Moving down the alphabet……D, E and F.

D is for the name David.

D

The name David is big in my life…..from family and friends and Famous people. My little brother is called David and when son no3 was born and he arrived on his uncles birthday we chose to name him after my “little bro”. adding on the middle names   Charles Henry which were his paternal grandfather’s name.

One of my dearest friends is also David…I call him my adoptive brother…I love him dearly and he has always been “part of the family”…he is generous, kind ……a beautiful soul.Lots of other people I have met in my life….work colleagues, husbands of former friends.

Also my favourite singer David Essex….whose name I could not make out.

E

The only and only Elvis….the King of Rock and roll. I remember being on holiday Up North when he died in 1977. My brother “J” came running up stars to inform me. We had a bus trip sorted for that day to Flamingo Land which I think is in North Yorkshire. The Coach driver had the radio on and it was all the music of Elvis. The was me, hubby, son no 1  age 8monthes and my dad. My favourite Elvis song is “In the Ghetto”.He could have had a bigger career if Colonel Parker had not had him under his thumb

Elma…..this is the name of a lovely lady I write to who lives way up in the north of Scotland. We “found” each other through Facebook…..and soon went past the stage of being “penfriends” to”proper ” friends. We can write to each other about anything……and know that will stay with her. Thank you, Elma, for finding me on Facebook.

F

Is for friendship…..whether it be in realtime, letter writing on online. I still have friends from school. Two that I write to a couple of them a couple of times year and when I visit the North. And 5 that I found on Facebook. Friends that I used to work with  Friends that have dropped by the wayside who I have never forgotten. I have had penpals for many years who have developed into very dear friends.

Next time we will have H and I.
