Sunday 6th March - Mothering Sunday
This morning when I got up I felt really sad because even though I've been a mother, I don't have anyone to mother anymore and that's really hard to come to terms with. But, whilst walking Jess, (Becci's dog) I had a really good talk to myself and decided I have a lot to be thankful for.
I have the knowledge that I brought the most lovely person into this world and had the pleasure of knowing and enjoying her for 27 years 7 months 2days. Rebecca was a really easy girl to love, so caring, generous and loving. She was brave, tough, funny, to me inspiring and also very annoying and I feel extremely privileged to have had her in my life. It wasn't a long time and I still struggle without her, but I will be forever grateful to have had the experience of being her mother.
I've included a few photos which show her love of life and
zest for enjoyment :)
On the fund raising front there's not too much happening at the moment.
I'm busy training for the triathlon on 12th June, have got back into running and funnily enough I'm enjoying it. I've been swimming quite a few times but have yet to get my bike out. I've got another 3 months for training but it's surprising how time flies by and before I know it, it'll be 12th June. It's alright doing the swimming, cycling and swimming but I'm going to have to put them all together before long and see just how hard it's going to be.
There's a small team of us doing this in Becci's memory her friends and mine and I'm really touched that they've wanted to shell out so much money and time to do this. It's nice for me to see because it makes me realise that she was well thought about :)
I'll be sharing Team Becci's just giving page on FB and twitter shortly.,
Team Becci :- Me, Rachel Edwards, Maggie Jewitt, Clare Merrick, Emma McMichael and Paula Craven
The cricket match is still up in the air as Emmerdale can't come on 29th May so we're waiting for more dates so watch this space.......
As always thank you for taking the time to read.
Tara for now
