I look in the mirror and don’t recognise myself anymore.I burst into tears trying to prepare myself for the day, takes me ages nowadays, before I put on a facade. It was us forever you said, you made feel on top of the world. Our last conversation keeps running through my head, your last words were “I love you Monica” and that was the end. I watched my world crumble when seeing you take your last breath,4th April 2020 Me and Danny witnessed your death. Thought you was invincible, how naive,my super hero for life that’s all I need. This isn’t a poem, or words from the internet, this is from the heart mum,if only you knew all my regret. I’ll Love you forever mum...my baby girl,my munchkin...Played your role as a mother far too well, you ended playing the role of a best friend and father too, don’t know how you did it,even after everything you went through. I’ll salute you always, my hero for life. Promise me you’ll be there on my wedding day besides me like we spoke about. That was supposed to be our happy day,now it’s a day I dread to think about. Bless Danny and Rowena to get through this,I hope one day I can build the courage and apologise to them. I don’t want them to have any regrets, I want them to know this is how the story was supposed to end. Give them love from above. I know you’re always with them,they were your world... I promise to try and live your legacy. Forever yours, Daughter Monica Xxxxx
