remember exactly what my mum's voice sounds like (read all 3 entries…)

Today Is Her Birthday  — 1 year ago

She would have been 54.

I know I’m unlikely to ever complete this goal, but that’s OK. I can get an approximation, though and obviously I would be happy if I was able to hear it exactly.

Of course I miss her – she was always there, whether I was being an idiot or whether I was doing something great (on at least one occasion, it was both at the same time), and although she never said anything directly, I know she was proud of me. She was also the first person to call me on starting so many projects and never finishing any of them, which led directly to me actually making Teardrop Explodes. I could certainly do with a kick like that every now and then these days! Actually, probably more frequently than that. :-)

Happy Birthday, Mum.

ello thinks the roller-coaster is getting a bit much.

I'm sorry she's not around

to see what amazing things you’ve done.

This is such a wonderful...

memorial to her! I can’t imagine life without my mother, so this makes me take a step back and count my blessings. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

If you can recall what her laugh was like, that might help you remember her voice. Or something specific at a certain time and place that she said.

I love

that you have the strength to express these feelings. In doing so, you make me feel less alone in my own grief.

Thanks

for sharing your wonderful reflections. You have helped others appreciate their moms all the more! You are a blessing!

Being a mother, the only thing I can tell you is that she will always be by your side. I send you a mother hug from Colombia and thousands of blessings.
