My Mum

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM, I miss you.


 In honour of my Mum who passed away suddenly last night (8th December).
It would have been her 91st birthday today.
This picture was taken just 6 months ago. She was always laughing.

    Oh Viv,
    I am so sorry to hear of your Mum's passing. She looked beautiful, it is hard to believe she was 90 in this picture. You must have gotten your happy nature from your Mum! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    I just loved reading about your going out with her to do Christmas shopping etc. She looks fabulous in this picture - what a great smile. May your heart be warmed by fond memories and may those around you bless you with their love and support. My prayers will be with you.

    OMG.. 1st how sorry I am. I am one of the lucky ones out there that knows the love between a mom and daughter. 2nd what a beautiful woman and you ARE so lucky. I don't believe in "was" she will forever be right there with you. I just asked my mother how old did she think she is.. she said not over 65-70 You have great genes. Stay strong. My prayers are with you.

    Ah, Viv,
    I'm so very sorry. From your blog I know you were close. I hope that comforts you in the days to come. My mom is getting older too, and I know I'd be lost. You, and your family are in my prayers.

    Trying to explain sympathy in a foreign language is even more difficult than in one's own. Though your loss is hard to bear, you have the blessing to know that she did have such a long life, lasting good health, you beside her and in the end no suffering. I am with you in my thoughts and prayers.

Today would have been my dad's 92nd birthday but I know he is looking down on me and he and mum are at peace, take comfort in knowing that your mum has gone to a better place.
