Oh yes. Sending love.

(Maybe time to revisit the idea of doing something with my dad's modest set of medals?)

Several of them are. And I have a very sweet relationship with someone who wishes she'd known about my mum earlier. These things are different for everyone of course ( and you'll do what's best for you!) but I can't help but regret the secrets, the lost time.

In the last few years, I've identified my mother's birth parents (DNA test...) and although she's dead and will never know, her grandchildren and g-grsndchildren know. What they make of it is theirs to decide and for me, it's part of a complicated story. I wish things had been different for her...

Always remembered. Thank you for this.

Sigh!

Honestly, is this headline for real? What century is this?

I saw one of these in Portugal two days ago!

This is a really measured review, an intelligent reading and response to your fine book!

Looked in the middle of the night (Portugal). Sigh.

In London tonight and did not see one kid dressed up as a long-dead PM or even a current one.
