Hi Helen two years since you left us miss every day, will never forget you love to you and your family.

What a terribly sad year, week, today (7:47am) marks the anniversary of when we sadly said goodbye to our wonderful mum, 365 days without you and it can't be, but it is.

Time passes so quickly, a blink of an eye, and many tears and a lifelong yearning for her to be with me, memories are precious, please make moments special for those in your life. My mum loved everything about her life, her family, her friends, her work, her TV, she loved gifts, especially flowers, perfume and bright lipsticks, she was spoiled and it was our greatest pleasure to see her happy - her little face on Christmas morning was something to behold, she loved her shopping - so many jackets, her holidays, or just sitting in the garden with the sun shining on her sweet face surrounded by her family, she loved to laugh and giggle, chatting to new people was her superpower, she loved everyone because she genuinely loved others, she was a dream to be with, she was my everything, my partner in life. She loved adventures, and if only we could do more, but wherever I go she is with me.. my constant warmth and light, my inspiration. She loved and everyone who new her could feel that, she had such a special way, a twinkle and a kiss.

In life, I feel you get back what you put in, she made my world a better place. She will always be at the heart of me. So rest peacefully Mum, and I know she will be surprised with sadness to see our special friend Sean, taken too soon, she will watch over him for me, he needs you now. Life will never be the same, but you are with me always.

Today is one whole year without my gorgeous mum… her heavenly anniversary. I’ve dreaded this day since the moment she left us… Life is so hard without her in it and I have missed her more than I ever thought possible.

Looking back, lockdown was such a blessing for us as we spent almost every day with mum and made so many special memories. I'll be forever grateful for that year and that we were there to be with mum until the very end, and say our final goodbyes.

Watching time pass without our lovely mum is one of the hardest parts of grief. It feels wrong that time moves on without someone you love. We still talk about her every single day; she really was ‘simply the best’.

What an awful year it has been since she left us - both personally and professionally. I won’t lie, it has been tough, but I know she would be really proud of me. I couldn’t have done any of it without my amazing sisters by my side - they have been with me every day and I don’t know where I would be without them.

Rest in peace our gorgeous Mama Bear. Until we meet again… We will raise a glass of Baileys to you tonight! ⭐️🥂🤍😇

I can’t believe it’s been a year with out Helen, miss you every day and the meals we had together with Larainne, we went to the emperors for a Chinese’s on Monday we spoke about you a lot and how much we miss your lovely smile, love to you and the girls xx
