I enjoyed reading your mum’s story, thought it was written sensitively, and I got a real sense of the warmth of your mum and your family Deena. Very moving, and I am quite envious.

Thanks Deena. Stories like that make history real. What a tribute to your mum and dad to tell it so nicely with such great pictures.

Another wonderful post. Thank to the gentle author and to Deena for this lovely story, and to Adrian for telling me about it. Deena, I’ve known you for years but almost nothing about your life story! I’ve always been fascinated by Arnold Circus – you must also have vivid memories of Club Row, the live animal market. And you look so like your Dad! xx

What an interesting story Deena. My parents also married people of another country and never quite saw eye to eye because of the cultural differences…..you obviously cared a lot for your mother and I think this is a wonderful memorial to her and her family! Well done for taking the time.
