THE FANTASIA PARADE (TRUE) BRIGHTON PRIDE


I was due to meet my my friend the other year at Brighton pride. It was very hot day, and I had bought lovely pink jumper and had a white parasol with me our wonderful daughter had bought me I caught up with the procession going along the told to get back as heavy transport in procession all children and adults move back. I moved nearer, all looking up at open window why?

There was grey hair lady waving out the window, made me think of my dear Mum in a special Nursing Home if there,would been dancing and singing too. People were jostled along laughing and singing .I thought can I go through the park with my parasol up, so I did just that, up came a man Advert for Pride wanted photo of friend and I. We moved and another person asked to do photo. Couldn’t believe it. We never did find photos taken. Sun was beating down as we moved from tents two girls called us Discos never went in. it had been a great day the Nursing home always said ring and let me know as Mum not long to live at time.
As was matter of time, Haywards Heath. I was sun burnt through the pattern holes and neck line of jumper, about 3am. Phone calI hubby answered it wrong number he said half asleep. I dialled number engaged then Nursing Home both engaged Phoned back relation, could I say has Mummy died what if I’m wrong they said I’m afraid so. Gutted but in a way she had been with my friend and me all day. Spiritually talking of her. I couldn’t sing for a while reminded me of her, songs like I’ll See You Again. Elvis, Pavorotti. Dusty Springfield She just loved all, and enjoyed freedom of her later life, and was a very kind and loving trusting Mum, and loved all and the young. Particularly Brighton Pier Horatio's Karaoke bar. She always wore red; they loved her.xx
