Ode to mum

I can't remember the last mother's day that I spent with my mum. Although I'm always there in spirit, I have lived over 1000kms away from mum and dad for over seven years now which makes bringing mum breakfast in bed on mother's day pretty hard.

This mother's day - being over 11,000km away from my mum I thought I'd put some of my favourite photos of my mum together for all the world to see.

Mum, although you're far from me in kilometres, you're never far from my mind. You're the strongest and bravest person I know and always live life with such gusto. Thank you for showing me that, no matter what life throws at you ... at the end of the day, the sun will always be shining.

I miss you and love you very very much.
