Well today my Mum would have been 67...she died a month before her 65th birthday, far too young but unfortunately not far too soon for her. That may sound harsh but Mum had suffered due to diabetes and its nasty effects for many years and I mean suffered..triple heart by pass, loss of eye sight, kidney failure, amputation of one leg and then gangrene setting in her other foot just weeks before she passed, loss of her hair at stages..more or less anything you could think of, so when I say she needed to die, I dont say it lightly, she deserved her rest...but we deserved her here and healthy
Anyway Im not posting to moan but to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM xx my heart and soul ache every minute Im awake, for you, you lived for your family..literally, or I do believe you would have gone years before, but no, as ever you fought on for us..like you did all our lives..we couldn't have dreamed in the most wonderful dream of a better Mum, wife, Nanny for our family.
Hard working, loving, kind, gentle, strict :P when needed, but not often...selfless, beautiful, funny, gentle I could carry on and on.
I wish I was coming to your house to shower you with gifts and a home made card from Katie, the apple of your eye, but instead Im facing the prospect of going to a memorial garden with flowers...somewhere Im ashamed to say, that I dont want to go.

Hope you are at peace Mum and know we were all with you to the very end and just how wonderful and special you are to us, our family is NOT the same you were the glue that kept us in place but we do try I promise, as I know how important we are to you, we wont let the family fall apart as it would break your heart
Love you Mum xxx bye for now
