We know what's happening

We see it with our own eye's

We hear the pain in your voice

We hear your silent cries.

It's ok to not be ok mum

Your our mummy we love you very much

Your losing your mummy to this sickness when the world is told not to hug or touch.

Every moment we get with Nanny is stored in our hearts and minds

To take out and remember her when the time comes as she was not how she is.

We look at Nanny and see more of you so she'll never be forgotten by us as we have you to help us remember and we see Nanny in you.

We see you cry, we do too 

so let's stay wrapped around each other as we prepare to say goodbye.

    Hi Debz79 

    Thank you for posting this poem, it touched my heart and says everything I’m feeling right now. My mum has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and although it is at the beginning stages I’m scared ... petrified to be honest that I will have to live in a world without her. I couldn’t have children, much like my mum (I’m adopted from birth) but I worry for my nephew’s seeing nanny poorly and not properly understanding that they might grow up without her. 

    We lost my mums mother to cancer when I was only 13 the same age my nephew will be this year, and I know how deeply this effected me. Your words said everything I’ve been trying to say so thank you again for sharing <3

    Thinking of you at this difficult time 

    <<hugs>>

    Debbie
