A week ago my beautiful Mum, Jean, collapsed at home. She was taken by ambulance to hospital. She's finally coming home today.
Mum is 81 but still very 'with it'. We have been best friends for 52 years.
I speak to Mum every day and share the good (and the bad) things that happen in my life. My Mum is a great role model - she taught me how to be a mother, how to laugh, how to love, how to be a 'cup half full' person rather than the alternative.
She is a strong believer in "everything happens for the best" and "what goes around comes around".
She's been a hard worker all her life. She was a cook and I thank her for fostering my own love of cooking.
My Mum is the best grandmother - she takes such pride in her 7 grandchildren. She makes them laugh because she can be a character at times. A simple phone call or visit from her grandkids can make her smile for days.
I am so lucky to still have her with me.
I love you Mum. xxx
