The Lesbian The Gay and The Dead Mum
Our mum died suddenly, and we remember her with love and laughter as we read the letters she wrote to us at university. Touching, poignant, but above all funny. You will laugh, you might cry and you'll definitely enjoy the ride as this gay brother (@fitxander) and lesbian sister (@Claire_Training) take you back to the late 1990s and re-live the fateful years that led to them coming out to each other at University.
