This is a bit of a weird post so I apologise in advance.
It came about because tomorrow would be my Dad’s 72nd birthday and whilst that means it is understandable my mind is focused on him, it made me wonder whether I am giving my Mum enough attention.
I love my Mum, she is wonderful in every way possible.
I’ve written about her love, support and energy for life many, many times … but as I was about to pen something about my Dad, it dawned on me that maybe since he passed away, I’ve not given her enough attention.
I’d like to think I have … I talk to her all the time and tell her how much I love her … but the reality is that as much as the screaming child gets the attention, the missing parent sometimes gets too much of the focus.
I am a byproduct of 2 people. Two wonderful, loving, kind, supportive, long-suffering people.
I could not of asked or wished for better parents or a better upbringing … and whilst we both miss my Dad as much today as we did on that fateful January morning 11 years ago, I am incredibly fortunate to have my brilliant Mum to turn to and talk to and I never want her to feel otherwise.
Love you Mum.
