I was in awe of her youth and beauty (she really is a pretty thing) and I had to really try hard to imagine her as a 'person' before she became Mum. Interesting that you wrote this not long after I too was wondering this very thing, but from the child's persepctive.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598892582207477663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640337113047435688.post-43746608290755556502011-09-18T10:18:47.062+08:002011-09-18T10:18:47.062+08:00Don't apologise for the novel, I always find y...Don't apologise for the novel, I always find your comments thoughtful and interesting!<br /><br />Your parents must be pretty special -- many marriages don't survive the loss of a child.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16561240096806868742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640337113047435688.post-86711091986945449152011-09-18T08:37:04.217+08:002011-09-18T08:37:04.217+08:00Hee hee.

I have always 'known' about the death of my older sister when I was a baby, about their legal battles following her death, about the loss of their home, about their migration to an unknown country with very little...<br />but it's only now I can truly comprehend what amazing people they are and how the traumas of their past have shaped them.<br />Now I 'get' why my birthday was torture for my Mum (it's the day before my late sister's) and am ashamed of my selfish behaviour as a child.<br /><br />Woah - sorry for the novel.<br />Think you may have hit a nerve there!!<br /><br />That your children read your blog is a clear sign that they respect your opinion. That's awesome.<br />:-)Mum on the Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543791863884733714noreply@blogger.com
