nostalgia

Thinking of these past few days with mum.
Was super special watching dvds with her and chilling.
It is as if she is making up for all the times I had longed to go to the movies with her when living in Durbs.
Mum was not always open to it.In my mind I thought mum was not for it as she won't make it comfortably without a cig.
That's how I summed it up however mum said again today that she has never been a movie person but has enjoyed these dvds we have been watching together.
I called this post "Nostalgia" as mum told me a few stories about her past.Pleasant stories maybe not at the time when unfolding but real interesting.
Mum spoke a lot abt her days in theatre and this new level of understanding and respect grew within me.
I also realised that when we as kids needed our mum at times for support and care in certain situations she appeared distant as she might have forgotten to remove her doctors cap.
Mum really touched many peoples lives,experienced and saw things we can't imagine and wow life flys by where she finds herself now looking back at that role she once played.
Mum rcvd many special calls over these few days from people from different aspects in her life which moved me deeply.Hearing their care,concern and willingness was so heart warming.
