she was amazing, warm, kind, beautiful, clever, a great cook, endlessly supportive and had a spark that drew everyone in
the only real downside is the "was". which is a pretty big downside, esp as i was only 28.

anyone who still has their mum and doesn't tell her often enough all the things that i can't ever say again deserves a shoeing.

My mum is getting old now, albeit she is still fit.
Every time she's ill with something or other I start to fret I'll lose her soon.

I don't like this feeling.

Yeah, because I don't see my Mum more than once or twice a year
I'm constantly shocked by how old she looks. I keep thinking, shouldn't you be about 40 or something?

it's awful
i'm v v close to my dad, and he is in great shape for his age - but he's 68 and it's inevitable he's going to slow down over the next 5 years or so. every time i see him have to pick his leg up to hoist himself into my silly lowslung sports car or limping after golf (admittedly after playing 18 holes a day, without a buggy, 15 days on the trot), i get so panicky and breathless :(

I agree with you.
Your Mum = Phwoar!

I'll let her know you admire her : )

Clearly beauty runs in the family
Let's just hope she's as naughty as you! ;-)

Not everyone is as lucky as you.
I don't see mine for months on end and that's fine.
