Lit by Wendy 7th April 2016
1 year today since your funeral mum. 1 year since we laid you in the ground. The year has been so hectic it seems to have flown past but also the year has been so sad and traumatic that it seems a lifetime ago since your funeral. It was a beautiful day and the weather was really warm and sunny, today is so cold here it's like winter again. I don't think I will ever come to terms with losing you mum, I just can't accept life without you. We built such a close bond between us that it became unbreakable so I'm hoping you will be there, waiting for me when my time comes to join you. Meanwhile I still have a lot of living to do. Your affairs are almost finished now, I just need to sort your grave which I'm in the process of doing......as promised mum, you will have one of the poshest graves in the cemetery, I hope you approve of my choice. I'm working with Barbara to finalize the wording and design as I felt she would like to add her own expertise, so your grave should look beautiful and do justice to my dear mum. I've had so much work to do to wind up your affairs mum, I know you would never have given me so much work and responsibility if you realised how much I had to do but I'm very nearly there now so don't worry anymore about my workload. I will keep my promise to watch over you mum and I think of you every day. I will forever love you, I will forever miss you. Xxx
