RIP Tiger, one of our feline family here at chezMRP. He was 14 and had started fading last week, a trip to vet provided no help or hope, but he passed earlier this afternoon. Goodbye my friend. -M So sorry to hear this, my friend. |

My mother passed away peacefully on the morning of Thursday 5th May following a long illness. The funeral will be this Friday.
As I commented in last year's 12 Days of Christmas thread, she is one of the reasons I am a comic book fan. My parents believed in the value of reading, but they also knew that children cannot be forced to read. Instead, if their children showed an interest in anything, they encouraged us to read about it. So when I started showing an interest in comics, my parents were happy to buy them for me.
For my sixth or seventh birthday, I got given a copy of Famous First Edition #7, reprinting All-Star Comics #3; the first appearance of the JSA. I'm sure Mum would have bought it, as buying the kids' presents was certainly her responsibility, not Dad's. I'm sure Mum's thinking was nothing more than "He likes comics. This is a really big comic. I hope that he likes it". But this book fascinated me. I literally read it over and over till it fell apart. More than anything else, it probably made me a superhero fan.
R.I.P. Brenda Dawn Henry (nee Lane). You affected your son's life in ways you could not possibly have conceived. You will be missed.

I remember that Foxley and now you mentioned it here and the recent passing of your dear Mom - I think this is a wonderful way of remembering her and and I'm offering my condolences for the loss of your dear Mom. I wished my parents did what your dear Mother did for you. My mother has a lukewarm interest in Comics and my father hated them. My hats off to your dear Mother and please remember her like that ... |
