Life is hard without you Mum, our 3rd Christmas without you and it seems even harder this year. Time does not heal, nor does it make it easier, the longer without you the more difficult it becomes. I want you here to reassure me, laugh with me, moan with me...I could even handle a good telling off or that look and the word 'fine' uttered, that dear Pat mentions from time to time :) Most of all I just want you close and to give me a big hug, miss you so very much still, always will. Love you with all my heart xxxxxx
