Kathleen Grace Brammer died on december 25th 2006 at 8 in the the morning , just as the children were waking up to see what Santa had left them in their stockings , just as the people of the Salvation army were making their way through the wards singing christmas carols , just as the birds were shaking the dew from damp frosty feathers .......
My much loved mum left us to be once again reunited with her husband , my dad after nearly 15 years apart , hope you found each other mum x
A prayer for those that mourn as i do .......

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An Angel's kiss

We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted~~~~

As we travel on our way.

We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss

A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.

For in your pain and sorrow
An Angel's kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.

So when your hearts are heavy
and filled with tears and pain,
and no one can console you
Remember once again...

About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze You took for granted
Was just...An Angel's Kiss
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miss me but let me go
When it comes to the end of road
and the sun has set for me.
I want no tears in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little but not too long
and not with your heads bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me but let me go
For this is a journey we all must take
and each must go it alone.
It’s all apart of the master plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
go to the friend that we used to know
and bury your sorrows in doing good works.
Miss me but let me go.
Perhaps if we could see the splendours
of the land to which our loved ones are called
from you and me, we’d understand.
Perhaps if we could hear the welcome
they receive, from old familiar voices
all so dear, we would not grieve.
Perhaps if we could know the reason why
they went, then we’d smile and wipe away
the tears that flow, we’d wait content.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm still trying mum ,its so very hard here without you darling mum....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


PLEASE, don't ask me if I'm over it yet.
I'll never be over it.
PLEASE, don't tell me she's in a better place.
She isn't here with me.
PLEASE, don't say at least she isn't suffering.
I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer at all.
PLEASE, don't tell me you know how I feel,
unless you have lost your mum
PLEASE, don't ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up.
PLEASE, don't tell me at least you had her for a fifty one years
When would you choose for your mum to die?
PLEASE, don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear.
PLEASE, just say you're sorry.
PLEASE, just say you remember my mum if you do.
PLEASE, just let me talk about my mum
PLEASE, mention my mums name.
PLEASE, just let me cry.

~Author Unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We celebrate this time of year
because our Lord was born;
But let us not forget
That there are others who may mourn.

In times of sorrow, times of strife,
it's sometimes hard to smile,
So, Holy Spirit, please come in
and tarry for awhile.

Touch those who may be suffering;
Touch every wounded heart,
Touch all those burdened souls
When they feel distant, set apart.

Remove the pain, and fill their hearts
with happiness and mirth,
And let them all rejoice now
in The Savior's holy birth.

Amen

In Memory of You



I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.

I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.

I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?

Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.

I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.

Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.

I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.
I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found

To All Mothers

The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
"Is this the long way?" she asked. And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning. "But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."

And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, "A little patience and we are there." So the children climbed, and when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you." And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I have given them strength."

And the next day came strange clouds which, darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said: "Look up. Lift your eyes to the light." And the children looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the Mother said, "This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God."

And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them."

And the children said, " You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence."

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every teardrop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space...not even death!


