What's this?
It's a letter
I can see it's a letter
You can open it if you want
Thank God for that, the suspense was killing me
It's from me mum
Your mam?
She wrote it for us when I was 18
Except I couldn't wait
I see
You can read it if you want
Read it out
Dear Billy
I must seem a distant memory
Which is?
Which is probably a good thing
And it will have been a long-
A long time
And I will have missed you growing
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stomping and your shouting
I'll have missed telling you off
But please, Billy
Know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy
But please, Billy
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything
And you must promise me this, Billy
In everything you do
Always be yourself, Billy
And you always will be true
And I'll have missed you growing
I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stomping and your shouting
I'll have missed telling you off
But please, Billy
Know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Love you forever
Love you forever
Mum
She must have been a very special woman
No, she was just me mum
