A whole year has passed since we said our final goodbyes. It doesn't seem real. A special mum friend, confidante, teacher, moral guide and support. You made me become the best version of myself that i could be. The thought of your disappointment (or wrath) was enough to stop any wayward actions. Blessed to have you as my mum ❤️ 💓 💕 💖 xx

O Lord, O Thou Whose mercy... OLord, O Thou Whose mercy hath encompassed all, Whose forgiveness is transcendent, Whose bounty is sublime, Whose pardon and generosity are all-embracing, and the lights of Whose forgiveness are diffused throughout the world! O Lord of Glory! I entreat Thee, fervently and tearfully, to cast upon Thy handmaiden who hath ascended unto Thee the glances of the eye of Thy mercy. Robe her in the mantle of Thy grace, bright with the ornaments of the celestial Paradise, and, sheltering her beneath the tree of Thy oneness, illumine her face with the lights of Thy mercy and compassion. Bestow upon Thy heavenly handmaiden, O God, the holy fragrances born of the spirit of Thy forgiveness. Cause her to dwell in a blissful abode, heal her griefs with the balm of Thy reunion, and, in accordance with Thy will, grant her admission to Thy holy Paradise. Let the angels of Thy loving-kindness descend successively upon her, and shelter her beneath Thy blessed Tree. Thou art, verily, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

A wife, a mother, a grandmother too, This is the legacy we have from you You taught us love and how to fight You gave us strength, you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another Not just as a wife, a mother or grandmother For all of us you gave your best And now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts we’ll eternally keep.
