Farewell…

4 April, 2018 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

My Dearest Mum,
In the midst of my sadness and overwhelming loss, I couldn’t express what I wanted to say on the day of your farewell, but now I can…

I believe that all of us in this journey of life have a story, and I am so blessed to have been able to be a part of yours. I am just so sad that this was the last chapter that I got to be a part of, and there was still so many pages to write!

Our story has been full of ups and downs, laughter, tears, strengths and weaknesses but the theme throughout has always been love.

So I am extremely grateful to you for having had the gift of sharing your unconditional love, you taught us through examples of your life, that strength, honesty, love and laughter get us through pretty much whatever life throws at us as we turn the pages.

I know you are peaceful and free nowof these worldly experiences and your new story has just begun so through my tears I smile for you.

Rest peacefully Mum, I will miss you every day and know that it has been my honour and privilege to have shared your story.

I love you
Michelle
