WHEN you’ve lost a loved one, birthdays, Christmas and other special events can be a difficult time.
Today is Mother's Day – the day we thank all the important female figures in our lives, whether it’s mums, grannies, aunties or family friends.
But we know there are many of our readers whose mums have sadly passed away, so we gave you the chance to remember them by sharing your own special messages.
Here is a selection of your messages.
If your mum is no longer with us and you'd like to share a photo and a few words, please use the link at the bottom of the page.
Please include a clear photograph - no filtered pictures or montages – their full names, where in Mid Cheshire they lived and your special message.
We will not be able to use any submissions that have missing information.
