Daphne

It seems to have taken an age but Daphne is finaly moved in. Daphne has metastatic malignant melanoma which has become resistant to tretment and no matter how much she wanted to maintain her independence in Broadstairs the time was right to enjoy being looked after in her last moths with her family.

 

Born in Brixton in 1936 her mother and father were refugees to the UK due to the pogrom's in Romania. Changing their surnames to Poole and Moss and from Devorina to Daphne she was brought up in liberalism. Many of her family unable to escape died in WWII at Burgen-Belsen and Auschwitz with the survivors who moved to the UK now departed. Married to Brian, a quantity surveyor from Lewisham, who passed 14 years ago from cancer, Daphne has forged a life on her own in Broadstairs. A wonderful mother-in-law with an awesome, non-politically correct sense of humour, refreshing these days, with endless stories of her families past, a women of substance, tragedy, hope and love.....
