85 minutes!!

Ah lovely news, Ally, bet you are very relieved xx

[Fugitive]

So pleased to hear this Ally and that her health is improving. Up until the last few weeks of my Dear Mum's life I'd phone her every evening at around five and we'd talk together for an hour. We'd pour ourselves a glass of wine each, her in Sussex and me in Dorset, and although I lost her three years ago I still miss that special time. We'd both be in our kitchens doing something towards our evening meals and clatter pans about while we chatted even though I emailed her every morning with a Good Morning it made us both feel so close. Phone bill was enormous but I'd pay anything to be able to do that again.

Oh I am Osc.

It was great to be gassing away again..although she asked me to try and not make her laugh in case it set her off coughing.

Awwww, that's really excellent news, Ally. Enjoy the time you have with her.

I know what you mean, Fugitive. My mum was really a great person to talk to. And funny in a very
unexpected way. She'd come out with the strangest things and we'd all end up laughing so hard.
Then she'd cock her head like she didnt' have a clue what we were laughing about. She
passed away just before Mother's Day this past year and miss her terribly!

That's why I enjoyed reading about Ally and her 85 minute phone call to her Mum ElusiveE. Happy memories of my own Mum and daughter relationship and our endless phone calls about nothing important. Your loss is very recent so hang onto those lovely images of times shared. My Mum was 89 so I was very lucky to have had her for such a long time.
