| "The mistake" minus 75 |
Being the age now of 76 years young and having survived World War 2 with many other hurdles of life to contend with I think it time to put pen to paper if only for the younger element of my family and friends.
I was born on the 28th of September 1934 weighing 8lbs 2ozs the youngest of three siblings. I have a sister who is 14 years my senior and my brother 9 years older than me. When my parents reached their forties they did not want any more children so my Mother had a great shock at 43 to find she was expecting me hence I was always introduced as “The Mistake” and thus was treated as a thorough intrusion on my brother and sister’s lives as they always had me to look after while Mum worked. Mother had to go out to do either house cleaning or on the land so unfortunately for them my sister and brother were forced to child mind me which I have been endlessly reminded of throughout my life especially by my brother! While I was young enough to need a pram my sister tells me she was continually embarrassed by people assuming I was hers?
