17th March 2012 would have been Maw's 55th birthday. Some bugger decided to make Mother's Day on the 18th March making it the worst weekend I have had to get through in a while. It has almost been 2 years since Maw passed but I still feel like it was only yesterday I last spoke to her. I still pick up the phone to dial her number or automatically pick up something in a shop intending to buy it for her. Last week I went into a card shop and was almost at the counter before I realised Maw didn't need a Mother's Day card this year. I think I have come to the stage of acceptance but I've certainly not come to the end of my grieving. I bring Maw into every conversation I can. I miss her so much that I feel like I'm keeping her alive if I just keep talking about her. I've noticed that it can sometimes make people feel a little uncomfortable which brings me to the reason I have made this memorial site. This is a place where I can openly talk about how amazing my Mum was and share memories I have of her. I'm hoping it can be a place of comfort for others who miss her and they can share memories with myself and others that we have either forgotten or have never heard. So please don't feel shy or scared to post anything. It really means a lot to me that you are thinking about her too. Thank you for coming to the site and I hope it has helped you in the way it has helped me. Fiona xxx
