I have already spoken about my mum (it's Day 8 if you missed it) but as it was Mothering Sunday yesterday I'll give her another mention.  I always felt safe with her.  I hated having to go to school, knowing she was not at home but had gone out to work.  And I know I've said it before and, no doubt, I will say it again, but I give thanks to the good Lord every day that, although physically failing, she is still the person I know and have always loved.
