my mum had a smile that could make all the hurt better she had a kiss that wiped away tears she had arms that enfolded me and a love that drove away fears

I adore my mum, i dont think i could ever be without her. She had to go away for a year a while back, and it was the worst thing i have ever been through was having to live without her there. She is my best mate and too be honest, with things that have gone on in the past, i dont think i would be here today if it wasnt for her. I can talk to her about anything and she understands. She knows me more than anyone, she knows when i feel down and she knows just what to do to lift me back up again. I know that no matter what happens she will always be there for me. Steph xxx

I try to show my mum as often as possible how much she means to me, I often buy her things if I spot something I know she will like, and as she is not good with admin stuff I write letters on her behalf and make official phone calls for her. We talk on the phone everyday and I see her 3 times a week. I know one day the inevitable will happen, but I am welling up just thinking about the awful time when she is not here anymore, I honestly don,t know how I will cope!

My Mum is the best Mum in the world. She is my best friend. I miss her so much, and wish she were still here. Joy

I say to everyone look after your mum while you have her because when you can no longer see them,give them loves and hugs,buy them things it is very painfull and upsetting, my mum was the world to me and i miss her dreadfully Margaret

I love my Mum to bits and can see a lot of myself in her, but sometimes she drives me mad! Am dreading the time when she is no longer there though. Maggy

Helen Bell...My daughters a nurse and see's many old folk die. She has lost count of the number of people that die just after thier relatives have left! They reckon that your loved one waits cos they dont want to dissress you. THEY LOVE YOU. All the other nurses have seen the same. My own Mum died 10 mins after I left, after sitting with her all day.
