Mum and Daddy
Below is a picture of my parents, now you know where I got my good looks, and blue eyes from;) They are amazing.
Mum is 93 years old, has all her marbles, a tad deaf, and I can’t keep up with her.
Daddy left us in April, 1995, a very said day for everyone, he was funny, emotional, knowledgeable, loved Ice Cream, Fish and Chips, and gave great whisker burn hugs.
My parents were ahead of there time in so many ways. They have been computer literate since the 1970’s. Retirement for them was travelling the world, sailing, golfing, family, friends, charity, and volunteer work. Sitting still was never an option for them.
Both my parents served in World War 2, my Mum as a Registered Nurse, and Daddy as a Pilot. Over the years I have learned that some people who did not talk to their children about the war, saw things that no one should see. My feelings are that my parents were trying not the give us nightmares, or scar us in telling us what they saw. I know I am very grateful that my parents came home, and that all veterans should be honoured.
Hugs always
Karen
