first Christmas without you

We missed you dearly this holiday season, doing the family Xmas without you. You would have loved all the kids and laughter and foods. Dad did so well, you would be proud of him. He has learnt so much this year, doing life without you is hard. He has learnt how to use the washing machine, hang washing , buy his own undies to mention a few. He has made new friendships and kept alive old one. You would be so impressed he even taking us girls away on a weekend holiday soon! we all think of you often and treasure the life you gave us. We love you mum. May this year bring us peace , joy , happiness in doing life without you

Always in my heart

Mum As your anniversary approaches I still can't believe you are gone.  I think about those last weeks often and am filled with grief. But as I told the story of our last days with u on this earth, our family there, great grandchildren singing to you, surrounding you with all the care and love u deserved - they pointed out how lucky we were to have the opportunity to all be present right to the end. I miss your smile and warm hugs. I even miss your confusing chats and little comments at the end. But I feel so blessed to have had such an amazing mum to guide us and love us and especially all the support you gave to us and our 3 boys. Miss you and love you always.

Mum

My beautiful mum 💖 I miss your voice, your laughter, your phonecalls. The way you always made us feel loved in our lows and you celebrated all our highs. I still tell you my news and I swear I can hear your comforting advice in my harder days. I just wish I can have one more hug. You gave the most wonderful hugs mum. Instead of learning to live without you ... I take the best of you with me . Everyday. I know you are still close mum. I love you ❤️

To mum

If only I knew this was your last few days with us, I would have held your hand tightly and not let you fall. But then I wouldn’t have seen the crazy look on dad’s face as you tumbled into the small waves. I would have reminded you a hundred times over that I love you, I would have thanked you for all the amazing things you have done for me over my life. We loved you till the very last second you drew your last breathe as we surrounded you in love. We promise to hold dad close till he back in your arms. Thankyou for being my mother❤️
