Today it is one year since my step mum Melissa passed away. She had been fighting breast cancer for several years. I cant bear that shes gone. She was such a force of life and joy. She had a gentle, kind and loving way that immediately put you at ease. Her home was full of colour and creativity and she was always ready for a chat or a walk. To me the most upsetting thing is that she cant be with Romi anymore. Melissa lived every second for her daughter and she created a childhood of wonder and celebration. Romi is her mothers daughter and Melissas brilliance lives on in her. I loved Melissa very much and I remember being told that her cancer had returned very clearly. I couldnt speak and burst into tears, but she put her arms around me and told me it would be alright. I wish she was here to do the same today and Ill never forget her kind generosity. youtu.be/IjMeG3vTuuY
