Can't believe i'm writing this ...here in your obituary...

my memory is of a life filled with love, caring, teaching, fun, laughter, 

you have always been there for me, in good times, and all the tough times...

i remember way way way back to sitting on your bed...with you piercing my ears..and you giving me a penny to go spend because i didnt cry..( i was like 4 years old) and on the way out of the house to go to the shops...i stubbed my toe and screamed blue murder...

i remember you having to take us kids to the potato fields putting us in an area sectioned off with bales of hay ..while you worked so hard for us

i remember you always working so hard from a young age to your last job....early hours in the newsagents, to you working in the craft store...

i remember you being there for me when i told you i was pregnant...boy was i scared to tell you..but you was there taking me to the drs...and shopping and making sure i ate properly...crocheting so many things for that baby...you were there when he was born right beside me ... 

i remember you saying why dont you come to bingo with me on monday night at brentwood...oh how you didnt know you had created a monster.lol...loved going to bingo with you sharing our winnings ...which was not as often as we liked...

I remember us calling you saying would you like to go on vacation with us...you saying where and when..me.....tomorrow to NB...you had dad go to the bank and you were there in a few hours...we left that night you stuck in the back seat with two bratty kids...all the way not complaining ....we had so much fun visiting lauries mom you meeting her and james and us going to PEI over on the boat....that was so cool...

All the times we got to spend a week together just hanging out ...both me and Laurie treasure those times ...

i remember us shopping for paint and us scrubbing the house we are in ...in the freezing cold...painting the walls you sitting on the floor shuffling along doing the baseboards cos i wouldnt let you stand on the step stool to reach up higher knowing my butt would be in trouble if you fell...but then you couldnt get back up off the floor and we were in fits of laughter...

i remember you never complaining about the food i cooked even when it wasnt that good ...

i remember way more than these ...there are so many memories we shared..because you were always there for me...I have 54 years of memories..I just wish i had more ...

I miss you like crazy already I know you are in a better place with Lily and Grandad and all the other family ...no more pain...no more restless legs..you can relax pain free..walk with no walker or cane...

Love you always and forever Mom..
