ir mother seems to be still with them.
Both often think of what their mother has said in her card , “I want you to know that you have always been very special and I have and always will love you dearly...”
After writing to Charlotte about growing up and the change from being a girl to a young woman, Debra adds, “Please have fun on your 11th birthday and remember Mummy and Daddy are always with you.”
Both girls have written letters to their parents in reply. Charlotte has told. them about how she went bowling and about a trip to London Zoo. Katie has written how she will never forget her Daddy, “I know he’s still with me.”
Writing about womanhood, Debra said, “I remember how embarrassed I was at the time, just remember that every single 10 to 14-year-old has gone through these changes, so don’t be afraid and don’t be embarrassed.”
Charlotte puts the card down. “There are times when I’d like to be able to ask Mummy things,” She says, “just things about life and what to do in a difficult situation at school or whatever.”
But she knows there are more cards to come. She doesn’t know when or how many, but Debra has given a far greater legacy than her will could ever provide. “A present doesn’t say what you think, ”Charlotte says, “but a card does.”
And then she reads the words that echo4 more powerfully than any. “You are a wonderful girl and remember what Mummy and Daddy have taught you. Look after one another. Lots of love, as always, Mummy.”
