Mum, it’s been a long year, I am missing our phone calls and video chats I haven’t been back home cause you will not be there for cuddles. It will not be the same to arrive in Invercargill without you to visit. I think about you so often and feel the empty space you have left. the memories I have will never fade. I am however happy that You are no longer suffering. Loving you for ever. No. 1 daughter Leanne.
