Today would have been my Mum's 63rd birthday, she passed away on the 1st June. I always knew it was going to be hard but have been in floods of tears since getting up. Even facebook is conspiring to make me cry by showing me status updates from previous years on this date, 'going to take my beatiful brave Mum the cake me and the girls have made', 'Mum's birthday going to spoil her rotten' etc.
My gorgeous thoughtful girls want to do something for their Nanny so we are going to get a big red heart ballon and tie some messages to it and send it off for her to read. Life goes on but it is not the same, she fought so hard for so long and none of us wanted to see her suffer anymore but I miss her so much :-( So Happy Birthday Mum I bet wherever you are you have a glass of Rose in one hand and a fag in the other and you are smiling as you proudly watch all your amazing grandchildren.
