I would love to have the strength to say a few words on the day but I’m not going to put myself under that pressure so I will use this page to explain to everyone how amazing and strong my Mumma was. From being diagnosed 9 and half weeks ago to sleeping peacefully amongst her wonderful family. My Mumma an outstanding wife, daughter, Mumma, nana, sister and friend to all. She has taught me alongside my pops to be the strong, confident and caring woman I am today and I know my two beautiful sisters feel the same. She was told “quality of life” was what she needed to think about and my goodness she did that. She didn’t sit down, walks, fishing, picnics, family dinners (cooked by herself of course), medieval festivals, a christening, shopping, organising, being loving, being caring and even ensuring katie had that ivy arch for her special wedding day, the one thing she made sure she wasn’t going to miss my Beautiful sister and brother-in-laws wedding . She was there, she was there with bells on beautiful, elegant and above everything so very witty having many of us in fits of giggles throughout the day!! She continued making every day count and making everyone in her path smile, laugh and feel amazing to be around her! .......But my heart is broken not having her around us, my heart is broken that she is not here to see my sisters and their wonderful families grow, my heart is broken as she won’t be here to see the children develop even more beautifully, my heart is broken that she will never know my family when I have one of my own but although my heart is broken I’m glad, I’m glad she is no longer in pain, I’m glad she no longer has to worry about what is going to happen to her and last but most definitely not least I’m glad that she was able to spend her last days in complete comfort with her wonderful family surrounding her doing what we do best... talking, laughing, eating picnics, sipping wine, attempting a crossword and supporting each other. My Mumma was and will continue to be my role model in life... love, care and support all of those around you no matter what. The main thing I have learnt from this tragedy is that you should live everyday like it’s your last, love, squeeze and care for all those closest to you because you will never truly know what is planned for you!! Watching up at the stars My Mumma xx
