10 years ! It feels like yesterday. I miss you so deeply it still hurts. Today Lois and I spent the day with dad. He was so happy to see us, and the hug he gave was amazing. We all miss you so much, but live in your memory. Being kind, helping others, and family always comes first.
Love you always mum

I can’t believe that it’s been 10 years since we said goodbye. Debbie asked me to put some words together for a poem and I chose some of happy memories.
I miss you’re big sparking blue eyes when you laugh, the way you say stupid sod in your northern twang, or when you flick Marks nose when saying goodnight. The crying with laughter when we waxed your top lip, the singing Celine Dion songs when dusting the house. The houseful of friends who you welcomed and made feel part of our family. The way you always put everyone else before you. The joy you got when watching everyone open presents that your lovingly bought. The multiple dummies you let Hannah have as they were her bit of comfort. Playing Wii tennis with the kids and laughing at dad when playing swing ball in my garden. The joy of hearing the seagulls while on the phone each morning on my way to work. The nightly routine of saying goodnight, see you in the morning, sweet dreams god bless love you. Hearing your voice, smelling your far away perfume and being able to feel your warm embrace and soft gentle skin.
I really miss all of you mum.
Sleep well mum, sweet dreams god bless love you xx

Hello mum, just thinking about you while listening to "my heart will go on" on the radio. miss you so much xx love you always Andrea xx

Hello mum, another month gone by without you with us. I cant believe that it will be 10 years in March. It still doesn't feel real. so much has happened that you would have loved to have seen and been part of. You should have been part of it too. Your life was snatched away from you way too soon. There are so many things that you and dad should have got to do. Dad was only months away from retiring and then you could have done those things together. It makes me so sad knowing that you and dad will never experience these things. I know you are looking down at us and keeping us safe. Every time I see a robin or a labybird I feel close to you. Thank you so much for being the greatest mum anyone could wish for. I wish I could tell you directly and I hope you knew how much I loved you. Goodnight mum, sweet dreams, god bless, love you xx Andrea xx
