Thank you all.

My mother died in 1961, and my Dad in 1971, I barely remember Mum now and have to think hard about things that we did together. I do miss her though.

The one thing that I do is forget the actual date that relations and close friend died, month and year yes, dat no.

So it was a bit of a shock back in the '90s when a cousin sent me a photograph of Mum and Dad's headstone and I saw that my daughter was born on the same date as my mother died.

Very strange, and daughter does show some traits of the grandmother she never knew.

Today, August 9th, would have been my older brother's 93rd birthday.

The photograph shown at left was taken 1 week before he died in September 1991.

He was due to go into hospital 1 week after he died for exploratory surgery to determine the best treatment for heart problems, but he had stopped taking the prescribed pills for angina.

I still miss him 30+ years later. :-(
