I've just uploaded a song "Somewhere Along The Road" by Maddy Prior which has always been quite dear to me. But each time I hear it now, I think back to the time just after Mum's death, on the Sunday 10th October 2010 when it came on the tv as part of some religious programme and Dad and Anna and I sat and watched and listened to the words; mentally and emotionally exhausted from the trauma of the preceding weeks of turmoil. We sat calmly as though Mum herself had sung this song and for a moment we were comforted. Dad remarked that he'd never heard such a beautiful song before. Somewhere along the road, Mum was waiting for Dad to come.

Three years ago yesterday you passed away from us. Life continues for the people you left behind, but you are still with us Mum and always will be. We are so lucky to have had a mother who loved us all as much as you did. Paul

A year has passed for you Mum, and coming up to a year for Dad, Lord! Where did time go? It feels like yesterday. The suffering you both felt towards the end still hangs heavily, but the happiness of remembering other times is slowly taking over. I miss both of you just as much and you are never far from my mind. It's coming up to our second Christmas without both of you and that is still so sad - still so raw. I love you, I miss you. Maria x
