On Friday we said our final goodbye to Mum 💔
Through the last 20 years she had 10 cancer diagnosis, she never complained, never looked for sympathy or loaded her troubles onto anyone. She was always smiling, positive and continued to live her life. Most people would not have known how poorly she had been at times. She has been inspiration and I will miss her enormously.
I will take a leaf out of Mum's book and live life with a smile, courage, strength, love and happiness ❤️
