I would like to
dedicate this space to my mother, who recently gained her 'Angel Wings' (June
2023, Rest In Peace).
When my mum
passed away suddenly this year, it felt like half of me had died with her—but
because I know she’s in heaven now, I know that part of me will live on
forever. I miss her so much. However, every day, I try to focus on all the
wonderful memories we made together and all the things she taught me—so that
when I think of her now, it doesn't hurt as much.
My mum was my
world; she was the reason I woke up every day, and she made sure I did it with
a smile on my face. She taught me the most important lessons in life. She
showed me how to be kind and caring—not just with others but with myself as
well. She taught me that no matter what happens, there are always things we can
do to make ourselves happy.
When I think
back on our time together, two things stand out: how much we loved adventuring
in Snowdonia, Wales enjoying the beautiful mountains, lakes, and of course
visiting the beach side cafes along the way. Then there were our daily chats
(sometimes idle rants) we had about everything under the sun—from politics to
the weather, which, by the way, always seemed to be nicer in Wales than
England. And no matter where I go from here, it will always remind me of her
love for life and for family—and what an incredible woman, she was!
Thank you for
everything you've done for me and our family, and thank you for always being
there when we needed you most.
Words alone
cannot sum up how much I miss my mother, but one thing for sure is I do!
An old saying
goes “Carpe Diem” which is Latin for “Seize the Day” Something I truly
recommend!
