&lt;p&gt;Anyway best wishes to you all&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take care&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the whole life is getting a little better i still miss mum and still constantly want to pick up the phone and tell her what is going on&amp;nbsp; - especially with the kids but in general it is much better than last year if i could just get this stupid day over with - i know its just a day but everywere you look it seems to be staring you in the face. A friend in work yesterday was talong about flowers&amp;nbsp; for mothers day anf said &amp;quot;o you don&amp;#39;t have a mother&amp;quot; she immediately apolises and i know she didnt mean it but it was like a thump in the gut and I can&amp;#39;t seem to shift the feeling even though i know she meant no harm just didnt think.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;over the years i have been rushing/ stressing over what to buy mum, worring about dinner selfishly wanting some of the day to myself - now i would love for her to be coming up for dinner and love the thought of going to buy her something she would love.&amp;nbsp; life is so busy sometimes we always seem to be rushing from here to there&amp;nbsp; why o why do we learn what is most important - family and friends - when it is too late. we sometimes don&amp;#39;t appreiate what we have until it is too late&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My heart goes out to everyone having to deal with this terribe disease and a special pray for all those facing a mothers day with out MUM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our finger prints don&amp;#39;t fade from the lives we touch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take care&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joan&lt;/p&gt;
