Thinking of my mum today on her 15th anniversary away from us. I truly never learned what the words ‘I miss you’ were until I reached for my mums hand and it wasn’t there.. Grief is like the ocean, it comes in waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes is is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim. You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be. Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity💔🙏🏻🫶

11 years since my original first heartbeat stopped 11 years since the one who loved me most left 11 years since my one true friend and confidant closed her eyes for the last time 11 years since all our lives changed completely 11 years since my heart broke into a million pieces 11 years since my daddy gave up wanting to live without you My Mother My Friend My Creator Why did I not appreciate you when I had you Everything’s clear in hindsight 5 more minutes is all I ask 5 insignificant minutes of time to tell you how I feel 5 minutes to ask for forgiveness for all the times I hurt you 5 minutes to thank you for all you done for me This is not to be so all I can do is try to be the person you loved, fed ,clothed ,taught unconditionally To give the same love to my children that you gave to me So I ask for strength to face the heartaches of life to come and courage to face my fears Forever loved my mother Forever remembered As you taught me THOSE WHO ARE REMEMBERED NEVER DIE 💔

miss you so much mummy xx
