we spent so much time over eastpark im suprised that they didnt charge us rent, we would go over in the morning and come back at night. take packed lunches or go to the chippy and just chill together all day. they were really good times that i remember well and always will,  even now when i go there its like your still there which somehow gives me comfort, i even look at the main place you used to sit (what i would do to see you sitting there again). used to have jock following us everywhere like a lost puppy (he had it bad lol)  but with your infectious smile who could blame him for trying. whenever the fair was there you could always find you on the waltzers, you loved them and would get whoever you could to go on with you. next time its there im gonna go on just for you mom xxxxx 

mom had five children, myself , vicki, kim, andy, and nicky. me and mom had our ups and downs, people said we were both stubborn and too alike (they were right) but i loved her and know she loved me too, she was more than my mom she was my best friend too, not many daughters went night clubbing with their mom or was pregnant at the time as their mom so thats memories i can treasure. VICKI mom nicknamed her trouble when she was little, not much as changed (only jokin sis). i see alot of mom in you, you have her strengths and her temper (especially where your kids were concerned) moms fiery side will live on in you. KIM the quiet one and the one mom called brains of the family, she was very proud that at least one of us would have a career. you have moms soft side in you the kind of voice to calm you and comfort you. ANDY moms only boy that she waited so long for and was so proud of, you were and always will be her little boy,she said you would always be the man of this family. NICKY her youngest child maybe the spoilt one that got away with stuff the rest of us didnt, but thats because you was and always will be her baby. a part of mom is in all of us and its up too us to keep moms memory alive. love you all xxxx

most brides have their dad give them away but my wedding day was extra special as it was my mom that gave me away. on the morning of the wedding i remember crying because it started raining (silly me) she told me to stop my tears and that it didnt matter cuz today was going to be one of the best days of my life and she was right. i wasnt nervous at all until i got to the church then as i walked up the steps it hit me. i told her i wanted to go home and that i couldnt breathe, yet again she calmed me down and told me i would be fine and as i put my arm in hers i felt safe again. we walked down the aisle and she was shaking more than me and as i turned  to her i saw a tear roll down her face and she smiled, thankyou mom for being the best mom ever and il always cherish that you gave me away xxxx
