It's stamping on her 'rabbits.'
It's showing an interest in everything she does.
It's knowing that when she's playing with her ears, she's tired.
It's genuinely knowing what's best for her.
It's sending her 'good luck' texts for Ward Round.

It's thinking she looks beautiful no matter what.
It's crying at every sentimental gift she gives you.
It's being there for all of the firsts.
It's keeping everything she makes you in Nursary.
It's putting your own life on hold to help your daughter with hers.
It's never having to pause and think about whether you should give up.
It's sending presents and letters of encouragement to her best-friend.
It's encouraging your daughter to take all of opportunities that come her way, no matter what it means to you.
It's sending her a parcel of Halloween-ness to the Hospital!

It's sending your daughter a card every single week she's in Hospital for.
It's rejecting professional's advice when it's to abandon your daughter.
It's believing your daughter can do anything she puts her mind to.
It's falling over and laughing in the Blackpool Primark changing rooms.
It's wanting to a part of your daughter's journey every step of the way.
It's making a bed beside hers in Hospital.
It's travelling for hours just to be with your daughter for a couple of hours.

It's putting your daughter before everything else.

I love my Mum more than words can say and after this weekend and the past 22 (almost 23) years of my life, no amounts of thank yous will ever be enough.
