Today we would have celebrated your 87th birthday. But today is the 8th year we are marking this day without you. Each year my wishes for you are the same. Love and happiness. 

One of my fondest memories is of spending time baking and cooking with you. You taught me so many things. One of my favourites to make and eat is still molasses drop cookies. They always go down a treat.

So to honour your memory and to celebrate your birthday, I chose to spend some time with my godson Ashley making you a birthday cake. I now understand and share the joy you must have had while doing the same thing with me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM !!!

We love you to the stars and back.
