My J.R Hartley moment.

Visible to anyone in the world
My mother when l was young would tell us brief snippets of her life but would not go into detail due to the horrendous sights she had seen and suffered. Some years later my father wrote a book about her life. At that time life got in the way, l was busy running a household as well as working and l never got time to ask for a copy. As time moved on and circumstances changed l asked to see if there was a copy left so that l would be able to understand my mothers life before l was born. Unfortunately there was not a copy and so the search was on to see if l could find one.  After a lot of searching I finally found a copy.😃 I am pleased to say that l am now able to read more about my mothers family history and l will be able to pass this down the line. I have learned  that any family history should not be  disregarded just because your life is busy it is so important  as we all need to know who we are and what helps to shape parts of  our identity.
