A lot has changed in 17 years but not a day goes by I don’t think about you Mum and how much I miss you. There are so many things I want to share with you, but can’t. So many things I’ll never get to experience.

I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever actually fully accepted the amount of things I’ve missed out on, but one thing is for sure. I love you Mum, wherever you may be.

You’re the reason I carry on, I hope I make you proud, at least most of the time.
