Mrs. Wilkinson: I can see it's a letter
Billy: You can open it if you want
Mrs. Wilkinson: Thank god for that, the suspense was killing me
Billy: It's from my mam
Mrs. Wilkinson: You're mam?

Mrs. Wilkinson: I see...
Billy: You can read it if you want. Read it out

Billy: A long time
Billy
And I will have missed you growing,
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll missed you laugh.
Missed you stomping and you 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...
Mrs. Wilkinson
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
Mam
In everthing 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.
Mam & Mrs. Wilkinson
Missed your stamping and your shouting,
I 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.
Mam
Love you forever.
Billy
Love you forever.
