Missing my lovely mum

Less than one minute read time.
Morning all, Never "blogged" meself before but today I feel so low, I just wanted to get it all out, hope no-one minds. It is just that today is my gorgeous little boy's 10th birthday, and it feels like quite a momentous day, you know, "my baby" is the big one-oh! I am a crazy sort of mum and have lotts of fab things planned for him, which is pretty much taking over our whole weekend as a family (I have another gorgeous boy who is 5 too, and a lovely husband!). Problem is, my mum isn't here, and yet she was so important in my boys' lives. She was with me for the birth of both of them, but the first one was so different because Ben was the first grandchild, her and dad idolised him and were totally besotted. Neither of them are here today to share his special day, but this is his first birthday without my mum and it just hurts I guess. Thanks for listening, Lou x

    Hi Lou Know how you feel whenever anything happens you will want your mum to be there.  Mine died in 2001 and there are times I still think wish mum could see this, When my hubby was diagnoised really did need my mum.  I'm sure your mum is looking down and joining in everything you do today.

    Love

  • Hi Lou, Happy birthday to Ben and hugs and kisses to you all.  Your mum (and dad) will I am sure be with you in spirit. It will be difficult for you but it is also a lovely day for you all as a family to see your son reach double figures lol.  I hope that the weekend goes well for you all hun.  It is my birthday tomorrow too and I am wishing my husband was here to share it but know that he will be by my side throughout. To-day I am really missing both him and mum. Two very special people in my life.

    Anyway,  the weather is looking good so go out there and kick up a storm. x x Tricia x x

    Hi, I lost my lovely Mum 16 years ago and there is not a day goes past that I dont think of her, I have three grandchildren all who arrived after her death, she would have adored them and would have been so proud of my daughter seeing what a lovely Mum she is to them, I am sure both my Mum and Dad can see us at least I like to think they can and I am sure your Mum is watching over you.  Jenny
