Rae 21st September 2010

Hi son, just back from a hard day at College, course is good and the class are all nice but it is a bit strange being "back at school" after all these years. Hope you are proud that I have finally got off my backside and am now doing something with my life. Thinking about being a bereavement councillor but don't know whether I am really ready for it, still I know you will be with me all the way and will help me all you can. Have a meeting with SAC on Thursday at the cemetary about the area round your headstone apparently we have too many plants round your grave but as I explained to them it's the only thing we can get for you and Arran and you know me when it comes to my children I will fight it to the death. Just wish that for one second they could feel what we are feeling but then again we would not wish our pain on anyone. Feel like contacting Lisa Boyle I'm quite sure that with her being a friend of yours she would love to get a story out of it. Who know's you might see us on the front page of the Ayrshire Post!!!!! Hope you are all well and having loads of fun, it's your granny Betty's birthday on Sunday so see and have a big party for her, mind you what do you count as your birthday is it what we celebrated here or is it the day you went back home. Need to go and get your dad fed will speak to you later sweetheart, take care and have fun, love mum XXXXXXXX
