BLOG 170


 

 

My main focus this week has been non-creative. Instead it has been emotionally wrapped around the final days of my mother, Doris Osmotherley, who died on Tuesday 8th October. Although it wasn’t entirely unexpected at 97, it was a great shock when it actually happened. My sister, brother and wife and I were with her till the end which will be of some comfort to us eventually when the raw and intense emotions of the occasion subside. She was a good Mam, fiercely proud of her Welshness and amazingly devoted to her extensive family.

She will be greatly missed but lovingly remembered by us all.

    1. Hi Carol and thanks for your support. I think of her now as part of me
      and I am carrying both my parents' genes wherever I go. I take some
      comfort from that.

      that I can confirm how important it is for people to remember me and my sorrow
      in this way.
