I went to a service tonight called "A Time To remember" I lit a candle in remembrance of you and as a reminder of the light in the darkness of my sorrow. This candle signified the love and the memories I have of you. May the brightness of this flame shine throughout our lives and may it be a light of hope for the future. May it give us warmth and safety in the cold and strengthen us in body, mind and spirit. All my love Mum x

Thinking of you today as I always do. It seems like only yesterday since I heard your funny, contagious laugh. Only yesterday we were planning a barbeque at your house 28/9/08. Little did we know that God was planning to bring you home 27/09/08. I still cannot believe you are gone. Why didn't you grasp on firmly to me and let me pull you through the mess you were in. Just like you always used to do. I am so grateful to the people who were there for me and took the time to listen to me and hold me as I wept. In the midst of this pain Tenisha has taught me to laugh again. It is not easy and sometimes I feel bitter because my anticipated freedom has been taken away. If I was asked would I do it all again... my answer is absolutely. She is a shining light in my life.... just like you. Love Mum xxx
