Hey Staffs, good to hear a Midland accent, they all talk funny down here
Not really a memory thing, but I didn't see my best friend's son until he was nearly two because she was chronically ill during and following her pregnancy and it was easier for me to get drunk and talk about going to visit her than to actually go.
Her little boy is six now and nuts about me, and although I'm a great 'auntie' to him now, I always feel guilty that he doesn't know how much I let him and his mum down when he was a baby...
