This was always going to be a hard one for me. As every Mother's Day passes by and the years continue without her, the more difficult this particular day is becoming.
The sad fact is I don't have that many pictures of her and maybe that is why documenting the days, months and years ahead is getting more and more important to me.
I know she wouldn't want any sadness, today or any other day, so i try to stay tough, but it's not easy. She was such an inspiration to me and all those around her. I'm extremely happy to have very fond memories of my childhood growing up with her as a mother, it wasn't always easy as she had her own issues to deal with just like most people do. Her life was taken far too soon, but i'm pushing to keep her memory alive.
Happy Mother's day to each and every Mum out there today - You all deserve it.
Very poignant. Lovely tribute. I'm sure you miss her very much.
I found last year's Mothering Sunday to be quite hard (it was my first without her), but this year, I've found myself oddly detached from it all.
@humphreyhippo Thanks and yes i do. We were so close and her loss at the time to such a nasty disease shook me to my core. It just seems to be this one day now, where it's literally 'in the air' that i find hardest. Sorry for your recent loss too. Thanks for leaving a comment :)
Definitely your beautiful mother left way too young... younger than what I'm now. I'm sure you miss her deeply but it's great that you keep her memory alive.
I too find Mother's day quite hard which is why I went for a bonus word today. Well done!!
