Mum, I can't believe you're gone, I have honestly never felt so broken. But I'm grateful to have many wonderful memories of you, the best mum I could ever ask for and all the years of things we did together. Lunches out, holidays with Nan & Granddad and more.
It's funny, when you're a little kid, you never imagine this day will come, and I never could imagine this being real. But I know you're with Nan, Granddad, Simon and others who left us here, before you, and I know you're not suffering anymore. You left on your terms, and I hope you know that I was with you all the way.
You fought your illness so bravely for many years, you were so strong for such a long time. But in spite of it all, you kept your sharp sense of humour and you even made your carers laugh, they thought the world of you.
At least I have the knowledge that I'll see you again one day mum, and that's something for me to hold on to. But until then, you take our love with you. And while I am here, I will miss your physical presence always.
I love you mum, always. And I hope you'll continue to guide me in the right direction, just as you always have throughout my entire life.
