Brenda Moore (Elaine Hermiz)

She says you need this more than ever, but she’s fine. I can feel your loss and it sits very deep in my heart. I wish I could give you a great big hug. You’re going to be okay. I’m okay. I’m still as strong and stubborn as I was. You are a wonderful daughter and I don’t think you really knew how much that meant to me so I’m telling you now and it will stay on here forever. Please look after yourself and Dad and I’ll do what we can from the sidelines, I promise.

And please trust yourself when you think you’ve heard from me or you wonder if the obvious sign was a sign the answer is yes yes yes. The laengths I go to to say hello, it’s funny.

I love your perfume. I always did and I always knew you were there even when I couldn’t see you. Please if it’s not too late make every Christmas count including this one for me. I’m going to be watching and rolling my eyes so make sure you have plenty of fun and laughter (she’s referencing crackers-bonbons as if it’s an inside joke or something. I think you better get them sorted, lots of laughs).

Merry Christmas. I love you and I miss you.

Mum XX.
