McDONAGH Collette Precious memories of my mummy whose 8th Anniversary occurs 16th September. They tell me life’s a journey that will take me many years, some days are filled with laughter, and some days are filled with tears. Some days I think my heart will break that I can’t preserve sometimes, I have to don a mask and hide beneath its veneer. Some days I turn and look for you with thoughts I’d like to share, some days I just cant understand the reason you are not there, Some days the sadness leaves me and my smile will reappear, somedays I close my eyes because your memory is so clear. Some days I struggle to go on just wishing you were near, most days I spend in gratitude that you were ever here. I wish so much that you were here for the year ahead. Your heart- broken daughter Laura, Seany and grand-daughter Maili.
