My darling Curtis,
My heart is broken and will remain so until I hold you in my arms again.
Our last moments together swim around in my mind day and night.
The loving hug you gave me as you left and said to me ‘I love you mum’.
Little did we know it was our final farewell.
I love you so much Curtis and can’t bear to think that you’re gone.
Instead - I imagine you’re hanging out with your friends fixing cars, chatting with Savana - working out how to fix something.
Driving down summer country lanes, music blaring, shades on, elbow on your car door frame.
Messaging Sean for advice on life, love and finances.
Playing with a Seraphina - making her erupt into fits of giggles.
This way my heart can take another beat, I can take another breath and I can face another day.
A Mothers greatest masterpiece are her children and there is no love as pure, unconditional and strong as a Mothers Love.
I love you my darling. xxxxxx
