Oh Helen so sorry I made you cry, that poem always makes me cry when I read it. My daughter sent it to me when she was eighteen on 'Mothers day', I don't know who the author is but will take a look. We love our kids unconditionally and we always will.
((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))
Love Maryxxxx
They were pleasant tears, Mary.......just hope they don't remove the concealer on my chin, lol, the bruise is scarily blue and purple! (for full confession, see previous page!)
Moomy
Oh dear Helen, I do hope the bruise soon fades. Love and hugs to you and Caz. She is an amazing young lady. Such a credit to you. I hope that her bloods improve sufficiently for her to have her next treatment whenever it is due.
Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia x x x p.s. what are you rehearsing for?
My rehearsals are for this Thursday's lunchtime concert at the Open University, the choir puts on a concert every term, plus a Christmas concert. this one has three works, Mozart Vespers, a piece by Jacob Handl and a piece by Lauridson which are both unaccompanied, the Mozart has 4 soloists and small orchestra as well. Last night it went pretty well......
Caz and I had an email chat about the Lauridson, it has scrunchy chords in it which she loves, and she had already fallen in love with it, having caught it being performed on the radio, had downloaded it from iTunes and also bought the copy, she had played it one evening when I was there, I was only half listening but thought I knew it.....
love and hugs to all
