Letter to my Mum

Dear Mum

It has been nearly 5 years since you left us and not a day doesn't go by when you are not missed.
You were taken from us too early, but I know God had other plans for you.

I never got a chance to tell you how much I love you and to thank you for the great job you did raising me and Jon even through the hard times.
I know we argued, we were both stubborn and at times I didn't make your job easy. You were only watching out for me and caring for me as mums do.

Your grand-daughter Tirzah was 3 yesterday and I am saddened that you will not be around to be the great nanny I know you would be and to see her grow up and blossom into a beautiful young woman with hopes and dreams.
You would be on hand to offer advice when I am struggling with her and when I am being silly to say "Oh Rachel" and oh boy do I need both sometimes.

Even after 5 years I still go to pick up the phone to tell you something exciting, to get some advice or even just for one of our chats, but then realisation sets in and I remember you are not here and I will never be able to share with you, ask your advice or just chat again.

I know you are in a far better place, no longer in pain and are cancer free.

I miss you so much every day and Love you with all my heart.

Love Rach xx
