Thanks to everyone for you kind words. They really mean a lot to me.  :) Its been a tough week but I'm slowly climbing the hill. Whilst my Mum was a dyed in the wool "Southerner", I'm certain She got the boys over the line on the Weekend because She really disliked the Bombers with a passion!! Now all I have to do is go through the dreaded Will process where I know some family members are going to cause problems. I wish I could walk away from it all but unfortunately I am the executor but once thats all done and dusted I will then begin to try and get my life back to some normality.

As Ox and WP who have recently lost a parent would know,  its those little quiet moments when sadness creeps in, so I am trying to keep myself busy, like posting here to take the edge off the sadness of her not being around anymore. I think its about learning to cope, not trying to forget. 

Thanks again everyone!  :thumbsup :thumbsup

My Mum who passed away last week at the age of 82 was my hero. Had to bring up six kids on her own when my Dad passed away when I was 4 in 1970. Wasn't going to go public with my loss but this thread was the perfect tribute to her. RIP Mum. Praying for you :pray


Praying for you as well Tiga  sorry to hear of your loss  remember the good times

Unlike most my parents are not anywhere close to being a hero,(both have gone now). But as a kid it was Jimmy Jess and Bill Barrot.
Today it is my son as he's one of the most level headed people I know. And a bloke from the biker build off Billy Lane, he never loses his temper. I would love to be like him, but I'm not.
