"Live in the present". That sentence makes shivers go down my spine. It reminds me of the way faults were pointed out to us and was a signal that things that have happened are of no importance to now. If they had been dealt with, then maybe that would be so, but all too often it was a way to put the...

Hi Sally, I remember the change from the traditional Birthday song well. We were down in the basement having lunch on my Birthday. As was the custom, those at lunch started to sing "Happy Birthday to you!", to me. Miss Caldwell stood up and stopped everyone half way through and said that we were no ...

Sorry, I must admit to being a lurker. I am reading with great interest and having a lot of internal dialogue with myself. When I feel that I can contribute, I promise I will. At the moment I am empathising and sympathising, remembering and letting go. Although I have not physically been around the ...

Dear Daska, I am also pondering the question, but have not come up with an answer yet. My mother-in-law asked a similar question about timing: how come it has taken so long for the issues to surface? My answer to the last question ,for me, is that now I have children who are of the same age I was in...

Hello Piet van der Weijden, Your English is much better than my Dutch. You have piqued my interest when you mentioned Mr and Mrs Van Oyen. I remember a Miss Van Oyen when I was at School. She was over here looking after Maclaren for years. To a child she didn't seem very young. What relationship was...

I am sitting at my computer shaking, wondering whether I am going to say what I want to say without causing too much damage to people I love. I have chosen this page to write on as it feels safer and I went to St James Girls School. I have been reading the posts for a while now and hope that the old...

Harriet, I remember Emma from Ballet. We were in the same class for a while. She was friendly and caring. I felt that I could have a good friendship with her. I wish that I had had the opportunity to have gotten to know her better. I hadn't seen her that much nearer the time of her death and was sho...

Hi Harriet, I was glad to see your name here. I have flicked down through these postings and when I read that the girls were not included in the inquiry, I couldn't help the tears and the old feelings coming back. Our Stories are just as important and I believe shocking. Whenever I think that I have...

Clara, I know that at the moment, I will only be able to write a few things down. I was in Miss Caldwell's Class with you. I remember you well and liked your spirit. I missed you when you had gone and envied you for having been able to leave. I was unaware of what was going on with you and am sorry ...
