For my Nema

I found myself looking through some old photographs and was taken back to moments that feel like yesterday! I vividly remember a fancy dress party for which you went as a robot. Do you remeber?

How quickly time has moved. The little boy I once carried in my arms has grown into the person standing a head and shoulder (twice), taller than me today. While so much has changed, one thing never has: the love I have for you.

Watching you, "the child living in Wilmslow with green eyes" grow has been one of the greatest privileges and blessings I could ever have known.

Looking at those old memories reminds me that while the years pass, a mother's heart never stops holding on to every version of her child. I still see the little boy in those photographs, and I also see the incredible person you are today. Both fill me with pride. I want you to know that. You are loved beyond measure.
