Today it has been 8 years since our world was shattered by the news that Mum had passed away unexpectedly in her sleep. So much has happened in those 8 years and I know Mum would love those changes. I firmly believe salt water, be it the ocean, tears or sweat is the cure for most things, including grief and heartbreak. So this morning we did all 3. We went and sat by the ocean, cried and sweated through a typically hot and humid build up morning. We talked about Mum, laughed, cried, spoke about the changes the past 8 years have presented and remembered with so much love the incredible Mum, wife, friend and carer of everyone she loved. When Mum loved you, you knew, there was never any doubt. The parties, the thoughtful presents, the phone calls, and especially the hugs. Miss you Mum
