“Wishing I had heard you say ‘I love you mummy’ wishing above all wishes that you were here, where you belong. Too many wishes to write down.
“Today you should be opening gifts, laughing at silly cards people have sent, blowing out candles on the birthday cake you will eat far too much of!! Sulking at me when I tell you it’s time to stop playing that new computer game and get to bed.”
She continued: “Arguing with your little sister because you’ve told her a million times she can’t play with your new gifts!! Telling me I can’t have a kiss anymore cos you’re now far too cool for that! I would give anything to kiss your little cheek one more time!”
“Well, you may not be with us in body but we know you are ALWAYS with us, you’re everywhere around us, you’re always in our hearts.
