This is the third year of birthday thoughts where you are not here in person. Each year is hard without you but I am eternally grateful that you are my mum and today is your birthday. Happy birthday wishes are too few words, and the meaning of your birthday is far greater to remember you by. I am thankful for your birthday day as it meant I was born . I am thankful for everything you have taught me of how to show how to be kind, compassionate , fun , loving and most of all resilience. All of these qualities in you, you have shown me how to embrace and enable your life to be endless as you have passed these onto your beloved children. The memories of moments shared are endless which help me through this journey without you. I miss you every day and think and talk to you every day, but I miss your being here and sharing my new dreams and life events. But I am eternally thankful for you for being my mum and I will always treasure your love. Love you always and forever Mum xx
