Neverending Top Ten #4.1: 90 Years Ago Tomorrow...



The Neverending Top Ten normally involves posts about my son, but today it's about my mum. Tomorrow will be her 90th birthday. She was born June 30th, 1928. Imagine everything she's seen since then.


This is going to be a pretty short tribute, but my mum is the best. Despite failing eyesight and hearing, I've never heard her complain. She is always happy and positive and has the best sense of humour of anyone I know. She is kind and generous, selfless: she always puts her family before herself. She loves a good gossip, and winding my dad up. She's had a tough year, losing her best friend a few weeks back, but she remains positive and always looks on the bright side. I love her more than I could ever tell her. I hope she knows that.


Happy birthday, Mum. I tried to think of a song you might like, but you've never really been too bothered about that whole pop music malarkey. Still, you always liked a bit of Elvis...
