Mum you truly were an amazing mum, I don't think it has sunk in yet that you've been reunited with dad. I thought losing him was hard. Nothing compares to this raw anguish, to think that you my beautiful smart loving caring and amazing mum all round. said goodbye twice but kept us all together knowing how many loved 1s you had had to say bye to but stay strong for others. Mum I don't think I can do it I miss u so much. You really did touch the lives of many and I'm trying to be strong and to be like you to offer comfort to my kids, uncles n aunts friends n neighbours but I clearly don't get that gene from u. I have an emptiness inside me that I don't think will ever fill. Ur mother's day gifts are under the stairs what a shit day that was and 2day was no better. The days blur into others your son and von have been amazing but if I come back to reality what do I do about Mondays for 21 yrs that's been our day even when my grandchildren came along and they all loved you so much as there Gnan. I'm grateful that u went with no pain mummy and that I heard dad say he had u but it's such a shock u was out with friends the night b4. This world was a better place with u in it 💔your ever loving daughter channtel xxx
