Sometimes I think I smell it again, and I get a sense that you're there. I miss the way you could always tell, when something in my life had gone wrong, how you'd talk to me until I felt better, your words soothed me like a song. And so I sit here once again, remembering these things I miss, and this year, just like every year, I make a silent wish. I wish that one day I'll see you again, whole, and safe, and sound. That you'll take my hand securely in yours, and for heaven we'll be bound. Really wish I could talk to you just one more time Mam. Cari ti am byth bythoedd Mam, Jodie xx
