Oh dear, never mind... I guess I'll remain patient, to see if it pops up later, the same way the memory of your photos did. lolJinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-68852887763906412122017-04-16T04:54:29.268-04:002017-04-16T04:54:29.268-04:00I do indeed remember your lovely photos!

I may not have 'kept in the picture' where Blogland is concerned, but my memory is still functioning fairly well. :-)Jinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-2507978357415136112017-04-15T19:13:53.148-04:002017-04-15T19:13:53.148-04:00Thank you, Y.P., for your comment.

I knew only my mother's father, and actually didn't meet him until I was about 13. There are connections nevertheless.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-37961248427845334432017-04-15T15:29:36.292-04:002017-04-15T15:29:36.292-04:00The poem is very evocative Bob.

I can certainly relate to the notion of being linked to blood relatives who departed this life before I even arrived. There may not be words but there is connection. It pains me that I never met my paternal grandparents and only knew my mother's mother. Both of my grandfathers fought at The Battle of the Somme and both got home... with what memories I cannot tell.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-48347809423288364162017-04-15T09:59:34.855-04:002017-04-15T09:59:34.855-04:00Thank you, Michelle aka All Consuming, for your tw...Thank you, <b>Michelle aka All Consuming</b>, for your two compliments, one about my poem and the other about my mother.

Just as beutiful as your mum, and she really was, that first picture is stunning, so I'm glad you still have some of her so clear for yourself, and for the children too *smiles warmly and hugs him*.
