Although from the age of eleven I lived with my dad, (long story which I won't go into) my mum has always been there for me, and I can tell her anything. She really is my best friend. I always have her full support.
I certainly have some of her nuttiness and she's raised me to be strong and independent. You're generous, kind and thoughtful.
They say you can't choose your family, but I would choose you everytime to be my mum.
So, Happy Birthday, Mum!
I'm sorry I can't be with you on your special day to celebrate 76 years of being on this planet. I'll make it up to you the next time we get to catch up. (June.)Thank you for also being a wonderful Nanny to Ben and Kieran.
Love Treesie x
(Your first born, who made you a mum, and your favourite ha ha! - inside joke with the siblings!)
