It's my lovely mum's birthday today. There's no one else to remember except me. She died next week 7 years ago. She's was always so pleased to be a 12th night baby and would never take the decs down until after as it made her birthday more special. I just wanted to tell someone.
Thank you.

I'm so sorry this must be difficult.

Happy birthday to your lovely mum, and I hope you're doing ok! 🌷

Happy birthday to your mum. You have to remember their traditions and what made them tick with a smile if you can.

Love to you and to your mum. I have been missing mine too at this time of year.

She'll be happy that you remember her with love and fondness. Sorry you have to carry the pain of her death around with you as is the case Flowers

Your mum sounds lovely. I am sorry there is no one else to remember her. But I am drinking a mulled wine if you would like me to raise the glass to her. Sending you love.

Thank you! You've all made me smile! After many years of her not understanding why I like red wine she finally succumbed to mulled wine rather gracefully so I'll take that glass thank you. I miss her so. X

Just seen this. I love and miss my (midsummer birthday) Mum so much too. She died in July 2021, but it’s not got easier yet really. 12th night is a great day for a birthday (shared with Sherlock Holmes). Love to you and to your lovely mum. Look after yourself. Cherish the memories and try to find the joy amidst the sadness. Easier said than done though I know.

Best wishes to you, it's tough. Your mum must have died the same week as mine :(

Happy Birthday to your mother and know that your tale of her and her memory and the decorations has made me smile. She lives on in you.
