Subject: [guide.chat] Me and my mum
Good evening all
I would love to share with you all the lovely things me and my mum did together
before she took terminal ill with stomach cancer in 2007.
Well me and my mum were very close. We always did things together like putting
the washing out on the line although being blind mum would never allow me to
get lazy no way
she use to walk behind me out of back door with my hand along the wall.
Once at corner I stopped I would feel for the weely bin then knew then I had
to slowley walk around that bin then hold on to another wall till we came to
her lounge window
Mum then got hold of my arm and take me up on the grass and say right carol
push that sheet over the line then peg it.
I felt good because taking part in helping mum
she is called violet elazebeth
anyway once washing was hun on line she took me back.
We would go in kitchen I would sit on stool chatting while mum was cooking the
tea loved it.
I buttered the bread while she was peeling the spuds
she then told me to go in her dining room to set the table for 4.
our James and mathew were eating on the big coffee table in lounge then
me julie and wayne always sat at table
oh loved getting involved.
mum then would tell me to take serviettes in .
wow she kept me busy.
WHEN Saturday came i loved it my favourite day as mum would phone me tell me
she is coming to fetch me to go on our local market as it was great then
I got ready got my money

Every tuesday and thursday my mum called to my flat for cakes and cuppa.

We always went to visit my aunties and uncle for cuppa
Julie and wayne were never in always out with the kids
doing their own things
I used to go to mums every Friday to look after James and mathew mum always put
us nice tea up while julie and wayne went out
mum played cards with me and the boys on coffee table.
she would give us all kinds of cakes and drinks then me and mum chatted while
kids wer up stairs on their play station.
