  9. Poppy duck,

    Coming to terms that you’re no longer with us is very hard to accept.
    I’ll miss our talks, your laughs and they way your face would light up everytime we spoke about nan.
    I promise you that your legacy and your stubbornness will live on with each and everyone us.

    Of everything you have accomplished in your lifetime
    I will always be thankful that you gave mum 2 sisters and us 2 aunties.

    And mum if you’re reading this I just want to say thank you for taking that leap of faith and finding your dad because if you didn’t then none of the memories us kids got to share and create with poppy duck would be possible.

    Until we meet again.

    Lots of love Steph
