The Kindest Words Mum Ever Said To Me…
Some of you may know that my first experience of Motherhood didn’t go as planned. Our son Oscar was born with a really rare chromosome problem (so rare there are only 2 other people in the world who are also diagnosed), There’s a much bigger and longer story I’ll share with you one day, but I still find it very hard to talk about .
I cannot tell you how that one line changed my life, I felt like a tonne of worry and weight lifted from my lone shoulders, I felt that I wasn’t alone keeping my baby well, I wasn’t alone and scared, everyone else was scared too, but I could ask for help and they would be there at the drop of a hat. And they were!
My parents, my brother and my sister were there 24/7 for me…Oscar was as happy as Larry! He was such a little angel, smiling and giggling all the time, so content, I couldn’t have asked for a more placid and happy baby.

Thanks for sharing your story Donna, mums are amazing aren’t they. I’ll bet you are an amazing, fun mum to your boys. and your boys look like lobely, happy boys.
I lost my mum 25 years ago when she was just 63. I think about her every day and would do anything to spend just one more day with her.
Enjoy Mother’s Day

AnnieHI Annie, my heartfelt sympathy to you. It’s 38 years since I lost my mum (she was 53). That’s more than half my life. I remember thinking that I couldn’t cope living for 50 years or more without her. I wish I could tell you that it gets easier but it certainly doesn’t. I’ve got tears in my eyes longing to just hear her voice again (we have no recordings only soundless cine film). Perhaps like Donna’s Mum, she would to me, we WILL get through this. Huge hugs to you and anyone else in our sad group.on Mothers Day xxx

I lost my mum aged 63 , 16 years ago she was a kind funny loving caring mum to us 4 & the best gran to her 3 wee grandsons.. she like you had a son her last our youngest brother & he was a lot slower reaching all the baby milestones & at 9 months old got told to put him away😳 he won’t talk walk or live independently 💔.. she walked out & said I will prove you B******* wrong 😡& she did , although he did walk ,never shuts up 🤣🥴 he does have learning disabilities but he was her boy our brother & he is the man he is because she cared for him & proved the medics so so wrong 🙏🏽… we have so many lovely memories of her ,she was my rock when I gave her , her 1st Grandson they had that very special bond 💙she was with me everyday for 6/7 weeks to help & give me advice but never told me what to do , she was an angel & carer to everyone 😇❤️ I miss her everyday & wish I could sit with a wee cuppa & here her voice again ❤️
Enjoy your mother’s day with your two handsome boys 💙& your own mum 💖the sun is shining for all us mums 💐

Bless our Mums every where in the world. Without them our lives wouldn’t exist. We wouldn’t have the gift of life. The families we have, we can’t choose but the paths we lead we can. God Bless you all. Xx

Happy Mother’s Day to all you ladies i here, I get your story as a mum of two boys ( 15&16) just turned my eldest Jack has severe learning difficulties and autism yet looks “normal” whatever that it, perfect pregnancy, healthy at birth then 8 months in it became apparent that he wasn’t the healthy neurologically sound son I thought I had, I too had a bit of a meltdown I hated the world and I grieved for the boy I didn’t have. But he abs bus brother are my world… unfortunately their dad died of cancer last year so they only have me now but I like all of you try to be the best mum I can. Big hugs to all you fabulous mums 💜🌷 xx

Cherish your mum for as long as you have her. I’m only 3 weeks without mine, today, and I think it finally hit me when I took flowers up to the cemetery. This was personal to me and I finally broke my heart and the thought I’d never see her again. Give your mum the biggest hug and enjoy every single minute with her xxx 💞💞

Oh Donna, iv just read your beautiful words, I’m not as articulate as you but here we go. This is myself and my son George, George is 21 now and this photo a few years old but he was also born with a rare condition, and after 10 years of trying for a baby and eventually fertility treatment, my pride and joy was born, my perfect baby well so I thought. I couldn’t imagine the pain, worry and to me torture I was going to injure. I’m going to shorten it hugely but George ended up having a very large hole in his heart and at 3 months he had open heart surgery, then after not talking we had bloods done to find out he had a very rare chroma zone abnormality, I’m not going to go through every thing, but like you I went through a grieving process, how can my beautiful baby have to go through heart surgery, and now a condition that caused the heart and the speach, and all the other little things that are not perfect. I thank God every day for blessing me with my Son, and thank the lord as he could have been a lot worse than he is. He is my pride and joy. Enjoy your Son every day Donna xxx sorry couldn’t add our photo 😔 iv added it on the FB page
