Mum you've been gone 9 days and I miss you already. You were the bestest little mum and friend, I can't believe you're not here anymore. there's a place in my heart for you always and I know that you knew how much I loved you. I tried to protect you throughout your life but this time I couldn't and that makes me very sad. I will hold you close to my heart forever xx
