Mum's life was quite extraordinary right till the end but mine has been much more mundane in comparison, just an ordinary person.<br />Mum's life was divided into two parts - the first as wife and mother and the second as tireless community worker.<br />She gave her all no matter which role she was playing.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-13932376583977771052015-05-06T19:22:00.714+08:002015-05-06T19:22:00.714+08:00I've been dipping into your earlier posts and ...I've been dipping into your earlier posts and find everything you write fascinating. You and your mum have led very interesting lives and inspire me to write more about my life, even if, by comparison, it is very ordinary.<br />I have heard of Beehive Industries but never knew what kind of organisation it was, so it's marvellous to discover it objectives. I'll have to go to Google and find out more. Can't wait for the next installment.
