4 years ago today, I lost a very special lady. Beryl Adelaide Mathers.
My Nan.
Her choices brought my Anglo Indian family from Secunderabad in India to the UK in search of a better, and safer life. She married Ken, a Yorkshire man and engineer in the Merchant Navy.
She was a nurse during the war and drove an ambulance for the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service for India. She had 4 children and loved brightly coloured flowers and clothes, sparkles, cooking, birds singing, sunshine, gardening and possessed a wicked sense of humor.
No one's curry was as good as hers and every ones plants, no matter where they were, were ripe for pinching a cutting from....
Alzheimer's took her mind long before her body, but she was still Nan... Mum..
I thank the Goddess that she managed to hold my babies in her arms before she left. Fae was born on her birthday and is a joyous reminder of a wonderful woman.
I love you Nan... Miss you ♥
