Happy Christmas Mum ❤
You'll be glad you aren't here for this year.
9 months into the carona virus pandemic. I've not been able to cuddle anyone but Tony for 6 weeks. Before that only Tony, Aaron and Conor. I haven't cuddled Paul, Shelley or Dad for 9 months. We've hardly seen each other or anyone as we've all had to isolate on and off all that time. I was working from home.
We moved to Bideford in November. You would love it and the Bungalow.
We are on our own for Christmas this year, me, Tony and the dogs as Aaron brought the Harlow house, they are tier 4 and can't leave their area only for his work, which is classed as front line. Conor is staying with his partner for Christmas bit lives with us. We are teir 2 at the moment.
I really do hope you are in a better place for you. I miss you like crazy down here. I still come in sometimes and think I must ring Mum and tell her. While we were packing to move, I found some things of yours. 1 was a little doll cover, I smelt it and it still smelt of you. It's been 5 and a half years and I didn't think I would ever smell you again. I cried. Sometimes I still need you. I will always want you.
Last year Auntie Marion joined you so I hope you've caught up and are having a laugh.
Love you

Happy birthday Mum, hope you're having a ball up there. I still sometimes think, I must call Mum & tell her that. I'm still so angry at times but I can't explain why. I know you were ready to go, you'd had enough but you were far too young. All my love always.

Mum, it's been 3 years since you fell asleep forever. Where has that time gone. I thought I was ok today but tonight is hard. It's pancake day & I made them just like yours & with lemon & sugar. Why didn't you look after yourself & give us more time together. You'd be proud of all the boys, they're doing well. Only a few months left at school for Will then there's just Mattie left at school. Well come & see you on your birthday. Love you & miss you. Xxxxx

I can't believe it's been a year since you went to sleep forever mum. I miss you & I love you. All your grandsons are growing into fine young men & boys. We visited your tree today & they all done you proud. Mattie even remembered your chewing gum & left 1 for you. Xxxx

Happy 70th birthday Mum. We miss you. All our love. Karen, Tony, Aaron and Conor xxxxxxxxxxxx

I miss you Mum. I hope you are up there with Nanny, Grandad, Uncle Den, Uncle Terry, Auntie Muriel and their baby, Auntie Rene and Danny having a fine old time. Love you forever xxxxxxxx.
