I kept a lot of Mum's stuff when she passed. Apart from all her photo albums, I kept a scrap book she had made containing lovely verses, some she wrote herself or some copied from magazines, all very moving and loving. I don't look at it too often because I shed bucketloads of tears every time I do, especially now she's gone. It has loads of memories in it. I also have on display a lovely little colourful ceramic church which she bought once when she was abroad and she wrote the place and time on the bottom of it, so I knew it was special to her. It's special to me now. I also have a newspaper cutting with a picture of an abused lioness's face who was rescued from a cruel owner from many, many years ago. It made big news back then because of her abuse and when she was rescued it was hoped she could live a good life, but such was her abuse that she died very soon after. I remember me and Mum being absolutely devastated over that. I haven't looked at the cutting for a long time, but I can still see her sad face in my mind's eye. Not much has changed re. animal abuse sadly.
