Dear Mum,

Today was Mothers Day. It was a beautiful day. The weather was warm, there were many smiles and it was a great day celebrate the beautiful gift of Mothers. Happy Mothers Day.

For me, Mothers day brings many, many memories, some good and some not so good. For those who don't know, In 2004, my beautiful Mum, Rhonda died exactly a week after Mothers day. So, today was emotional for me, and you know what, that's ok. At Moonee Ponds it was my turn to do a part in the meeting called "My Part" and so I did this and spoke about the specialness of Mothers and the great gift from God that they were. I got through, there were many tears, but I think people could understand what I was saying. To finish off this particular segment, I sung a song that I wrote, called 'Dear Mum'. It's mainly about my Mum, but it was my prayer that people would be able to take something special from it. Mum has been gone three years this coming Wednesday (the 16th). I miss her dearly, but I'll blog about that on Wednesday. Here's the song I wrote, I hope you are blessed by it and you can relate parts of it to your relationship with your Mum, or someone who has been a Motherly figure to you. God Bless!!!

Dear Mum,

Verse 1:
Thanks for all you’ve done for me,
And for the love you shared.
You taught us by example,
You showed how much you cared.

Chorus:
Now you’re in heaven,
You’re watching me from above.
I miss the smell of your perfume,
And the warmness of your hugs.
I look up to the stars at night,
And see your beautiful eyes,
Thanks for being in our lives.
Dear Mum

Verse 2:
One thing will always be true
You’ll always be my Mum, and I’ll always love you
The kisses and the hugs, the tenderness and love
That helped to see me through
I knew I could count on you
