special days in October

[Marian]

Pleased to hear that your Mum and Dad and you get your jabs for free Eman, although it sounds as if they don't do you much good! I hope you'll be fine this year. Also pleased to report my cold had cleared up now:D
Lovely photo of you and your Mum on facebook.

Thanks Marian.

Today is my mum's seventh anniversary. The years have gone by so fast I can hardly believe it.

As yesterday was such a beautiful day I drove up to the cemetery but today seems very nice too.

[Eman]

Hi Karl, go visit your Mum again today. Weather here seems nice but my allergies are really bad

[karl]

Whatever happened to Len & Freda who started this thread? I've never seen any posts from them since I joined.

Sorry I am a day late Karl, thinking of you on your Mum's anniversary.

Len passed away,maybe a couple of years ago, I think it was on a Christmas Day--Freda posted once or twice after, but i guess she found it just too hard, without Len around.

What a sad day to lose anyone. My granny died on an Easter Sunday and one of my American cousin's husband very suddenly on January 1st several years ago. I met him at a family wedding in Ohio - what a nice man he thanked me for giving his wife Pat and her friends such a great time when they visited here.

Yes, it was awful--especially as many of us had seen them both at the "Friends Reunited" meetings n Hayes..

Marian, Len passed away over 4 years ago

[karl]

In that case it must have been very soon after they started this thread as it's dated October 1 2009.

[mariana44]

It was Christmas day.

[ROBERT M.]

In the opening post (2009), Freda says that it is her first on her own since she lost her soulmate Len

[mariana44]

Freda started trhis on her own, afer Len died--which is why there may be some confusion about dates.

I see I mentioned my friend Kathleen near the start of this thread. She is going on, and recently celebrated her 104th birthday!
