Mum had a lot of sadness in her life so it's difficult looking back sometimes, especially remembering how her frailty was hindering her in her later years and how it depressed her. Hopefully in time I'll be able to look back on the happier memories without thinking of her final days.

Oh we used fight the bit out in the last year or so I lived at home, but ever since we've become like best friends and I'm actually planning on moving back to my hometown this year again to be closer to my family, especially with my nanny not very well. Hope you're doing okay yourself.PhilEdBoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719653780823278025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-58911298235567288042014-04-02T12:56:57.837+01:002014-04-02T12:56:57.837+01:00Thanks Phil.

She was increasingly frail, and housebound, but otherwise ok. Then she had the fall/stroke and was gone after 12 days semi-conscious in hospital. So cherish every day with your mum Phil. Fate is too unpredictable.

My mum bought me all my comics as a kid too, and today she can't believe that silly thing about pigs is becoming a bigger and bigger thing in my life, so I thank your mum for encouraging you to pursue your dream, and in turn how her inspiration in you has encouraged so many other comics artists.PhilEdBoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719653780823278025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-91837531901922867902014-04-01T02:23:47.891+01:002014-04-01T02:23:47.891+01:00Thanks wilsia.

We were indeed lucky to have such good mothers, and, although it's still relatively early days, trying to focus on happier memories is what will get us through our losses in the end.

I owe my love of comics to my mum as she would read them to me from a small age and faithfully get me my weekly comic every week.<br />Her favourie comic was the "Rainbow" because of the Bruin Boys which she loved and of course the stip was till running when I was being read the nursery titles so I became a fan of Tiger Tim and co.<br /><br />When your mum goes a part of you goes as well but I know that we can take solace on the beautiful memories and I know that I will see her again in heaven<br />wilsiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408459686423489335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-9141692025329762502014-03-30T23:34:05.798+01:002014-03-30T23:34:05.798+01:00Thanks, both of you.
