Welcome to our column series written by some of your favourite Channel 7 stars. This week, Rebecca Maddern is reflecting on Mother’s Day. A tear was in my eye and my heart was pounding with pride on my Mother’s Day morning. There was a card made with love from my daughter, it was covered in hearts and stars - her favourite things to draw - and she ran into my bedroom early. I always get a little teary. There is one friend I always think of on this day though, who doesn’t have a mum.
I was only a young teenager when it happened, my friend just a few years older than me and I can’t even recall a specific conversation where we talked about her mum after she passed. It seemed quick, she passed away at home, there was a funeral and from memory we just kind of went on with life, a different kind of normal if you like. It sounds cold and callous; it wasn’t at the time at all, it was just how we as kids moved on.
