Saying goodbye

Today I said goodbye to an irreplaceable woman. My mum. She was a very elegant, graceful, strong and caring woman who fought to the very end. She laughed, sang and danced her way through life. She had the biggest heart - always putting someone else's needs above hers and trying to make every moment special and memorable. These beautiful unique traits not only made mum irreplaceable, but made her my best friend.

I hate waking up to a world she is no longer a part of - but I know she will always be by my side - singing, dancing and telling me to slow down on the tequila.

We were all very lucky to have such an amazing mother and although her time was cut short, the vast amount of memories we have together will last forever.

I know we were all hoping for a miracle towards the end, but the true miracle was having her in our lives, and we are the lucky ones who were able to witness my mum the miracle.

I love you mum.
