She has actually buried three sons now.

How lovely that the lady who divorced her horrible husband has found such happiness not only for herself but for her family too. She was very lucky to be able to give her new husband a child too, as she would have been around 48 when she gave birth. There is a similar story in this week's Take a Break mag.

Must have been odd for the sons to have such a young father tho altho he would have better understood their problems and been as much a pal to them as a Dad. Great that they gave him that title tho and hope they all have many more years to spend together.

Such a shame that one son has left that close family but at least they will be supporting each other through the sadness.

Hope you can get round for that cuppa Sharron, sounds as tho they will be great new friends.

I recently attended the funeral of somebody I had been to school with.

His father had not been a very pleasant person but his mother had divorced him. She had then married a man twenty years her junior and it has been a spectacular success. They are so suited to each other and very, very happy.

It has meant that I have a couple of surreal experiences. The first was talking to the father- in- law of an eighty- nine year old woman. You don't do that every day! He is ninety- three.

I was invited to go round for a cup of tea sometime and would like to be there every day because there is such a lovely atmosphere in their home. Her three children and the one they had between them (he is forty- one) are always dropping in to see them.

It was very odd to hear her sixty- six year old son calling her sixty-nine year old husband 'Dad' but he has done for the forty odd years they have been married. He is so much more of a dad to all of them than their natural one was.
