I miss my mum …. a lot …. especially on days like today.
If mum had lived she would have turned 90 today. She passed away on the 28th of February, 1987, at the age of just 66.
Please excuse me if I’m a little bit distant from time to time today or if I act a little odd. Well, odder than I usually act anyway.
They say that time heals but I’m not completely convinced. I think the truth may be a combination of healing over time and the the fact that time helps us learn how to cope with missing a loved one.
Memories continue to fade yet a word, a sight or a sound can bring back vivid recollections and a sadness that mum’s not here anymore.
Thankfully we had a good relationship so there are no regrets of things left unsaid or undone.
The best news of all is that we will meet again one day in a place where there will be no more tears and no more pain. I’m not so keen on hastening that day but I do look forward to it …. and it makes me smile.

Same here, know your pain, my mum passed away at 52 and I was only 28 then 🙁 it’s now 10 years ago and still hurts. I was to young to loose my mum, but when is ever old enough, there’s only one mum! My mum would’ve been 61 this year.
