I still can’t believe you’re gone. I don’t really have the words to describe the size of the hole you’ve left behind. Our whole lives we have been inseparable. Even when I was at university, I called you every single day to chat about anything and everything - from what the weather had been like to the boy I had feelings for. I then came back and lived never more than 5 mins away from you in a town I didn’t even want to live in. But I wanted to be close to you, I missed you if I wasn’t near. We really were best friends. I have spent every day of my life speaking to you or being with you, I am not quite sure how to navigate this next chapter without you physically here. But I will carry you with me because the truth is your voice will always be in my heart telling me what step to take. When I think about it, I shouldn’t be surprised you were taken so early - you were far too good for this world. So full of kindness and generosity and your spirit and love were the infectious kind. You were so accepting of everyone and everything, “as long as you’re happy and not hurting anyone, live your life however you want”. You always, always put us first - so much so you forgot to look after yourself, you were a mother first and then everything else. All my friends call you amma, even my kids call you amma - because that’s what you are to them, not a grandma but a mother to them too. They will know who you are, I will continue to speak about you and the sheer joy you spread to all and they know you are now the angel you always were deep down. Amia and Leo adore you and you got to witness their first steps, their first words alongside me. Such a colossal part of our lives has been lost but that heart will shine on through the brightness in our smiles and my children’s smiles and my grandchildren too. We will pass down your legacy of love and it will do more for the world than you will know. My inspiration, my role model, my best friend, my amma. 💔
