It is just that today is my gorgeous little boy&#39;s 10th birthday, and it feels like quite a momentous day, you know, &quot;my baby&quot; 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&#39;t here, and yet she was so important in my boys&#39; 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<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=245563&AppID=28298&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
