My pick for this week's favourite post
from the blogosphere is one by a
British author and blogger
who lives in Wales.
Drumroll, please, Ringo!

short (three minute) video
about a family lie which shook her
young world and life.

Thank you for sharing this. What a great selection this week. A moving story beautifully told.
Will try to watch it ASAP.
Touching, things have changed in society over the past 60 years, my grandmother shared with me a few deep family secrets, there were others never talked about, and lost
Oh family. The things family does in the name of family can be so harmful. The lies, the half-truths, the omissions.
My family has had those stories and it changes how you view people when the real story comes out.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
Quite a story..Thanks for sharing..Happy Sunday..
Thank you so much, Debra!
I am really busy today but will try to watch this.
Great choice Debra. I follow liz and I was very moved when I read it in her blog.
Thank you for sharing this it sounds like a really moving post! I will have to check it out. Families can keep so many secrets from each other, I'm so glad my family is not like that.
Hope that you had a good weekend! Was a hot and sunny one here :)
Away From The Blue
What a sad twist to a young life.
Her story wouldn't raise an eyebrow today.
Good choice
@ Mike -- Yes, social and legal mores have changed in more recent times, and a good thing too.
Lovely !
My own family is filled with lies. I have three half brothers, all by different fathers, none of whom is my father. Life goes on.
So, so true.
Every family has some of this.
XOXO
Thanks for sharing.
She tells her story so well. How tragic to feel unloved as a child...
That was very moving, and something I imagine everyone can relate to in their own way.

Wow. What a story; very moving. Lies do hurt us all in the end.
Thanks for sharing this story Debra! Big Hugs!
Gotta check this out!
