Darling Mum, I miss you more and more as the years go by. I wonder if you knew how much we loved you - did we tell you often enough? Did we ever thank you properly for the support you gave us in your quiet, kind way? Did we ever say sorry and really mean it when we teased you about your poor, crooked fingers? I hope so.

It was a gift for me to look after you during the the last year of your life and I never worried at all about the care you needed. I know you were worried about being a burden but it was a privilege for me to be your carer and I wish I had told you that. I am grateful to have had a Mum as wonderful as you and I thank God daily for making you my Mum. I know I learned at your knee how to be a good mother to my daughters.

All my love Mum now and always and see you "down the street". Barbara

4 years is a long time

Four years have passed since you went on ahead. Four years is a long time to not have you in our lives. We miss you more as the years go by and the memory of your voice and laugh fade just a little more each year.

I miss your happy, smiling face, your crooked fingers and your quiet gentleness. I miss your wisdom and the way you used to say so much without saying much at all. The loss of your kindness has left a great big hole in our lives and we ache to have you here with us to discuss our problems with. I miss doing things for you and with you, buying your books, taking you out for a coffee, laughing at the way you used to relish my Chicken and Grape Salad!

You were the best Mum any girl could have and Terri and I were very, very lucky indeed. Thank you Mum!

I know we'll meet again down the road but I would rather you were here with me now. Until then, love from your "big daughter", Barb

Still missing you, darling Mum

They say it gets easier as time goes by - I don't think it does! I still miss you and think about you every day. I miss your laugh, your quiet ways, your crooked little fingers and doing small things for you and with you. I saw kangaroos on the land yesterday and thought about how you used to love to sit out in the sun in your chair watching the kangaroos for hours.
I saw this poem and thought of you Mum

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

I love you and miss you more than words can say - see you down the road Darling.

2 years today

Dear Mum

2 years ago today we lost you and I still miss you as it it were yesterday. We talk about you often and still laugh at the funny things you used to do and say. We felt safe teasing you because we knew that you knew that we loved you and laughed with you. That laughter is missing from my life now!

You were such a kind, good soul - there are too many angels in Heaven and I would like to have you back!

I'll be seeing you somewhere down the road Dear Mum. With love always, your Barbara

I Miss You

Little Nan, it's been 2 years today and I still miss you very much. You are always in my heart. I never realised how much you meant to me until you were gone and I think of you everyday. I hope, wherever you are, you are happy and pain free. See you again one day little Nanny. Love Pip xxx

xx ~ xx ~ A BUTTERFLY CAME FLOATING BY,

I THOUGHT I KNEW ITS FACE.
IT LANDED ON MY SHOULDER,
AND SPREAD ITS WINGS OF LACE.

I LOOKED AND SAW IT SMILING,
AS IT WINKED AND FLEW AWAY.
I'M SURE I HEARD IT WHISPER,
WE'LL MEET AGAIN ONE DAY.

Its Hard to Face Tomorrow

It's hard to face tomorrow,
When someone you love has gone,
Its harder still to realize,
that our lives still go on.

The heartbreak and the sorrow
Might not always show,
People say it lessens
How little do they know,

They say we have our memories,
But they don't understand,
You cannot kiss a memory's face,
Or hold a memory's hand.

I want to send a message,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to live without.

So rest in peace dear angel,
And thanks for all you've done,
I pray that god has given you,
The crown you've truly won

Little Nan

You were the best Nan anyone could ever ask for. I remember, being a little girl and coming to stay with you overnight. You lived in the funniest little crooked house and it was such a treat staying there with you, especially lighting the bath :-) You were always so generous and kind to your grandchildren, we loved you dearly and we know you loved us too. Having you there to watch Adam grow into a young man was especially wonderful. Not many kids can say they lived with and loved their great-grandmother the way Adam can. I think of you every day Nan and I miss you more than I thought I would. It still feels funny knowing I won't see you again. But I still see you in my memories and remember you in my heart. Love you always Little Nan.
