She was only 55

My mom passed on Friday. Only 55 years old. So bright, so vivacious, she was full of life. She was smart, unintentionally hilarious, determined and talented. It just doesn’t feel right. Everything in her house is like she’s just popped out to the shops, not like she’s never coming back. Her parcels keep arriving and letters. I just can’t cope with the fact that we’ll never talk again. Or celebrate our birthdays together. We used to always hold hands into the New Year and watch the sunrise. She’s my best friend. My heart is shattered. I’m so scared and I want my mother.
