    My mum is special to me because she's the only one I've got! Maybe even more so since I almost lost her a little while back. I'm not ready for my mum to depart my life yet!

  2. All the women in my life are inspirations. Especial the women who help raise me. My grandmothers, aunty and of course my mother and women I've known in childhood who treat me like their own daughter.

    I'm also a fb liker

    My mum is very special to me because she so willingly sacrifices to help out her loved ones and those in need, even though she's suffered serious loss, grief and hurt in her life. I am just so amazed how she can help so many others in need even while dealing with her own pain - that is love!

  4. Love my mum dearly... not only is she my best friend, she also cares full time for my dad, who has alzheimers/dementia. She very very rarely takes any time out to treat herself. I am not in a position to be able to buy her anything for Mothers Day so would love the opportunity to give her some of your beautiful work, which I know she would love dearly.

    My mum passed when I was a teenager. She showed me to be strong and guided me to the woman and mother I am today. I have patience and love and in adversity can rise on top, thanks mum x

  12. Liker and follower!

    My mother is so important to me because not only did she love us and care for us, but she pursued her own interests outside of us thus teaching me that it's good to have a balance between mothering and being yourself!

    So 'like" you

    Mums are just the best - well mine is. She is unconditionally there for me always. She is a friend, A guide, A teacher, Amazing and I could not imagine life without her. Everyday we either catch up or chat on the phone . I don't think there is anything she would not do for me. As a child , she nurtured my creative side and patiently showed me how to do things, like knit (which is a challenge to teach a 10yr old, I know, I have tried).
    I heart my mum

  15. My Mum, my friend, my teacher, my go to person, my "I have something exciting to tell" person. Now she is gone, and I realise more than ever how much she shaped my life, and the person I am today. I realise how much I miss her. How many times I have picked up the phone to call her, to remember she isn't there. She showed ME how to be a Mum, she showed ME what was good, and not so good, and inspired me to be the best Mum I can be. She showed me how love is truly unconditional and nothing is more important than your children and giving them that love, time and understanding (and the odd telling off!). I credit her with enabling and empowering me to feel I can be a great Mum too, and I hope she looks down from wherever she is and is proud of us all. I love you and miss you Mum, Happy Mother's Day. xxx

    Likey lots on Facebook
