68

She's been gone a long time... Today is her 68th birthday.

A mother's love for the child of her body differs essentially from all other affections, and burns with so steady and clear a flame that it appears like the one unchangeable thing in this earthly mutable life, so that when she is no longer present it is still a light to our steps and a consolation. - W H Hudson

Happy Birthday Mum. Miss you every day.
