Here I am, on the eve of my first Mother's day without you Mum. I know that you are with me in my heart, I know that you would tell me to 'chin up' and smile. Yet tomorrow will be so hard, we normally spend it together. I miss you so much Mum, and although it is just one more day without you, it marks so much more.
Yet I want you to know that we are getting on with life, the children too. Easter, holidays all the things we used to love sharing and I am going to have to get used to them all without you. Its not easy Mum. but I know what you would want and we are getting there Mum. So I just want to let you know as Mothers Day is almost upon us, that I love you, Mum and I realise just how much of a legacy you have left. I see you every day in Ellie, the way she acts, the things she says, and also in me!! We are so lucky Mum, we always knew how loved we were, I hope that you know still xx
T'is better to have loved and lost, is what so many say Still, loss I feel, an ache within, that never goes away. Yet, by it's side sit memories, of moments filled with love Of special days, a happy place, a reminder from above. I carry with me every day, those memories in my heart Give me strength to smile again, knowing we're really not apart. We still can chat, I hear your voice, the answers you would give Come from within, your wisdom,your strength, forever inside me live. A mother's arms seem always safe, a hand to dry the tears I'm blessed that I had you, to hold me tight for all these years. So though I've lost your loving arms, the memories will always stay And I'll think of you as I always do, with love on Mother's Dayxxxx
