A lovely poem pita and a fitting tribute to a lovely lady. Thank you for sharing it with us. All the best to you and your family.

Bless you all for your lovely comments. Mum loved being on the forum, it was her afternoon routine to log on and be amongst friends.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
I'm off out with the camera as Spring seems to have arrived early! Catkins everywhere and I even spotted the Strawberries in flower.

Take care, don't forget to make your dash count!
Mum will be watching! ;o)

See you soon
Pita xx

Sorry Pita for being last.

That was a beautiful poem, it brought a tear to my eye. I do miss your mom. We had such fun on Guy. When I said something I always knew she would be there to back me up. Even though we never met I felt I knew her, I think of my dear friend every day, I look back on some of the comments we made and still have a good laugh at them. She had lots of good friends with her good humour on Guy, Give my regards to your dad Ralph her soul mate who she always mentioned in her comments. She will be missed by all.

Dear Pita..............what a beautiful start to a new year and amazing thoughts about our 'Dash'..........I must admit I had a little cry, dear Val has been in my mind a lot lately, how we will all miss her, her laughter, her jokes, her amazing sense of humour, she was one in a million and I never met her!! every word and every line in that poem is your dear Mum, Pita. Bless you for printing this blog it must have been hard for you and I hope that your dad is alright, give him a hug from us all. Thank you. x That photo is gorgeous.

Thank you both very much for your kind words. Mum loved you all.
Remember fun times, don't cry unless it's with laughter!
Love and blessings
Pita xx

I have heard that poem before Pita but it's always good to be reminded about how we spend our dash , your mum was a special lady we will always have very fond memories of her with love in our hearts , love to your family and your dad Ralph I shall always think of them when making a Yorkshire pud, they were kind enough to give me their recipe it works every time ... I could never make a decent one before that ! Your photo is stunning xx

Thank you Amy! We also use their Yorkshire pud recipe however we call ours Wiltshire puddings! Hee hee

hi pita....sorry I'm late! I've been away on holiday. I've never heard that poem before, but it's lovely and really appropriate for your mum. We were all so sad when she went away, but you're right...it's so good to celebrate a dash well spent. Take care and keep taking the pics! :)) x

Thank you! Xx

Thank you so much for this Pita, I've not read this poem before, but it's just perfect and very moving and with the perfect photo to accompany it. Your mum will never be forgotten. x

Thank you xx :0)

Hi Pita..
Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with us here on Goy. Your mum is so much missed. We used to have so many giggles between us.. Still find it hard to believe that she has gone, but she will never be forgotten.. Val left those who were lucky enough to know her, way too many good memories.. She lives on in our hearts and always will..

Val was always so terrifically proud of you..She told me what a gifted photographer you are and I have seen some of your work..Absolutely beautiful! Having you here on Goy, keeps a little bit of Val here with us all.
Bless you for thinking of us my friend..xxxx

Bless your kindness. Xx

That's a lovely, thought-provoking poem, Pita and your photo is truly beautiful. Wonderful way to remember your lovely Mum. Hope you and the family are all finding your way through this together.

Thank you TBear & Homebird xxx
