved to read and she definitely encouraged and gave us the love of reading too.Childhood memories
Sunday 17th Mar Growing up as children in Limerick we always went to the St Patrick's Day parade. It was a day filled with lots of happy memories. A day off school to start, followed by a decision on sweets/chocolate were we going to have. This was pure bliss considering we had to give up something for Lent. St Patricks Day always fell in the middle of Lent. For some reason, it was an exception to be allowed break out on that day! Thanks Patrick.Life goes on...
Saturday 16th Mar The alarm clock goes off..another day. School runs, work, kids matches, an appointment, dinner preparation, grocery shopping, whatever the day brings, life goes on. It has to keep on going.In memory of Angela
Thursday 14th Mar It's been almost 6months since our mum died. An aggressive cancer which she battled with for nearly 2 years. Harsh, long and cruel treatments she endured. She suffered a lot during this time. The last two years has been also sad for my family. We lost Maureen, my mum's sister 2 years ago and my 92 year grandmother Mary, their mum, last May. Life always has it's challenges and trials. I can honestly say that my recent grief and sorrow experienced and the loss of family members especially my dear mum has been very raw. I'm a believer that God comforts us in our times of suffering and need. His own son, Jesus, suffered for us all and understands our pain and loss. It's now spring and the daffodils are here to cheer me up when I walk in my garden. It's also approaching Easter, a time of year my mum enjoyed. I remember her every day, in my tears and in my smiles. I am learning enjoy family life, my husband and children and manage my home as always. I'm grateful for my own extended family, especially my dad, sister Claire and brothers David and Andrew. We continue to support one another without mum who loved and cared for her family so deep, it's sad to be living life without her here. Remembering her always and thankful for the love and joy she brought to our lives. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
