She was also the woman that sent me a big box of tea treats that meant so much even in the blurry early days of death .

I was going to put a rant about how lately I’ve felt so angry for not really having a dad for the best part of my life , but there’s no point in that - rather look up ! , so I’d rather tell you that he liked cheese and pickle sandwich ( same as me ) going to the dogs , a digestive biscuit , could drive a bus , hated Maggie thatcher , was happy to have four girls never bothered about boys, black Adder and one of his fav singers was Diana Ross . ✊🏼❤️❤️❤️ Northern soul Track of the day - in your Pjs ! Tainted Love Gloria Gaynor . FYI I got the Madonna ticket ! #northernsoultrackoftheday When you loose someone very close people often don’t know what to say and can say some pretty daft things like She was good age. She’s watching you , Shes at peace now . But mostly it was what people didn’t say or ask that always mad the most impact . These are my mums Elephants , she collected them , she said if the trunk was up it was lucky .
