'Beloved Hearts'
For all the loved ones left behind.
The First World War had a prolific and devastating effect on my family's future, changing our perception, making us (all female) strongly independent forever (without having any choice).
My Grandfather, an officer in WW1, was awarded a Military Cross in 1918 and bravely survived, my mother was 2yrs old at that time, whether he knew about her or not, I don't know.
He never returned to to my Grandmother, leaving a shadowed trail of heartbreak clouded in mystery.
Grandmother died aged 28yrs old, leaving my mother, an orphaned only child, aged 8, with my Great Grandmother to bring her up.
All relatives, except for my Mother, were dead before the Second World War, my mother was 18 and alone, at 39yrs, she gave birth to me.
There have been no marriages and only two people were born in the last hundred years- my mother & I.
Both bohemians, my Great Aunt and Grandmother were published Writers, Poetesses, Artists and into the existential 'Aesthetic' Movement.
