My MUM (bless her) was just a few weeks past her 49th birthday when she died. Suddenly. Unexpectedly.

I was 3 months pregnant with my second son and living in Ireland.

I had that dreaded 3am phone call. My youngest brother was crying his eyes out and almost speaking in strange tongues. He’d found her, and held her as she died.

Every single day that I have lived beyond the age of 49 has been a TRUE blessing to me.

DESPITE the yt mods and commenters who have called me a dinosaur and sent me death threats.

YES.

I am over Fiddy (50) years of age.

Write me off all you want. Troll and try to Con-troll me. Just because you are younger and #better (?)

I had a streak of grey hair when I was 17 years old. Geneticals coming out in me.

KMArse, kidlings :o)
