I'm annoyed Donald Trump likes this, but I'm not going to get political.

This is the track I want played at my funeral, hopefully a few years away!
Found myself listening to some songs today and wrapping presents whilst I had the house to myself. The Pretenders' Hymn to Her set me thinking about mum, and it dawned on me it would have been her 82nd birthday tomorrow. Braved Bridge over Troubled Water and this, as they were her two funeral songs, and not ashamed to admit I had a good old blub about it. Most people say great things about their mums, but mine was genuinely a wonderful person and I miss her enormously. RIP.

I get a bit emotional this time of year, when I remember all the festive gatherings many decades ago. I don't have any family now, apart from my sister, but she's abroad somewhere. My mum's somewhere and got dementia and I'll never see her again. She wouldn't recognise me anyway and I'd rather think of my mum when she was in her prime. She fought so hard to keep the family together, but you don't realise when you're a kid. I don't talk about my dad, because he effed off when I was 13 and left us all in the crap. Many people get annoyed with their family members at Christmas and it leads to so much resentment and falling out. I think people should be grateful if they have family and stability in their lives, because there are so many others, like myself, without anyone to remember the past and share stories etc. Enjoy your family while you can, because they will be gone forever one day and it could be sooner than you may think.

God bless Pod, the people who are close to you now, are the people you need to cherish.
