I recently had my first birthday without you, it made me remember one birthday when you, Ella and Alice turned all the lights off, lit the candles on the caterpillar birthday cake, and sang happy birthday as you walked over to me, only for it to slide off the plate that you were all carrying straight into my lap candles still lit! No one got hurt and we all laughed hysterically for ages. 

It also made me remember the wonderful day we spent together in Cambridge last year for my birthday, it was so lovely spending time together, just me and you, where we use to when I was younger.

You always made such an effort and made sure the girls celebrated with me and involved them in it all.

Thank you for making every birthday so special, love you mum. xxxxx
