It’s coming up to my Mum’s birthday on the 12th October – she passed away just over 2 years ago after experiencing an altered mental state for several years.
A few weeks after she passed, my sister found this note in one of her bibles and posted it to me.
I can see and feel her love in the struggle to write a simple greeting for me.
A cascade of beautiful memories of how she showed she loved me throughout my life happens each time I pause and read her words.
The interesting thing is that I could focus on how devastated I could be that she couldn’t write a clear sentence, of how disjointed and confused her words are…
Instead I choose to feel her deep love, as only a mother can feel, where she wants to share that with me across all boundaries and limitations.
Love you Mum, and deepest gratitude for the memories.
