Well Son that is another year gone by it is now almost 11pm and I won't be sad to see the end of this day, sunday the 29th aug it was like being back in that awful day 17yrs ago watching the clock remembering what I was doing back then, watching the hands on the clock getting nearer to 5.10pm when that life changing knock came to my door, luckily Linda phoned just around 5pm so that was a welcome distraction, like me she is finding it more difficult as the years go by, people think it should be easier but the longer it is the more we miss you. Been to the cemetary and put flowers and cards on from me and Linda, it was looking really pretty, sounds crazy I know, how the hell can a headstone be pretty, but it was there was loads of flowers from people, had to cut the necks of the bottles of water I took round and dig them into the soil so I could put flowers in them as there was nowhere to put them all. Well Son I am off to bed cause I am shattered didn't get much sleep last night. love and miss you so much, Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
