A few months ago, after a long battle with illness, I lost my beloved mother in law, some mother in laws are dreadful but mine wasn't, we didn't always agree when it came to the way we parent but I always took your advice and always came to you first.
Col, this is for you.
Thank you for showing me what the meaning of family was. For welcoming me into your home, your life, your family, your heart. You put everyone before your own needs, and treated everyone with love, respect and always made everyone feel welcome. I am completely blown away by the love you have shown me, and our family, the nights you sat with me at the hospital when Evie wasn't well, for the hours you sat by her crib when she was in nicu, for knitting her a tiny beanie when nothing else fit so she had something of her own while we were waiting to bring her home. Thank you for being the best grand mother to my beautiful daughter, niece and nephews. Thank you for teaching me how to make your amazing rum balls, for always believing in me and awlays reminding me that I'm doing a good job with raising Evie. We miss you so much, and love you more. If any of us can be half the person you are, well, that would have been to have succeeded.
you. you alone will have the stars as no one else has them x
