Oh I wish you could all see me when I was 21. I hardly recognise myself here. I kept going didn’t I and she laughs. I was never going to get old. I was determined to keep going and I did. Thank you to all my family, I especially loved all the car rides.

I never felt alone. I always felt included and still do thank you. I have had so many people to say hello to. It’s been so lovely and so enlightening. So many were lost in the war and yet here they all are. I love that I’m so fondly remembered – thank you and that my things are still being used or on display brings tears to my eyes.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other and enjoy every minute, your health is the most important thing so please look after it. All my love X

PS I love that my name lives on
