Hi grandad, how are you up there.I cant believe you were taking away from me, especially when i needed you the most.I can remember the last time i saw you when you were playing with my building blocks with me, i miss when i came to yours on a saturday, and im so sorry that i left so quickly, if i knew it was going to end up like this i would of took the time to say goodbye and give you a kiss and tell you i love you (which i didnt do alot) im so sorry and i hope you are proud of me. The family are fine, my mam (joanne grandaughter) thinks about you all the time, and my nana and aunties miss you so much, i dont know how you died but if i did i would of tried to stop it. I hope you are not disapointed with anything i do or have did, cos i would never want to disapoint you. I love you and miss you so much, if i had a time machine i would go back to all the happy times i had with you because there is no one in our family that i love more than you. When you were alive the family stayed together but when you died the family began to break away, you were the reason the family was together. I love you so much grandad and miss you more. You will always be in my heart and dreams, my love always grandad, laura xxxxxxxxxx

To my wonderful dad

To my wonderful dad,
remembering every day of happiness and love we used to share,
from childhood to growing up knowing you were always there.
Then god took you to heaven to have eternal rest,
it was time to take it easy you've always done you'r best.
the love you gave gets stronger every day that we're apart,
i know Dad because i feel it deep within my Heart
All My Love Sue xxxxxxxx

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss. My nan passed away last year and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

missin you

Hi Granda. Havn't spoken to you in a while. Im still wondering why god took you away from us that day and i can never forgive him for that, cos we need you so bad. The pain just gets harder and harder each day now and i dont go a day without thinking of you or wondering how you are. Kane's just joined the army, but i dont want him to go in the real one. I really miss you Granda and the memories are fading really bad, but you will always be in my heart and dreams. Love you granda, miss you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
