Our mum

Even though being a mum, mum was still usually the first person I went to.

I went to her when something good happened. She’s the person I wanted to call with little or big news.

I went to her for a shoulder to cry on.

I went to her when I’ve been in the car alone to talk about everything and nothing at all.

I went to her to celebrate the ups because I know she would celebrate with me.

I went to her for comfort because her voice was sometimes the one thing in this world that could make everything seem okay.

I went to her for advice, and she helped me find direction.

I went to her when I had a hard day, and I needed to vent.

Friends can come and go. They move away. We drift apart. They disappear.

But mum has always been there through the good times and the tough. She taught me how difficult life can get. And this has certainly been true of late, teaching me about life right up to the very end. Sadly any new life lessons will now have to be sent to me from the heavens above.

Mum - It’s been an absolute privilege to be one of your daughters and I know I am very lucky to have shared so much of ourselves together through the years especially recently.

I love you and know you will be the brightest star even in the darkest of nights.

Fly high mum - until we meet again ……
Your “Big Girl” 💜💜💜
