I said goodbye at Christchurch hospital and continued north to live with an aunt, without my sisters. That was an abrupt end to an idyllic existence within the confines of Lyttleton Harbour. I was six years old.jhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-77168132713773349482012-10-02T11:16:40.711+13:002012-10-02T11:16:40.711+13:00May the love and happy memories of your mother bri...May the love and happy memories of your mother bring you comfort.<br /><br />That is a wonderful tribute not just to you mother but to other mothers who will always be found at home.homepaddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596903968235369282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-69294822353298698262012-10-02T10:37:28.760+13:002012-10-02T10:37:28.760+13:00Your poem is a lovely tribute to your mother Chris...Your poem is a lovely tribute to your mother Chris, and goes well with the photograph of her you have put up. My sincere condolences for your loss. I agree with Kat; in some strange way your relationship with your mother continues to deepen after she is gone, and grief gives way to the joy of having had her in your life.
