Laurel Smith

Where to start….. Firstly I’m really feeling for everyone right now and my thoughts and everything i have are with you right now. My name is Jiah and I’m Laurel’s son. This life had different paths for us not by any fault of our own. I would always wonder why I would feel or think a certain way. Sometimes I felt like the black sheep growing up. I soon realised that this was a gift. Its great being different in this world and for that i want to say thank you mum. What a strong, independent awe-inspiring woman. Natasha, Isis and Jimi, you should feel so proud to have a mother that was sent from a different world. Someone that would always have your back and be a support like no other. I can only imagin the advice and guidance she’s given not only to her family but to friends and complete strangers , making them feel safe and everything was going to be alright even though in your heads the world was coming to an end. This calmness and energy i felt a few years back when we were finally reunited. I was given a hug and love for a lifetime of not being able to. Her smile blessed my being to my core. I can’t even imagine what she’s been through. If i lost my son……. Shit I wouldn’t want to think about it, I certainly wouldn’t have been been as strong as her. I love my son more than anything in the world and thats how she made me feel in just a few seconds. How you’ve battled with illness but still been such a blessing to the world i have no idea how that’s even possible? Thank you for helping me solve part of my puzzle, thank you for sending me love and energy even when we were worlds away, thank you for giving me the gift of family, thank you for being such a beautiful angel and lastly thank you for being my mother. With all my heart and soul i love you. Jiah X
