Today would have been my Mother's 90th birthday.

Sad she didn't make it but given her failing health, would she have remembered anyway.

Observation by my aunt (her sister) other day. My brother is on holiday at moment so he would have missed it anyway as they booked before she passed. Advised my aunt that wasn't first time they'd done it, but not for a significant one.

The momentary silence from my aunt said more than actual words....

I've got a significant birthday soon. Already have ideas to avoid dreaded family celebration. Want to do my own thing and for once in my life, I will not bow to pressure
