Wishaw mum thanked by grateful daughter for help over the years

A Wishaw mum who is more like a best friend has been thanked by her loving daughter.

Jean McCaw, from Wishaw, has been nominated for our Say It With Flowers competition by her grateful daughter, Kirsty.

The 56-year-old who lives in Pather was recognised for the award by her daughter Kirsty for being more like her “best friend”.

Kirsty said: “My mum is always there for me at the drop of a hat.

“She is more like my best friend rather than my mum and I wanted to give her a wee bit of recognition.”

And as well as always supporting her daughter Kirsty, the amazing grandmother is devoted to her only grandchild, Olivia.

Kirsty said: “My mum is more than a mum, she is my best friend.

“Regardless of what she is doing she drops everything for me.

“She doesn’t stay very far from me and I don’t know many people with a relationship quite like the one I have with my mum.”

As well as being a devoted mum and grandmother, Jean also works part-time at the Woodcutter pub in Motherwell, where she has worked for a number of years and is highly thought of by both her customers and colleagues.

And when Kirsty told us about her amazing mum, we were only too pleased to help out, surprising her with a stunning floral arrangement, courtesy of our friends at Pixies Petals in Newmains.

“My mum and I are super close and she will probably hit me when she finds out that I have nominated her for the competition, but she will also be really grateful,” Kirsty added.
