I suppose it’s embarrassing for a man to forever grieve the loss of his mother. Yet I feel no shame about not only acknowledging my grief but also paying eternal tribute to my Mummy.

And since I know that my 14 siblings – inspired by my big brother Christy – all feel the way I do, I pay this loving tribute on their behalf as well.
So here’s to Olive Caroline Louise Hall, who continues to be in death as she was in life – the primary motivation for all that I do, for all that I am and for all that I will ever be:
My Mummy died ten years ago,
Yet she lives like the winds that blow.
She is the sunrise that begins each new day,
She is the sunset that takes one’s breath away.
Like spring rain, she still nurtures me,
Like fall breeze, her spirit roams free.
She is the soothing wave that comes ashore,
She is the scolding voice that says, ‘no more!’
Like the stars, she still guides my feet.
Like the moon, her glow’s a real treat.
My Mummy may be dead and gone,
But so much of her still lives on.
