Happy Birthday Mum!

Today is my dearest Mum’s Birthday and I thought I would dedicate my blog today to write about her and what she means to me!

You probably heard it all before, but in my case it truly is true, my Mum is the best Mum in the World! Well, she is to me. She has been more than a Mother at many times, a friend, a shoulder to cry and a confident to hear my mishaps or disappointments.

Throughout my life, our life, we have been through a lot and always came out the other side laughing. This year has been a really testing year for both of us and we are still here. Loads of things that others did, or happened to them, impacted on our life this year and you are already smiling aren’t you?

I was thinking before that when this year is over we are going to look back and really realise how much we did and how much we have grown this year! Well that is the subject to another post hey? Probably for my birthday next month.

In my teenage years you always believed in me and were there for me at all times. When I needed a hug, a kiss, or a kick on the backside, you were the one I turned too first. Even my friends loved you like a Mum and still do today.

When I had the surgery that saved my life, you were the one that stayed up all night next to my bed until I woke up... And then you were the one I bugged all night asking if it was day time already J. I still remember the days we spent talking about me going abroad to study or me asking your advice on my life.

In a way you were my first Coach, you always believed in me, believed in my capabilities and always told me to follow my dreams. When the opportunity came for me to come to England, you were the one that told me to believe in me, because you already did.

So I followed my dream, and throughout these years you never once stopped believing in me! I adore you more than I can express in words and I wish that you finally start living the life you want and deserve.

You were the one I confided on when I had problems in my marriage or relationships. You were the first to know about all the important things in my life and still are. I admire mothers out there in the world that look out for their kids and I have to say that most mothers are special and wonderful, and I have met a few that are truly fantastic, but need to take exception and single out my wonderful Mummy!!!!

I love our relationship. Love the fact that the values you gave me, in the great part, were fantastic and helped me succeed in life. The fact I can cook, clean, iron and all the other things that can do today is all down to you, and for that I thank you.

I thank you for all the sacrifices you have done for me throughout your life. I thank you for the continuous belief and support I have had from you all my life. I thank you for telling me to follow my dream and start my coaching business, knowing that it would be difficult at times.

I thank you for a lot more, that I can't or wont discuss here and now, but most of all I thank you for bring me into this world and for being my Mother and my friend!!

Anyway, for once I am running out of words to write J I love you to bits, I always will, enjoy your birthday today with your dearest and fantastic Husband and Friend Augusto and I will see you for Christmas. In the mean time here it is a ton of hugs, kisses and “xoxos”

Love you Mum, Happy Birthday.

Your Son,
