Happy Mothers' Day Mum

Even though my Mum passed away six years ago this coming November I've always thought about her and I think even more so today since it is Mother's Day.
At Church this morning during Sacrament we had two of the sisters come up and talk about Mum's and what they mean. One of them read the most beautiful poem that she composed for her own mother many years ago. It was so special and it made me realise how many wonderful things my own Mum did for me.
I know she wasn't meant to have favourites but she would always get me that extra gift at Christmas and say don't tell the others or she would give me an extra one for my birthday making it just that little bit more special a day. She was also get the boys a few extra toys at Christmas and for their birthdays making me promise that I wouldn't tell my brothers and sisters that they came from Mum.
I know Mum took great pride in teaching me to drive. In some ways she was glad that I was independent but I think in others she was also sad that her baby was growing up.
I remember quite fondly that Mum would introduce me to her friends or her Avon customers as her baby. She was even saying that right up until she passed away and I was in my early 30's at that stage.
So even though I miss you dearly upon this mortal plain I know that I shall see you again when the time is right. I know it still hurts to know that you aren't with me but I am at least comforted with the knowledge that we WILL be together again.


Happy Mothers' Day Mum!
