Understand why you took your own life’

happy to impose an age limit but I am not giving up.

Mother’s Day. The cemetery will be filled with sons and daughters. But I am a mother who’ll take flowers to my daughter. Raymond and the children got me a beautiful ornament with a picture of Britney and me.

We are leaving after 10 years in this house. We just can’t stay here anymore without you. But no matter where we go you will always be with us. It’s just too hard to stay here sweetheart.

Been taking time out lately to deal with our GMC complaint. They have not found Britney’s GP wrong in prescribin­g the drugs our daughter overdosed with. It’s so hard to accept. It won’t stop me working on my Scottish Parliament petition.

Our lovely Bradley this morning, getting ready to leave for a day out with his club. Swimming, rock climbing and lots more outdoor fun. Rhiannon has her friend’s party tonight and excited about getting her make-up done. A quiet night for Raymond and me. Love our children so much.

Watched Little Boy Blue on TV It’s heartbreak­ing. I use to wonder how families carry on. I know so well they don’t. Can’t help thinking of Rhys Jones’ parents.

Manchester Arena’s hellish bombing. As I light Britney’s candles tonight I will light one for the parents who have lost their son or daughter in last night’s horrible terror attack. Sending love and prayers to all.

At the waterfall at Rouken Glen. I want to say Happy 10th Birthday to our amazing son Bradley, I know it won’t be as happy as you’d like as you’re missing Britney so much. If anyone deserves happiness it’s you Bradley.

Today we ordered Britney’s flowers for her anniversar­y for her graveside. Soul destroying. It still feels like yesterday and certainly nowhere near a year.

Just back from visiting our baby nephew. He is so tiny and perfect. Britney would have been so excited. She and Auntie Christine were so close.

How can it have been a full year now? It feels sometimes like it was only yesterday. Would you be training for the police job that you so wanted by now? Or would you be learning to drive? There are so many things we feel robbed of, Britney.
