Mother’s Day is a special day, one filled with celebration and love. A day to be spent with families, be it out for Sunday dinner, a stroll in the sun, or just sat around the telly together.
It’s a day that many take for granted, except of course, for those who cannot. For the thousands across Wales spending time with their mothers today, there will be thousands more looking up at the spring sky. Paul Young is a local business owner from west Wales, and this is his first Mother’s Day without his mother.
Kathryn Young, who lived in Lamphey, Pembrokeshire, went into hospital one summer’s day last year. Two days later, she was gone. She was only 69, and for her son, that fateful day in Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest will forever be etched in his mind.
