But recently it has been invaluable. My Beloved Dad passed away in Feb and I had only been speaking to him two hours earlier. He had just sung me happy Birthday. So now that I am back in Australia I can still look after my Mam. She cant hide how she is feeling as I can read her face. She can see my face when I tell her that i love her. I have noe made a set regular time with her and all my freinds know never to interrupt me at that time . it's sacred. it does make the miles seem so much smaller. And that actually came from my very own dad's mouth.

Going to send you a lovely thought about Mum's in general.

Hi Tracey,

Glad I achieved something. See you next Monday. Wait till you see what I've done to my face. Burnt the cheeks off myself with hot oil. Don't you just love me and want to be me. NOT:D
