Wonderful children are the result of parents who care passionately not only about those children, but also about each other and those around them and surround all with an attitude of care and respect. I've read your posts over many years and seen the grounded attitude you have towards such things as dining around a table and spending time as a family - such important things in today's world. Your love and care has reaped its reward in two fine young adults who will pass those values on to the next generation. Many congratulations to you and Shirley on doing such a super job - parents like you deserve a HUGE shout out. xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-1594239547618698962015-10-26T09:54:32.453+00:002015-10-26T09:54:32.453+00:00Thanks Libby.Thanks Libby.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-76085374668457695612015-10-26T09:54:15.192+00:002015-10-26T09:54:15.192+00:00Funny how we remember little things like that - na...Funny how we remember little things like that - nailed in our memories for all time.

My sister and I were terrible to each other sometimes when we were kids, but the older we get, the better we get along, and we have now been great friends for many years.<br />When I was in my early teens, my parents bought a typewriter for my sister to practice typing on, she needed it for her job. It was a very new electronic model, and we couldn't suss it out properly at first. One afternoon, my Dad sat down with it and managed to get it working. He "test-typed" on a sheet of paper which I later found in the bin. He'd typed a brief summary of his life as it was back then, and I nearly cried when I read it, as it mentioned our Mum and my sister and myself in such a loving way.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-14252327587051285862015-10-26T05:09:47.973+00:002015-10-26T05:09:47.973+00:00Where did that little girl in the bright pink sung...Where did that little girl in the bright pink sunglasses go?<br /><br />I can only echo all the comments already listed.<br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-81073386168048897812015-10-26T01:50:00.923+00:002015-10-26T01:50:00.923+00:00Family is so importaint in this world.
