My Mum would have been 50 on July 18th. But she died when I was 4 and my sister was 2 (ovarian cancer) and I hardly remember her. Odd scenes of course like paddling in a stream with her and her washing my hair. My sister doesn't remember Mum at all. It must have been really hard for Dad in the early years even with a house keeper to help him. She did lots for us both, far more than she was ever paid for, but it's not the same as having a proper Mum around. Dad will remember why the 18th is special but I wonder who else will?
