Mother's Day - another 'first', a different 'hard' 💜

Dear Mum

Today just sucks, today is all about you and you aren’t here 💜

If I could have one wish in the world, that would be to see you. I would do anything to give you a hug, buy you lunch, laugh with you, thank you for all the things I should have thanked you for, and most importantly tell you that ‘I Love You’.

I didn’t see you last Mother’s Day, not from lack of trying but because I got COVID, we were coming across to see you but at the very last minute, I decided to do a COVID test.

I don’t think I have ever missed a Mother’s Day, I may not have been with you but I would always call and send a present. That’s how I will always remember it (which means it’s probably not the case)!

You fought so hard and I am forever grateful that you did (and very proud), I know at times it must have been horrific, but you never gave up. I may not have told you but I really appreciated it, I appreciated everything you did for me, for us.

Not a day goes by without a tear, there is always something that reminds me of you. The tears aren’t always sad but there are always a few. I would say the past month has been hard, every month has been hard but the past 4 weeks have been tough; my birthday, Kel’s birthday, Greg’s 50th, and only on Friday we settled on Oakden. It’s so hard to believe that after 21 years, it’s no longer ours.

Where ever you are, I hope you are ok. I like to think you are somewhere out there watching over us, proud of us, and smiling.

I miss you so much, Mum.

I Love You 💜

Matt
