Hi to you amazing people, For those of you who know me, will know that Last February (2018) I found out my beloved mum had cancer of the pancreas, when I found out, on that night back in February my world was shattered. The snow was pouring down outside and my parents had to stay the night as the snow was so bad, and for that time I wanted to keep my mum at home with me forever, no one really slept that night, in the morning it was all very surreal knowing this was our life and we had to deal with it, I put my job on hold and became even more of a side kick to my mum than I already had been, getting to her house every morning and not leaving her side until she was tucked safely up in bed for the night, I think I got on my dad nerves it was like having two wives, there were good days bad days and some even worse days, but my strong brave mum smiled her way through, we made new memories talked about old memories we had made and generally loved one another, on June 8th 2018 I danced slowly with my tiny framed mum she told me she loved me and unbeknown to me that would be the last time I’d hear those words out of my mums mouth, on Sunday 10th of June 2018 at 5.AM my mum took her last breath, by her side we’re myself my brother Ben & my dad. There are no words of the pain I feel every day tor the heart ache and the constant smile I have to wear to make myself believe life is normal and she’s indoors. The struggle is real, So please please if you can spare just a couple of pounds I would really be so grateful. Please donate 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives.
