I miss you so much mum, days seem so much longer, so much darker and lonely. I miss seeing you every day and hearing your voice on the phone when I would call you several times a day.
You have always being my rock, my best friend, my protector and I owe so much to you. The road ahead seems so hard but I will go forward because I know you would want me to and I know that you will be guiding me and showering me with your love from heaven above. Your strength will be my strength, your love will be my comfort until I see you again. How I wish that I could be half the woman you were !!
The most devoted daughter, sister, wife, mum, nana, great nana, aunty and a friend to many. We are all so blessed to have had you in our lives and one day we will all be reunited in heaven. Sleep tight Mum, love you. Always have and always will !!! xxx
For Mum
The silence echoes
So quite yet so loud in my head
Thoughts, memories trying to escape
As I lie in my bed
I reflect on your life
So full and so true
A gift from God, so precious
That’s what I thought of you
Sacrificing everything for your family
That’s what you would do
Striving from day to day at times, to keep us safe
I owe everything to you
A truest, kindest heart of gold
A long life filled with love
Many stories often told and more to come
Now that you are in heaven above
So sleep tight my darling mum
You know I’ll miss you so
For a part of me went with you that day
The day you had to go
