  7. Mum you were the sunshine in my life that supplied me warmth and hope when the skies threatened with rain, you were the moonlight that provided comfort and guidance when I found myself on a darkened path, whenever rivers of love flowed through my veins you were its source and my admiration for you stretched as far as the deepest ocean floor to the highest mountain peak.

    Put simply mum, you were my world, my everything and gave me a life full of love, kindness, compassion, fun and laughter and I’ll be forever grateful to you for it.

    So faced with the final farewell to a mum only just gone but so sadly missed already I make this one last promise to her.

    Mum just as you loved and cared for me from my first breath, I will love and cherish you until I take my last.

    Goodbye beautiful and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the mum you were to me.

    My dreams are where you live now.
