I hope that one day we will be together, I hope that you and Dad are together now, and that you walk beside us all. Sometimes I’m sure that I feel a presence and I’m so certain it’s one of you, I hope it is.
I love you both very much. Xxx

"When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. Let God speak within you, and your thoughts will grow silent. You are anxious because your path leads away from mother and home. But every step and every day lead you back again to the mother. Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all." -Herman Hesse (Bäume)
My Mum will always be with me, in my heart, in my strength, in my compassion, in my wisdom. All the best parts of me are her. I hope one day we'll be together again.

I often dream about you, in my dreams you're alive and well and you're sharing in life with us.
In my dreams you never went away, in my dreams life is happy because I have my Mum, my best friend, the most amazing woman I'll ever know.
But it's just dreams, and I wake up and you're not here and it's like losing you all over again, almost every morning when I wake up.

It’s your 70th Birthday today. God how I wish you were here, how I wish I could hug you, and sit with you. I want to hear your voice and hear your laugh, but it’s just a faint echo that I can’t quite catch anymore. 17 years feels like an eternity and my memory is too foggy.
And there’s pain and guilt for letting you down, for not doing more for you, for not being better for you and there’s an ache because you were my best friend and you meant so much and I’m sad for all you’ve missed and will continue to miss. And I’ve let you down, I’m not living my life, I’m just existing in a lonely isolated world and you’d be so disappointed because you wanted me to live and be happy but I don’t know how.
I wish you were here Mum, I love you
