Sample entry
To my Mummy,
When things aren’t going right. When they are. When I need a friend. When I need a hug. It’s always you I turn to.
You’re the role model I aspire to be – always kind, always helping. I honestly don’t know how you do it and still find the energy to smile. You’re our bedrock; the keystone of the family – you keep us together.
When you got sick and the thought of a world without you became all too real; I wondered how we’d cope – as it really is you we turn to for guidance, for help, for love. Actually, I’ve still not found an answer to this question.
I can only hope I’ve made you proud in my own way, that I’m half the person you envisioned me to become. It’s literally impossible to repay you for the life you’ve granted me and the sacrifices you’ve made to raise us – but I will keep trying to.
Andy son of Aileen
