Three wonderful mums have set off towards the light over the last 3 years.
My Partners Mum. A wonderful Quaker who always looked for the potential good in everybody.
My Mum. Gave her whole life for her family. The most resilient person I will ever meet. All she wanted in return was to watch a good movie with a cup of tea and a cream bun.
My Partner. The perfect parent to our son. She was just the most beautiful person.
While trying to sort out our son’s school iPad I came across this few words which made me cry. Not sure what the school lesson was about but the message he conveyed was abundantly clear.
I miss you so much you are the best mum you can have. You gave me life and I owe you everything because you gave everything to me and all your love. You are the best. I miss you so much but I would do it all again. I miss you so much Mum but I know that you will be with me forever.
Thank you to all the mums out there. Thank you for being brilliant everyday of the year. Sending you hugs.
A Dad trying to cope with the loss of his Partner and becoming a single parent. 
Hugs coming to you. You are so brave.
