Letters to my Mum

Merry Christmas Mum

Hi Mummy darling,

Wishing you a very merry Christmas πŸŽ„πŸŽ x

It has been a crazy advent with Mike in London and the elves being here of course. They have been up to all kinds of mischief!

They have been great fun but time for them to go back to Father Christmas 😬😊.

Centreparcs was lovely this year going at Christmas. You would love it Mum.

The atmosphere is so lovely and everybody seems to be feeling the same way. It really is a Winter Wonderland x

Just waiting for our girls to wake up and the craziness of Christmas day to begin.

My fourth one without you here and my first one without you or Grandma.

We nearly had Dad’s latest bit of fluff joining us for Christmas dinner but she didn’t make the cut so I don’t have to worry now 😊.

I miss you terribly Mum, you always made Christmas so magical I just hope I am doing the same for my girls.

I love you very much. Send my love to Grandma.

All my love

Happy birthday Grandma

Hi Mum,

We’re here on our annual trip to Center Parcs but we’ve come for Christmas rather than Halloween. It is beautiful, albeit rather cold.

I think Vics has had a lovely day but we didn’t sing to her (except for me singing in the sauna 🀣).

We had a lovely time at the spa the 4 of us, I took a cheeky selfie when we left…

Please could you wish Grandma a happy birthday for me. It has been so very strange not buying a Grandma card this year and realising that I will probably never buy one again.

Please send her my love, I still miss being able to go and see her, even when evenings were bad.

I hope you have had fun celebrating today.

All my love

All change please

Hi Mummy darling,

How are you?

It’s a week of change in our house this week.

Mike has started a new job in London πŸ‘. He’s so excited Mum and I’m so excited for him. This is what he has wanted for so long.

Here is his view…

We spent a lot of time working out what he wanted to wear but we got there in the end. He’s going with jeans, shirt and jumper.

We’re working out which train works best for him at the moment and then we need to work out what the world looks like for me.

I have done so much thinking about this Mum and I am away on a retreat at the moment trying to get a clear head.

I so wish you were here for me to talk to. With the 4 year anniversary of you going to sleep next year, I have adjusted many parts of my life so the huge gap of you not being here is covered. Not filled, just covered.

But there are times when I can’t cover the gap and I feel there is nobody around me to cover the gap.

I am absolutely loving having more time for and with my girls and Mike.

There have only been positive changes since I left Saga.

My relationship with Chloe has changed so much. She is very tactile now and we talk about everything x

Madison has moved up 4 levels and 3 tables in maths with the work we have been doing on her times tables. Yesterday she tells me the fantastic news that she has got her pen licence and that she has passed level 3 in swimming.

Abigail is so amazing that all that has changed is she is loving having her Mum around more. She asks me for private chats, bless her, but it’s for things like one of the other children told her that the elves don’t do the silly things it’s the parents 😬😊. I asked if she thinks her Mum would voluntarily mess up her house to which Abigail replied with ‘good point’!

Anyway, as a result of all of this I am looking into setting up a Bowen business. I would be able to set my times around the girls school time and their needs but I also know I will enjoy it.

Somebody on the course last night asked me what I am passionate about. The really sad part is that I have had to give it a lot of thought to see whether there is something I’m passionate about.

It came to me this morning whilst lying in the dark thinking, the human body. I love knowing how we work and what we do. The impact of our diets and exercise. This is another indicator that Bowen is the right thing to do.

I can see myself getting to a point where I go and do talks to people about our bodies etc.

I wish you were here to help me put it all together. Plus your 60 million contacts you had 😊.

I’m going to do this Mum, we can make this happen. I know you are with me in spirit alone but anything you can do to show me I am going in the right direction would be great.

I know, I know, I need to slow down to see it and I am going to try x

I love and miss you so very much Mum.

Sleep well

All my love
