I don't cry that often Sam, I should cry more, but I don't. I'm not sure why, maybe it's a man thing, trying to be strong for my wife and sons, I don't know, but I cried reading this and listening to Donna's beautiful song and the others, how very special.

The way that you talk about your Mum rings through with me, every word, every feeling and I am lucky enough that my Mum and Dad are both alive. I see them a lot, but I am going to make an extra effort now to see them more, as your beautiful tribute reminds me that they will not be here forever and they are not getting any younger.

May you Mum rest in peace and I have no doubt that she is always near guiding you and minding you and your loved ones. Mind yourself.
