Half Term…...

It is the half term week when the kids are off and things take a slower pace, the roads are less busy and one can relax a bit. However, its not so for me, work continues, including travel to Hertfordshire tomorrow and a meeting in London with my brother and brother-in-law (Folashade's husband).

Me

I have come across some Summer snaps taken by my sister-in-law, my brother's wife, capturing the lives of my nieces and my mother's birthday. One of the pictures is one of me and my mother and it captures how so much I resemble her, the smile and the use of facial gestures to give a hint or two to ones mood.

Each day i remind myself of the selfless and remarkable sacrifice of the woman, my mother, she really is the topmost of all human beings! My twin sister never made her forget it and was incredibly close to her. I do wonder how she is coping, but i know that the gift of my twin's children is what sees her through on a day to day basis. There is a lot for us to celebrate.

This life is so short and we can waste it or live it to its fullest, I know what my choice is!
