💔 Mum, I hope you can see from Heaven what a great belated birthday holiday I and we have all had. We’ve laughed so much and yes Mum you’ve guessed it we’ve drank too much including me too!
The saddest part is not being able to tell you all about it once I’m home, love you Mum 💔

💔Mum, grief is like living two lives, one is where you “pretend”everything is alright, and the other is where your heart silently screams in pain, love and miss you Mum more than words can convey 💔

💔 Mum, grief never ends but it changes. My love for you will forever remain the same 💔

We went out for a lovely meal and a drag show last night in Turkey to celebrate my 60th and it was fabulous, how lucky I am to have such a loving, caring family 💔

💔 Mum, today brings back so many heart breaking memories of the day we had to take you to your final resting place 🙏 Our hearts were broken then and still are today 💔 As sad as today is Mum, with most of us together it is also the day we are going on my belated 60th birthday holiday which last year was originally a very well kept secret even by you! This time Maria & Mark are coming but sadly not Janice and David. We will raise a glass or two in memory of you Mum, Dad & Phyllis too, forever in our hearts we all love and miss each one of you 💔
