Mum, where do I start? How do i put into words what a strong, beautiful, kind, loving, inspiring person you were. Loved by everyone. Mum was the life of every party always the first on the dance floor. Mum was beautiful inside and out. Always a go to for so many people, always there to listen and advise, the biggest wall to bounce thoughts off. Mum was the binding to so many books in so many ways. Mum was a people person, at her happiest with family and friends around her. Always the light of the conversation. Mum loved nature and inspired us to do the same, from hedgehogs, to wrens and blue tits, she loved and cared for them all. Mum was so brave and strong. She fought for life so hard for so long and always with the words ' I'm fine' and a smile. She protected everyone from the truth in the hardest of times. Mum I can't tell you how much I miss you. I would give anything to have one more morning conversation or just one more beautiful smile. I miss you so much. Mum your life was a blessing, Your memory is treasure, I love you beyond words, I miss you beyond measure, I thank you for everything, You are always, always on my mind, And forever in my heart. Love you mum. Barry xxx
