The young girl with the rabbit in the photo is my mum ‘Ann’. Today would have been her birthday; I think she would have been 62. On the rear of the photo it says ‘Ann and Butch, Ann aged 13 and a half, Butch aged 4’ - 1961. Happier times for my mum in the flower of her youth, with her trusty pet rabbit Butch who she always spoke of with great affection.
Today I visited the family grave with my uncle where her ashes are scattered, we laid some flowers and my uncle did most of the talking, I just looked on in quiet reflection, keeping my thoughts to myself. It was a cloudy cold day as rain poured down relentlessly but I’m glad I went, if only for a short while.
