1 whole year of missing you Mum 💔

6 months today I last saw your face, held your hand and told you I love you. Times gone by so fast yet so slow and life’s pretty rubbish without you. I miss you so much every second of the day Mum. Stay close please and keep guiding me through like you have been. I love you 🤍

Easter sunday 12 -4 -2020. What can i say that hasnt already been said. Simple how honoured i am to have been able to call you my sister untill your life was so sadly cut short .nee nee you may no longer be with us in person but you will be forever in our hearts and mind, never to be forgotten 💕

So my beautiful big sis what can I really say that has not been said already oh a few things have sprung to my mind. Firstly thank you for sneaking me into your bed at night when I was a child to rub your legs with my feet and for nudging me to carry on if i fell asleep for dropping me in on my head over the telly when I was only months old as you didn't want to put me down. For taking me on my first driving lesson and sitting in Harold crescent for 45mins in the passenger sit cos I kept stalling your car this you later told me was due to having short legs! And I believed you. For are ready steady cook challenges with Ann which we held weekly at each others houses. For allowing me to peel your prawns cos you said you didn't like their eyes yep I fell for that too. For always letting me eat from your plate I'm not sure why you stopped that when I reached 21? For taking me to my only ever visit to thrope Park and convincing me that loggers leap was a gentle boat ride! For taking me to my first steak restaurant where once again I peeled your prawns and I loved it. Infact what I am trying to say is although you have now taken your journey over the rainbow bridge my memories of you, and there are to many to vocalise will remain with me my forever. To the most amazing lady who was my best friend my soul mate and sister when take my journey to join you once again it be done with the knowledge you will be waiting for me with your ever loving arms to hold me and I promise to keep my promise to you. God bless your beautiful soul my angel I know you will watch over me all until we meet again but for now for every cherry blossom I smell I know you are with me. X

The Final Flight.

Don’t grieve for me,
For now I’m free,
I’m following the path God showed to me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Those tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found peace at the end of this day

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with smiles and joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
All these things too I will truly miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
The peace i now have brings the sunshine of tomorrow.

My Life’s been full, I treasured and valued much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's’ touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He has set me free.

From my first breath to your very last we have never been far apart. You have been with me for so many special occasions. From sports days too my first day of school, birthdays, holidays the list is endless. If I was doing something special there was you, cheering me on from the sidelines. My biggest fan, my hero most importantly, my grandma. I think into the future of all the special occasions I’ve still got to come and although my heart is heavy knowing you won’t be there in person I know you will in spirit supporting me and Ethan no matter what.

Mum pointed out to Ethan and me that of all the guardian angels in the world how lucky we are now to have you, grandma as ours. Guiding us looking out for us, protecting us all from up in heaven. So every feather we find, every angel number we see, every sign that appears we know it’s you. Filled with love as we’ve always had. I wouldn’t want another guardian angel up there other then you. We love you grandma, to infinity and beyond, to the moon and back again, even after all this time, Always.

You were my mum, my dad and my best friend, there wasn’t a day that went by where we didn’t speak to each other. You were the first person I would go to with my problems, the one who picked me up when I was down, wiped my tears when I was sad, smiled when I was happy and helped me raise my children and I’m so thankful to you for all of that. 35 years of love, fun and adventure together with a few tears and rubbish moments along the way. I miss you so much already, life without you is pretty crap and like Ive always said, the time I’m going to need you the most is the time you will no longer be here, but knowing I was able to be with you all the way to the end at home, filled with so much love gives me some comfort, I’m just so sorry your poor body couldn’t take you as far as your mind and heart wanted to. You was a true inspiration right until the end. The strongest, bravest most kindest woman I know. my hero, my mum. I love you
