It's that time again.

The anniversary of my Mums death is creeping upon me.  It's funny how you can be sailing along fine one minute , and bawling your eyes out the next.

I conceder myself a strong woman,  but man do I miss that lady!  Her smile, her wisdom, even her "smell" You don't fully appreciate what you have until its gone.

If she were here right now at this moment, I would thank her first for giving me life.  For teaching me to be independent, to stand up for what I believe in, and showing me how to be a woman.  I would thank her for her unconditional love, for my siblings, and for always putting herself second to ensure we had whatever we needed.

She is an amazing woman, and I hope I make her proud. I love you, Mum!
