She was only 58. It was cancer. Not sure how to feel really; except sad. It still hasn't sunk in. Will go and put flowers down. The day after is dds 4th birthday so I expect I will be making her birthday cake for part of the day. Wierd. Cycle of life I guess.

First anniversary is always hard.

I lost my dad 6 years ago ( has only sunk in the past few years to be honest) My DS birthday is the day after anniversary too, I see this as abit of a blessing as it gives me something to focus on.

Sending m'net hugs for tomorrow

Thinking of you and hugs, I have my mums first anniversary next April!! Easter will certainly be hard as she died around that time. It has got a little easier since but I still get very sad moments of my days where I miss her loads x

I hope the day can go as well as it can do. Do something you know your mum would love. I think we will go out for a meal as she would love us to do that, or have a focus on the children as my mum thought the world of my girls.

Take care x
