It goes without saying it meant a great deal to me that you took the trouble to write. Thank you seems completely inadequate.
My pic friend Sue's daughter sent me the following article from VOQUE magazine and it did make me smile. Who'd of thought that at my age I would be appearing in this prestigious magazine for all the wrong reasons.
A very nice article advertising the forthcoming exhibition at Danson House that Tracey Chevalier has curated.
My quilt Unchained Melody is being used in the exhibition and for the advertising literature. I immediately went to buy a couple of copies and thought i would pop one in the post to my mum. It's things like this that hit hard and is going to take some time before I realise she isn't at the end of the telephone.
We played mum out to Matt Monroe's Sofly As You Leave Us. I do hope she would have been proud to see me in Vogue even if I'm not a super model. No chance of that ever of happening with me being on five foot nothing!

Sue, I know the feeling. My mom passed away a year and a half ago, and I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and call her.
ReplyDeleteLots of not-so-fun stuff to do in the aftermath as well. Good luck with all that.
And congratulations on your Vogue appearance!
love,
Sandy
My street cred has gone up with my daughter, now that she knows I have a friend who has appeared in Vogue! Thank you my PIC XXX

It talked such a long time to really fully grasp the loss of someone as important as you Mother. It's been over 20 for and I still miss sharing important things with her.
