Inheritance

I opened a letter today from my solicitors. It was regarding my Mother's estate and my inheritance. I have been left £906.82. This is a 25% share of the residue after all her other children were paid. The majority of everything my parents owned was in my Father's name. I'm not fussed about receiving any money, but it has come at a good time. I am humbled that my Mother thought of me this highly; it's a nice feeling.

Yesterday was the 13 month anniversary of her death, she was 64. I still miss her like crazy and haven't recovered properly from the grief since she died. It's true what they say, "you can't replace your Mum". There was nothing that was ever beyond her capabilities when it came to me and my Brother. Looking back I took this far too much for granted. 

For my Mum's 60th birthday I treated her. It took a few days to organise but was really worth it. I provided an itinerary of the day and made sure everyone close to her was involved. It started with a big sign hung up outside, wishing her well from all her children. After a cooked breakfast a few of them were whisked off to the hairdressers. My Mum got herself a lovely haircut. Dinner at a posh restaurant followed with several of us. The day ending in a limosuine trip to London to see We Will Rock You, a play about the rock band Queen which she thouroughly enjoyed.

The day after, my Mum fell ill and had her first stint in hospital.
