If You Were Here is a story I wrote for my mum, who I lost to cancer in 2018, and my son, Jack, who was just three at the time.
After Mum died, I was consumed by grief. But perhaps the deepest part of that grief was knowing my children had lost her too — and grieving all the years, moments and memories they should have had together.
I felt this especially for Jack. He and Mum shared such a beautiful bond. They were best friends, and they would light up at the sight of each other every single day.
