Mama, the last few months have been a struggle and an ending you never deserved. But you fought so very very tirelessly and we are so grateful for the extra handful of sweet and funny moments that we got with you because of that. You are truly the strongest, bravest, most authentic and selfless person I will ever know and I could not have been luckier to be your daughter. I have cried for you, and also me, countless times recently. I have cried over a chase and status song, a patchwork blanket and the thought you won't get to see Ella graduate and all the amazing things she will do. But we have also laughed and celebrated so many things about you, and we can only thank you for being able to reflect on those too. I miss you endlessly and my heart is broken but I am so grateful to have had you as my mum. I spent the morning sat outside with a giant cup of tea mulling everything over, thinking of you and having a big cry but I feel much better now than when I woke up. I love you always xxx
