This was what mum wrote me in place of a card this year
I was working on my birthday and late at that, so I scooted into Mum's with Carrot, left him there and off to work. Got back and she'd written this :P
My darling lovely daughter, its your birthday today
oh me oh my, so much to say.....
on this windy soggy and goddamn wet day
dashing in you came you and carrot sopping wet
then waiting outside cos taxi not here yet
but.....back to your birthday we will now get
its hard to accept so many years have passed
so many memories shared and amassed
how can it be ....all gone by in such a whirl
when you were my beautiful snuggly baby girl
deep into my heart you came
where you have and always will remain
I couldn't be more proud of you and still feel very blessed
and OMG you only went and got the title Doctor no-less
your new career is up and running a different course begun
it's lovely seeing you progress happily which makes me your happy mum
you never dreamt that you would one day enjoy working in insurance
but LOL here you are now with happiness in abundance
you are a truly lovely person always thoughtful and kind
and you never fail to impress me with your staggering mind
how did I get so lucky all those years ago
you magically arriving my precious cargo
so I wish for you to be happy and I hope that you shall
my lovely darling daughter and my pal
A Big Loud HAPPY BIRTHDAY
My love always
Ma Xxxxx
