Mam, your golden boy turned 21 today, and he really felt you missing from the celebrations. The way you always made such a fuss of him - he misses that so much. We all do.

Ethan had a lovely weekend celebrating, but there’s always that gaping hole at every celebration because you’re not here with us. But we still bring you in, every single time. We talk about you, we include you, we raise a glass for you.

Always with us. Never forgotten.

Nine months ago today, we lost you, Mam, and It hurts just as much as it did then. Some days it still doesn’t feel real. I can hear your voice as clearly as ever, and I can picture your mischievous laugh when you’d done something cheeky. Our memories together are vivid and precious, and I will hold on to them always.
I would give anything to sit with you for a catch up, share the gossip, see your smile, wrap you in the biggest hug, and tell you how much you mean to me.
I will love and miss you for the rest of my life. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

🌷 Happy 1st Heavenly Mother’s Day, Mam 🌷  
It breaks my heart not to see your smile today, not to give you your card, your flowers, your gifts… not to take you out, raise a glass, and make more memories. Losing you meant losing a huge part of myself.  
But I know you’re watching over us, proud as ever.  
I’ll love you and miss you forever
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mam, my first birthday without you and it hits hard! No birthday cake you insisted on buying, no thoughtful card or gift that showed your love. We always celebrated together. Last year we went to see Bridget Jones film, meal at Muswanna and sipped prosecco. If I had known it would be our last I would have ordered champagne! I've got so many photos of us celebrating over the years, every single one I'll cherish. I know you'll be raising a glass to me today, wishing me a happy birthday in your way.
P.S I missed making you pancakes yesterday

Taken me a while to put this up, a gift from Chlo as the lyrics hit hard.
When I heard the words about dreaming of someone in a million lives and choosing them every time, it felt like they were written for me and you, Mam. That’s our bond — strong and forever. The song reminded me that no matter where you are now, I’d still choose you in every life, and I feel you choosing me too in all the little signs you leave.
Forever loved, forever missed 💔

Nan, today we went to the Mamma Mia show. The birthday present I bought you in January last year and teased you about, you didn’t believe I’d got you something so far in advance. I never got to tell you what the surprise was. I know you would’ve absolutely loved it, I could picture you singing and dancing along. The show was amazing. We laughed, danced and cried throughout. I wish you could’ve been there enjoying yourself. I know you were there in spirit. I love and miss you more than anything❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tonight completely broke me. It was the last plan we ever made with Mam, all thanks to Chloe surprising us with tickets for Mamma Mia.  

Your favourite film, Mam  and somehow every lyric felt like it was speaking straight to us.  

I could feel you with us,  crying with us, laughing with us, and taking in every moment of the show.  

Tonight was so hard, but I know you were with us. 

Forever loved, forever missed ❤️

We will be raising a glass for you tonight nan as we go into 2026. I still can’t believe you aren’t here with us. I’ll miss the phone call from you on New Year’s Day reminding us not to do any washing as it’ll wash our fortune away! I promise to keep your memory alive in 2026 and beyond. I miss and love you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Mam, as 2025 comes to a close - the year we lost you, the year our hearts broke in a way we've never felt before, i want you to know you'll never be forgotten.
You never really celebrated New Years, preferring to be tucked up in bed. But you always answered our calls at midnight to wish us a Happy New Year.
2026 will be a year you won't be part of and it hurts so much to feel time turning without you I promise I am carrying you forward into 2026, into everything we do. You will ALWAYS be part of our lives.
I miss you so much Mam. I love you beyond words and will hold you in my heart today, tomorrow and always.

Merry Christmas Nan. This one’s a lot different without you here. Christmas was always one of your favourite times of year and I know you’d be so excited now. I know you’ll still be with us in spirit but I’d give anything for you to be here with us physically. We’ll be raising a glass for you and talking about the many good times we had. I miss you always & love you forever ❤️❤️❤️

Merry Christmas Mam, miss you so much.
I miss our Christmas shopping, trawling from shop to shop. You always making sure you had the biggest (and best shaped) turkey crown. The endless number of chocolate bars you'd always try and persuade us to take home with us.
I miss our Christmas nights out, with silly flashing lights and Santa hats . Our family Christmas eve meal with drinks and you blaming me for your hangover when cooking Christmas dinner.
I miss us planning which buffet food we taking to the Comm and drinking gin before dancing the night away. 
I miss us laughing, singing, dancing making memories. 
I just miss you and always will.
Merry Christmas Mam, I wish you were here celebrating with us
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

6 months without you and it still feels like yesterday but also so long ago. I’d give anything for you to be here and getting ready to celebrate one of your favourite times of year, Christmas. Christmas is going to be so different without you but as always, there will be a seat at the table reserved just for you. There’s so much I wish I could update you on and keep you up to date with all the goss! I miss you more than words can say, I love you forever❤️❤️❤️

Six months have passed since you left, and my heart still aches with missing you. I think of you every day, and I carry your love with me in everything I do.  This time last year, we were getting ourselves ready for our winter sun holiday after Christmas, choosing what to pack, laughing together, and looking forward to some much needed sun. Those memories are so vivid, and they remind me of all the happy times we had.
Even though you’re not here in the way you once were, I feel your presence around me. In quiet moments, in songs that remind me of you, in the little signs that make me pause, I know you’re close. Your love still surrounds me,  comforting me, and reminding me that you'll aways be by my side . I miss you so much Mam, and I love you endlessly. Six months feels like forever and yet like yesterday. Love and miss you forever xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mam, we went axe throwing toda. I could never get you to do this with us - you much preferred sitting in a cosy pub with glass prosecco or gin whilst waiting for us to finish. You'll be pleased to know my aim is as good as it always has been! Missed you today, as I do even day xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well Mam, you had the most amazing birthday with all those who loved you raising a glass. Seems guilt has gotten to those who couldn't find the time for you when you were alive. Amazing how their narrative gets twisted for their own gain. Sorry for the scene but am more sorry I didn't get the opportunity to tell them how much they hurt you
We are all fine, the truth is known xxxxxxxxxx

I miss you more than words can say,
Every night and every day.
Your love still warms my broken heart,
Though life feels colder since we're apart.
I'd give the world to see your face,
To feel your hug, your sweet embrace.
My love for you will never fade
It shines through every tear I've made.
Forever Mam, you'll always be
The soul of love inside of me.

First birthday without you and it hurts so much. I’d give anything for you to spend one more hour with me. We’re going to celebrate as you’d want us to. We scattered some of your ashes today in one of your favourite places. Forever on holiday & missed❤️❤️

This time last year, we walked into this very sea side by side, laughing, soaking in the moment. Today, we returned to that same spot and let a little of you drift into the waves.  
One of your favourite places, and just the first of many where we’ll scatter pieces of you with love.  
Forever on holiday
