Memories
- Sarah·3 days ago
Mum in her garden. This is exactly how I want to remember her — hands in the soil, looking pleased with herself.
- James: That was the day she picked the first tomatoes.
- Iris: She looks so happy. Thank you for this.

She once drove two hours to bring me soup when I had the flu. Didn't stay, didn't fuss. Left the pot on the doorstep with a note that just said 'eat'. That was Elena.
- Sarah: She did that for everyone.

Nan reading me 'The Owl and the Pussycat', recorded on my 8th birthday. I found this on an old phone.
- Iris·1 week ago
Us in 1958. She always got in trouble first and I always got in trouble after. Some things don't change.
- Nadia·1 week ago
She taught my son to read. He is 22 now and still writes her a card every Christmas. He will keep writing them.
- James·2 weeks ago
Mum and Dad dancing at Sarah's wedding. She hated dancing. Dad convinced her for one song.

The last thing she said to me was 'Don't forget to water the tomatoes.' I did forget. I'm sorry, mum.
- James: I watered them yesterday.
- David: She would have laughed at this exchange.
- Tom·2 weeks ago
The apple pie recipe in her handwriting. I'm going to bake it every October.
- David·3 weeks ago
For 40 years she signed off every phone call with 'right, onwards'. It was never goodbye.

Her voicemail greeting. I can't bring myself to delete it. So I'm saving it here.
- James·1 month ago
Christmas 2019. The last one where we were all together.
- Nadia·1 month ago
She was the first person I told when I was pregnant. She cried. Then she made me sit down and eat something.
