Julie, you took me along, I envisaged myself in that space. It's so important to get those moments, especially when we're helping our loved ones who are hurting. That's called self care. Please remember to take as many of those moments as you can. Many of us are great at taking care of others, and pushing our 'selves' to the back of the que. It takes one to know one.

Big hugs to you and your beautiful Mum and family.

So beautiful. I sent it to my daughter’s disabled dad who is from Yorkshire-Halifax specifically. He loved it! Thx for your thoughtful writing

Ancestors were likely poor . Both my parents were orphaned fairly early in life so ancestral info was not really available. BUT, being somewhere else during these times is a definite yes please!
