I drove around looking for a final resting place f

I drove around looking for a final resting place for my my mum today. I finally chose a cemetery and it all felt so surreal. My mum and I had been talking about the different neighborhoods abd houses we were going to check out when we got back to Florida. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be here, driving around looking for a cemetery. Even more bittersweet was the fact that in my backseat was a welcome mat my mum had seen and loved and bought for her next home. A welcome mat that I will put to use. As I reached home, I decided to start going through papers to see if I could find any paperwork for my Great-Aunt, who is 97 and in a nursing home, and was being taken of by my mum. Almost immediately, I found a book of blessings that my mother had written for me. And it reminded me of how much my mum loved me and would want me to be strong. My mum taught me so many things and I am so grateful that she and I had such a special connection.

First sunset I've seen since I've been in Florida.

My mum was so proud of the kitchen remodel she did last year. She actually handmade every single one of the tiles in the kitchen backsplash! There are so many of my mum's art projects, photographs, and handmade handbags here and I'm thinking of ways to celebrate her talents!

My mum sent me the photo on the right about two months ago saying, "I look like you." Lol. Even though really it was me that looked like her. Though, unfortunately I got none of her fashion sense and style. I think it's finally starting to hit me that she's gone. I feel like I've been going through the motions, but somepart of me is still waiting for her to call or to answer my text messages. My mum and I spoke on the phone about four times a day in the last year. Any random idea I had or any advice I needed I would call her. It doesn't feel real that I'll never be able to call and talk to her again. Her body is being flown from California to Florida next week for the burial and I have requested to do a final viewing. I need to see her one last time before I say goodbye.

It is a different world here in Florida. Just saw

It is a different world here in Florida. Just saw a couple of turtles and gators swimming down the canal at the back of my mum's house. They submerged underwater when I went towards the back fence. My heart was racing though. It has been very surreal being here at the house and still doesn't seem real. I'm going to the funeral home today to get the arrangements underway.

A couple of years ago my mum and I did a tour of t

A couple of years ago my mum and I did a tour of the Tower Bridge and at the end you could walk across/sit on thr seethrough part of the bridge. I was absolutely freaking out; I couldn't even walk across, but my mum was like let me show you how it's done and she walked across, sat, and posed for a photo, all while I was quaking in my boots! That was a really fun day and I'm so glad that my mum and I were able to travel and share those experiences together.

I woke up this morning and I forgot. I was reaching for my phone to call my mum and I forgot. I was about to burst into tears, when I heard my mum's voice saying to "be strong". It has been a week and a day since my mum passed and I still can't quite believe it. I can still vividly remember talking to her about fifteen minutes before she collapsed. My mum loved life and she hated to see me unhappy, anxious, or sad. I am trying to remain positive and forward thinking and celebratory of her life. This photo was taken about two years ago when we did a tour of the houses of Parliament and had afternoon tea there. It was a fun tour and a place I'd always wanted to enter, ever since I was a little kid. My mum and I loved going to museums and other historical places. In fact, I think it was the fact that she took me to so many museums and bought me so many different history books as a kid that I studied history as an undergrad. I'm so grateful to my mum for always being my rock and support. The coroners office in Oakland still have to do the autopsy and then they will release her body. Once her body is released, I will be having her flown to Florida for a burial and online memorial. I will post details as I have them! Thank you to all my friends and family for checking in with me at this time. I have felt an overabundance of love for me and my mum and it has helped me more than you will ever know.

My mum sent this to me a couple of months ago. Taken when we lived in Herne Hill, London. I miss you, mum. Can't believe it's almost been a week since you've been gone. Love you! <3
