I had an uncle called Cyril, a true Black Country man - also a character. Flat cap, long black overcoat, chain smoker. He lit one cigarette from another and lived into his 90s. <BR/><BR/>One of my aunts married late in life and married a man 10 years older than her, so she wasn't married for very long. She was happy, though.

But it was a very real romance, and her life would have been poorer without it. M xx<BR/><BR/>You're welcome, G.I.M. My Mum's story was a sad one in the end, but they had a lot of happiness too. It was heart-rending at the time. M xx<BR/><BR/>Thank you Aims, it was both a happy and sad time - and he was such an old dear. Yes, I get the loft back, but want it to be empty really - nothing hanging over my head!

It's great to know that real love exists, however sad the outcome. I'm busy sorting out the next lot of plans!

I was away too long and have spent about an hour going back several posts and very entertaining they are too. <BR/><BR/>My mother married the love of her life and was only with him four years before she died. He made her happier than anyone else did and I loved him for that. I could really identify with your story about your mother and the squirrel. Great story and well written - you had me hooked on in there.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036991473828087819.post-32717694678982337102008-03-30T08:39:00.000-07:002008-03-30T08:39:00.000-07:00My heart went out to your Mom - and to you as well...My heart went out to your Mom - and to you as well....Poor sweet man - and to only have such a short time.
