Dear Mumsiewoo

Today I have something important to do to make my Mum feel better. 
Dear Mumsiewoo, I start to write, and so begins my letter...
 
I don’t always know the right way to say exactly how I feel.
But you always know just what to say to love and mend and heal.
 
I know I act like I don’t care and often push you away.
But deep down inside I’m battling my pride. I really want you to stay.
 
I act all tough and know-it-all, but all I want to do,
is cuddle up safe in those arms of yours. Don’t you want that too?
 
I always forget you’ve been where I am, that you were once my age. 
Sometimes there’s so much going on, it just feels like a daze! 
 
I always hoped I’d be given the chance to be a mummy too.
Now that I am, I can only dream of being half as good as you!
 
Although we’re separated by many miles, you are always in my heart.
I love you so much it really hurts to be so far apart.
 
I couldn’t have wished for a better Mum...a friend to confide in too.
I love you Mum, forever and ever. I love you Mumsiewoo.
