i read the following poem out between tears ) at my mums funeral a few years ago ..... probably one of the hardest things ive ever done in my life , im sure those who have lost parents will identify with it , im sorry if it upsets people , but this is my tribute to all mums on mothers day .
If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
