Mum, when we lost Nan you said to me, 'make the most of me cos you won't realise til I'm gone just how much you'll miss me'!
At that time I couldn't even begin to visualise just how true those words were going to be. The void left is immeasurable...no words can explain the feeling of loss I experience at some point every day.
You were stubborn and cantankerous and sometimes drove me mad ...but I guess thats what Mums are about.
You gave so much to us, your closest family but also to others. I know your church felt the loss greatly. The tireless efforts involving your (and our!)computer skills producing posters, newsletters and letters. The beautiful flower arrangements that you produced and your involvment in the the 'domestic details/organisation' for the church. I miss seeing your quirky posters on the noticeboards outside your church.
I miss our little outings to the seaside..you wistfully gazing at the sea always reciting one of your favourite poems ' I must go down to the sea today...'
I miss our annual visits to the ballet,musicals and theatre. Billy Elliot will always make us cry, thinking of you singing along to the songs, Oh and Mary Poppins was another one which made you burst in to song much to the amusement of those seated around us.
I miss your daily 'phonecalls to tell me that your computer was 'showing off' doing things it hadn't been told to or to report on your visits to the gym and what you had achieved whilst there.
I miss the sharing of times in our 'other life' in Sweden and reminiscing about the past.... I wish I could tell you that I have made contact with some of our friends from the past there.
So many things I want to tell you and can't...
the 18th birthday party for your 'Grandi' that you started to organise was a great success you would be so proud that she did get to university!
...but mainly it's those everyday little things that I sooo miss sharing with you
MY PERFECT STAR............
♥A BEAUTIFUL STAR IS SHINING SO BRIGHT
GIVING OFF THE PERFECT GOLDEN LIGHT
ITS BEAUTY IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE
STARDUST IS FALLING FROM THE SKY FOR ME♥

Heaven
If we could visit heaven,ღ♥ღ
Even for a day,ღ♥ღ
Maybe for a moment,ღ♥ღ
The pain would go away,ღ♥ღ
I'd put my arms around you,ღ♥ღ
And whisper words so true,ღ♥ღ
That living life without you,ღ♥ღ
Is the hardest thing to do.ღ♥ღ
No matter how we spend our days,ღ♥ღ
No matter what we do,ღ♥ღ
No morning dawns or evening falls,ღ♥ღ
When we don't think of you xx.ღ♥ღ
After They Are Gone
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

I'm Still Here
Please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colourful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm everyplace!

Letter From Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
xxxx
I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
