Today is the very sad day of Mum’s funeral; in fact at the very moment this is published at 1pm GMT, I will be standing along with my husband and family saying a sad farewell to Mum.
So I am just going to share with you a picture collage that I made for a recent post in remembrance of Mum’s birthday and a poem that just seems perfect.
If roses grow in heaven
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,Place them in my Mother’s armsand tell her they’re from me.Tell her I love her and miss her,and when she turns to smile,place a kiss upon her cheekand hold her for awhile.Because remembering her is easy,I do it every day,but there’s an ache within my heartthat will never go away.

May my Mum rest in peace and know that she will be in our hearts forever.

Julie, I'm so sorry for your loss. My mum died when I was 33, and it affected me in ways I had not expected. I remember the day I found myself exhibiting one of her “quirks” and exclaiming to my husband “Oh my goodness, I'm turning into my mother!” He looked surprised and said “You're just now realizing that?!” I hope you'll share your insights over the coming months, *and* I hope your wonderful memories of your mother will help you through this difficult time.
