As Mother's Day approached, I felt apprehensive as it was to be the first without my loving and caring mother. My mother passed away suddenly…Nothing prepares you for the loss and devastation. It was heart-warming to find an article regarding Trees for Mum. I registered online and my husband and I attended. We planted a strong and healthy gum tree that will hopefully grow into a beautiful tree to be enjoyed by our community. We now have a charming place to visit and reflect. Future Mother's Days will be approached as an opportunity to contribute to the community while remembering my wonderful mum.
