Being a single mum is never easy and despite times being hard, I never went without anything as a child. I have nothing but beautiful memories which I treasure all the time. My mum always made sure I was happy and provided for me above and beyond. We always had a special bond-being an only child and for the most part being just us in our little bubble, we of course grew very close and still are to this day. I remember so many happy holidays with my Mum and my Nan, whether it was to Butlins to meet Timmy Mallet or to Devon to see the scenic cliffs, we always had fun and we still always make sure we go on holiday together every year. It is just us 2 now of course but we always have a ton of fun and we often reminise about the past, thinking back fondly.
I am grateful when I realise how hard it must have been for my mum to make ends meat and to provide for me. We were never 'poor' but it frustrates me when people use 'living on a council estate' as a sob story. Yes, I often missed living in a nice house with a pretty back garden but I honestly believe that home is what you make it and we have always been able to make the best of things. My mum would always go out of her way to give me what I wanted (and of course when you are 10 you want every toy going...) and I never appreciated the fact that at some points, when my mum was working up to 4 jobs, that she was doing all purely for me and my wellbeing. 
So I just wanted to say thank you Mum, for being there when I cried but equally for helping me to be happy and for creating so many special memories with me. I hope I can be a great mum one day, just like you, and have that bond that we have, with my child, which is so tight it will never be broken by anything or anyone. I truely love you. xxx
