Dear Mum - I am feeling bereft without you. I know I am going to miss you so so much. You have been a constant part of my life both as a child and as an adult. You have always been there for me, supporting me and encouraging me. We have spoken nearly everyday for the past 60 years. You have been such a massive part of my life. You have been my friend as well as my mother - always ready to listen, to offer advice, to have a moan with, to have a laugh with and to have a gossip with. You are the one I have always turned to - and now, you won't be there anymore. I don't know how I will manage without you, I really don't, but I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. You really have been the best mum in the World. Thank you! Love you for always, miss you forever, Pauline xxx
