I am still struggling to accept you are not here any more Mam, a minute does not pass when you are
in my thoughts, I see your face & hear your voice clearly. I still check your mobile for missed
calls and each time mine rings I think its you, or hope.
You were suffering greatly and it was so hard for us all to watch you go through it but you kept
your dignity & your sense of humour & you was still supporting us in our troubles.
You are a Mam in a million & we miss you more than I ever thought imaginable.
Your funeral was 'packed' I am told, I say that because it all passed in a blur, there was standing
room only at the crem and ST.Hildas church was full, I am sure you would have been proud.
So sorry your not here with us Mam but we take comfort knowing you are now with your Mam and your
Dad.
Loving you for ever, forgetting you never!
kisses from Jess & Connor aswell as me & our Trace, Dad, Dai & Jase and am sure from everyone who
had the pleasure of knowing you.

I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.

For my Mam

Special Day

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Missing you Mam,,,so so much xx

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.

A THOUSAND TIMES WE'VE NEEDED YOU
A THOUSAND TIMES WE'VE CRIED
IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU
YOU WOULD NEVER OF DIED
A HEART OF GOLD STOPPED BEATING
TWO TWINKLING EYES CLOSED TO REST
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
NEVER A DAY GOES BY THAT YOUR NOT IN MY HEART AND SOUL.

Our hearts are truly broken, our tears they fall like rain, we wish to see you one more time to ease this awful pain. We know that you're in Heaven and in Heaven you shall remain a very special Angel, until we meet again xxx

If we could have one lifetime wish, and one dream that could come true, we would pray to God with all our hearts just to see and speak to you. A thousand words won't bring you back we know because we've tried and neither will a million tears, we know because we've cried. You've left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too but we never wanted memories, we only wanted you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.

Dad

Dad just came upto visit you with me, its the first time I have been to the grave since your interement, I am so pleased he came with me, as he has not had chance to say his goodbyes,,,,he had a massive heart attack exactly a week after you passed, he is ok Mam but not completely out of the woods.
He has now made it possible for me to come and visit both you and Nan alone now.
Love you always xx

work

I went back to work yesterday mam, I didnt make it till the end of the day, soon as lunch time came I thought about ringing you, just like I had done most days over the last few months, it hurt!
I lost it at my desk and then was sent home, the doctor said I need more time,,,,,everyone says we need more time,,,,but I dont think it will get easier, Im going to miss you more as each day passes, to hear your voice I could always see your smile.
I am lost Mam.
Love you so much and missing you like 'crazy'!!!!! xxxx
