365 Short Memories 
Hi Max,
Thanks for the memories.Some things seem to get lost in the scurry to earn a living. Lots of little things make up memories some once told me to make sure you make memories.Am enjoying you blog! Just hope you all had a happy childhood.
Love Mum.
Hi Mum
I am hoping the overwhelming feeling of all this is exactly that … beneath any of the traumas, troubles and tightropes that may emerge here should be the underlying safety net of a sense of security, safety, & happiness.
