My mum and I are, in many ways, quite similar. We're both creative, gregarious, and energetic.

My mum brought me up on her own. All we really had was each other.

I spent pretty much every minute of my life with my mom.

Once you're a mom, always a mom. It's like riding a bike, you never forget.

There are things about my mum that I only realised later, things that make me admire her.

My earliest memory is my mom picking me up after I had fallen down, giving me a big hug and reading me 'Goodnight Moon.' From that moment, to this one, every single memory I have of my mom is that regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me.

I visited my father for the full ten years that he was in prison, so we already had a deep and loving relationship, and remembered our mother at those times.

When my mom turned 91, I wanted to use the time that we have left in our lives to get to know each other as adults.

I think I remember being held by my mum as a baby.

As an adult, it's hard for me to remember my mother before her sickness. But if I go back into childhood, I can access that.
