One great aunt lived to be 96. My mother used to pump her for information: "And so&so married such&such, didn't they?" "Yes, dear, I think so" my aunt would quaver. If I hadn't been of the seen and not heard generation, I'd have bound and gagged my mother and bundled her into the cupboard under the stairs. All those leading questions meant that I couldn't trust any of my aunt's answers. I know so much more now and how I would have loved to have teased out a few extra stories. We never asked what Christmas was like when she was small, or if she enjoyed school, and now never can. B |

Yes, thats what I mean about my Dad. I think of all the times I went glazed when he was doing his war stories. Feel guilty about it now he is 91 and I bless every day I still have him. |
