Uncle B's birthday.
I had meant to put this picture in yesterday's writings about BROTHERS.
Uncle B is my mother's young brother. This week he became 80 years of age. He spent his 18th birthday, he recalls, preparing to be in the first wave of troops to land on The Normandy Beaches on D Day.
Sadly my mother has not lived to share this day with her brother.
She reached not much more than half his age.
Happily, I can continue to share things with my brother. Roger and I enjoyed a family party in the sunshine last weekend to celebrate the birthday.
The picture shows me with my brother and Uncle.
I just thought I would share this lovely picture with you.
