For me a beautiful memory was  when I was very young....


My Aunt Kathleen telling me right from being a little girl when staying with my Grandma & Grandad Lomas at their house in Chandos Gardens, the belief and magic of fairies.


She had a wonderful imagination and it all seemed so real when I was young. 


Kathleen would always end a bedtime story with 


“I love you to the moon and back” where I would reply “can I come with you” 
believing that’s where fairies lived and only came out at night such as the tooth fairy or for something special  and watch over you🧚‍♀️ 


This continued all though the years and into my adulthood.  


Whenever,  we spoke on the phone including, the latter years , only now in role reversal 
where I would end our conversations, saying it to her. 


With her dementia it seemed to raise a spark and she would remember. 


‘I love you to the moon and back’ 


Kathleen would laugh and say ‘
‘oh darling, how lovely, hold on I’m coming with you’


and that ending was repeated right up to the last time we spoke on the phone with her at Christmas and again at New Year 🙏


A lovely magical memory  🙏🌈 
R.I.P. Dear Aunt
