im physically prepared but am I mentally prepared?!

House bleached from top to bottom, kids fed, bathed and hair washed, noah in bed, ellis in his swing and freya and meg were being unusually quiet in freyas bedroom (scary because theyre normally arguing over hair straighteners), just started cooking tomorrows tea when they came down and gave me a piece of paper which read
Mum its hard to find the words to say
How much you mean to us
But if it wasnt for your love and care
We dont know where we’d be
How do you do it all mum
Be a chauffeur cook and friend
Yet find time to be a playmate
We just cant comprehend
“Mother” is such a simple word
But to us theres meaning seldom heard
For everything we are today
Our mothers love showed us the way
Nobodys equal to you mum
With you in our lives we are blessed
We love you so and want you to know
We think youre the very best
Words cannot say how we love you mum
And just how much we owe
Please know that we’ll always be there for you too
In the high times and the low
love from freya, meg, noah and ellis xxx

Having my girls do that for me has made it a little easier to leave them tomorrow for my surgery x

Lovely words from your girls.  It is when your children do things like this that you know just what a fabulous job you have done bringing them up.  They will, of course, miss you but sounds like they’ll be just fine.

 

Wishing you all the best for your surgery tomorrow. I suspect that we are never really mentally prepared but gotta go all the same and let them take care of you…Sounds like you are quite  a tough cookie, i think you have a young baby, sounds like that is Noah.

 

Take Care Gilly x 

 

  

What lovely words, you’ve definitely done a great job with your children. You should feel very proud of yourself. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow, you’ve managed so well over the last couple of weeks.

Take care

Thank you both, I thought becoming a mum at 16 was going be the hardest thing id face but it doesnt compare to this, noah is my 5 year old, ellis is my 4 day old x

Awwww what lovely words from your girls. Good luck tomorrow. Keep strong. Hugs

Oh my goodness…what lovely words, made me cry! 

Thinking about you today, hope all goes ok, please let us know… when you can.

What a lovely thing to do! I have only boys so they would never think of something like that! And you have a baby too?! Good luck ,you will be fine x

In bits too. 

 

Hope your surgery went well.

What lovely words and so caring, a credit to you xx 

When im feeling down my girls know how to put a smile on my face (dont know where id be without the poems they write for me and their dad)

Sometimes we know the words to say to thank you for all youve done
But then they fly up and away as quickly as they come
How could we possibly thank you enough, the one who makes us whole, the one to who we owe our lives, the forming of our souls
The one who makes such sacrifices to always put us first, who lets us test our broken wings, inspite of how it hurts
Who paints the world a rainbow when its filled with broken dreams, who explains it all so clearly when nothing is what it seems
Are there really any words for this, we find this question tough, anything we want to say just doesnt seem enough
What way is there to thank you for your heart, your sweat, your tears, for ten thousand things youve done for oh so many years
For changing with us as we have changed, accepting all our flaws, not loving cause you have to but loving just because
For never giving up on us when you were at your wits end, for always being proud of us, for being our best friend
And so we come to realise the only way to say, the only thank you thats enough is clear in just one way
Thank you for the gifts you give, for everything you do, but thank you mum most of all for making all our dreams come true
We love you mum, youre our dude
