7 years yesterday Mum...wow it's an eternity it seems to me. I miss you with all my heart, I miss family life which has but disappeared since you've been gone :( ... Pat is my strongest connection to you now, he loves you so very much, I don't know what I will do when it's time for him to join you, hoping that will still be a long time away, but his stubbornness in looking after Joan is not doing his health any good at all. Mum I wish you were here to talk to, to have a hug, to just sit quietly with, to have that voice of reason guiding me, still so very lost without you. In my thoughts every single day xxxx
