mum it has been a year now since you passed away. there have been so many things that have happened in those 12months, that i wish we could have shared with you. some happy and some sad but i know you are always with us. mum you could never know just how much we miss you. we would give anything to have you here but we know that is not possible. you have left us with such beautiful memories and those can never be taken away. you instilled qualities into me as a child that will last my whole life through, and that can be passed onto our children, your wonderful grandchildren. you really were the most wonderful and loving mother a person could ask for. you were always there for me no matter what, and for that i will be eternally grateful to you. i dont think i will ever come to terms with not having you in my life anymore. i will place flowers on your resting place today but i just wish i could hold you and see you for one more time, so i could tell you everything i need you to know. just how much i love and miss you and how sorry i am for any hurt and upset i have ever caused you while i was growing up. if i could have just one wish that is what it would be. miss you so much mum and love you eternally. your heartbroken daughter carol, your son in law craig and your beautiful grandchildren, matthew, leah and leighton xxxxxxxx
