Mum ( Nanny Flo) at approx 18years
This term” when I get my angel wings” she used to use when she would speak of dying, She would rarely mention getting older or dying and I guess in her mind , she wasn't getting older as she was always full of life and ready to do any new adventure that came her way so dying wasn't something she would talk about. Whether she really thought about it I never knew.
Mum in later years,probably about 65 I guess, trying a new adventure.She seemed to enjoy it.
We could always remember Mum's birthday when we lived in England as it nearly always coincided with the first day of Spring and occasionally fell on Mother's day in England as well. We continued to send her Mother's day cards but I never felt she understood why her Mother's day card came so late. When she got the card in May ( Mother's day in USA) she would mention nasty things about the post office being late again thinking the card should have come in March. Every time I would explain but I never seem to get through to her and by the next year we would have the same conversation.

So Mum, where ever you are using your angel wings, please know on this day Mother's Day 2016, I remember you with much love and affection and think of you often.
