MY MUM'S BIRTHDAY...

 Feeling a little nostalgic today as I remember my beautiful Mum's birthday.  She would have been 87 today...  I miss her at this time of year because when she was alive, we mostly got to celebrate it with her.

 

It has always been a hard day as we remember and celebrate my beautiful Mum.  She was more than a mum to me, she was also my best friend and I miss our heart to hearts.  She was the kindest woman I know and had the kindest heart.  More importantly she had a living faith and I know that we all were including our families covered by her prayers.  

Lots of people tell me I am the image of my Mum and I find no great compliment, but what I really want to be is like her heart and soul,  I want my inner heart to reflect her beautiful qualities also..

I feel extremely blessed to have been her daughter.  I miss her dreadfully.

I especially miss her this year though,  since Mum has passed away I always had Dad to ring on her birthday.. We would remember her birthday together, it a way ringing Dad and remembering Mum's birthday sort of kept her presence alive in our hearts...

I have really missed my Dad today because for the first time since I have lost Mum, I have had no one to ring and remember her special day with.  Dad was always someone I could ring and I know he felt the loss just like me....

Dad I not only miss Mum today but I am really missing you also... You have both left huge gaping holes in our lives...

As much as I miss my wonderful parents I am so thankful every day that I have been blessed to have had them as my parents.  I couldn't be prouder of them.  Their integrity, their courage, their love and generousity, but most importantly their faith and the life lessons they have taught us but our children also.... I LOVE YOU GUYS AND MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH...