Thank you for being my mother~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mummy you made all our christmas's so very special , it must have been very hard with so many children , i remember each and every one , the warmth , the lovely food that you somehow prepared for us all in that tiny kitchen of yours and the , fun and noise and dad getting drunk and in trouble every year ( he never learnt did he ) the smell of the real tree and chestnuts the boys gathered from the forest tree's , home made mince pie's and the lovely cake you made every year as well the puddings , you made christmas special for us kids mummy , i hope i told you enough how much i loved you and appreciated you .
Tis dreadful here without you mum ......it's almost too much to bare .
word is getting round mummy about this page i did for you and all the kids are paying a visit to say about what a truly lovely nanny you are , soon it will be overflowing like our hearts are with love for you , i miss you so mum , i'm hurting and i've never known a pain like it ......
we all are , the boys are crying like small boys and us girls are all lost !!!! we are a family torn apart in grief as i knew we would be ................
what a special lady you are mum to have such an effect on so many lives , so many hearts are broken , so many smiles are gone , so many tears still falling for our very very special mum ........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If i could have one lifetime wish
A dream that would come true.
i'd pray to god with all my heart
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back
i know because i've tried
and neither can a million tears,
i know because i've cried.
You left behind our broken hearts
and happy memories too.
i never wanted memories though
i only wanted YOU.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used to love to listen to my mum's stories of her early life ...of her home with her parents in a very small house on the outskirts of Southampton and of her hair raising stories of life during the second world war , how she and her family survived is a miracle because the house next door to theirs received a direct hit with one of Hitlers bombs so my daddy moved her and her two children my eldest brother and sister to the countryside where we live now , it was just going to be for a few months but they never wanted to go back ,she will leave that house for the last time today .........
I am Typing this story from the next street ,i was born in the house that my daddy moved them to during the war almost 70 years ago ,they never lived anywhere else and all 8 of their children were born at home except for 1 and that was only because the others had whooping cough , and the district nurse feared for his life .
My mum met my Dad while he was lodging at my aunties house out in the forest , my auntie ran a little guest house for men who worked away from home and my dad was working for a parquet flooring company in Basingstoke , my mum was helping my auntie ( her big sister ) to do the rooms ) my mum said my dad was cheeky to her and he had the most beautiful red hair ( it now runs through our family ) , my dad had to leave his trade and join up when war broke out and he joined the royal navy , he was in it for years and years .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was born one of 13 children and was only one of 3 survivors , all the rest having died of old age or illness. , She has a surviving sister Vera and brother Alfie who are devastated by her passing as are we all .
My mum had a very big family herself 5 boys and 3 girls and worked very hard to keep us well fed and dressed .
as she was dying i was holding her hands and i thought back over the years of all the very many things those hands have done for me and my brothers and sisters , her hands were bent and gnarled through years of scrubbing and cleaning and shear hard work , she never had it easy like we do today , she never had a washer or dryer or even a hoover for years , yet i never once heard my mum complain .....
She did her very best for all of us and i tried to do my very best for her in her twilight years , keep her from being lonely and make sure she ate good things and look after her self well .
My mum was my very best friend ,i saw her most days so her passing will leave a huge gap in my life.
She was very fit and healthy but fell and broke her hip and caught pneumonia which made awful bad complications for her and her breathing was dreadful and the last day of her life was so distressing for her that she asked to be left alone(by the medical staff ) and told my sister and i that she needed to go now .....to die.. and that we were to be brave and let her go and that she was taking no more drugs at all ! my mum was the bravest most beautiful in the whole world .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your Funeral is on Monday the 8th of January ,i hope the sun don't shine mummy ,it didn't shine for daddies did it ? somehow it seems cruel to have the sun shining on the day my mum is laid to rest , i hope it rains .
Do you remember your horse and cart ride through the forest mum ? wasn't that just the best day ? your birthday treat , sitting up there with auntie Vera loving every minute , laughing like girls , I'm glad you got to do it mum .and your little tea party after was just so perfect wasn't it ?
You had a very hard life mum , but i hope you had a loving life , and i hope there is an after life , and that yours is easy .....
god bless you my wonderful mum and thank you for my life ....my wonderful childhood and for making me the person i am today and for my brothers and sisters , i hope one day we can all be happy together and reunited in yours and daddies arms again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I could only make it to the church gates mummy , i couldnt bare to look at your coffin , so i didn't go any further , i know you will understand , it was raining though ,and it never stopped all day , rest in peace with our daddy now , sleeping together forever .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mum used to love watching Mick Jagger on the telly ,she laughed till the tears ran down her face at his dancing , she also used to like Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdink and Irish music also .
i can see her in my minds eye , having a dance at weddings and parties , i know she liked dancing when she was younger , her and her sisters knew how to have a good time ...even though times were hard .
my mum loved the spring and autumn , but she loved the colours of nature what ever the season , we used to drive her through the forest just to look at the tree's .

If roses grow in heaven lord
pick a bunch for me
place them in my mums arms
and tell her their from me .

Wonderful Legacy

There Is A Wonderful Legacy
Of Which I Wish To Tell
About A Wonderful Lady
That We Loved So Well
Her Strength Lives Within Us
And Grows Stronger Each Day
Her Honor Still Lingers
Though Her Life Has Slipped Away
I Miss The Sound Of Her Laughter
And Her Stern Lectures Too!
I Miss Hearing Her Say, “I Love You��?
She Fought A Good Battle
Then Gave Up The Fight
To Rest In The Arms Of Jesus
What A Beautiful Sight
In Our Hearts Her Memory
Will Always Stay
Nothing Could Ever Take
Her Remembrance Away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one of my friends sent you this poem mummy .....

Letter from Heaven
To my dearest family some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived today,
I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said "I welcome you,
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you are part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
1 wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain though my life on earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it's time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you're not going . . you're just coming here to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To show her every day
That she's my only one
If my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance
To tell her how I feel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Katy's song
I hear the drizzle of the rain
like a memory it falls soft and warm continuing
tapping on my roof and walls

And from the shelter of my mind
through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets
to England where my heart lies

My minds distracted and diffused
my thoughts are many miles away
they lie with you and you're asleep
kiss you when you start your day

and the song I was writing, is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
writing songs I can't believe
with words that tear and strain to rhyme

and so you see I have come to doubt
all that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
the only truth I know is you

and as I watch the drops of rain
weave their weary paths and I...
I know that I am like the rain
there but for the grace of you, go I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mother

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my mother is there
Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my mother near
All I have to do is call.


A mothers love is always true
On that you can depend.
she will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our mother see us through
she smiles when we are happy,
and will cry when we are blue..

Thank you for being my mother

For Mothers Day 2007
we miss you so much mum

YOU LEFT US

There is a place where I can go that has no pain or sorrow.
The angels sing and laugh all day and know there's no tomorrow.
I look and see the harps they play and hear their mellow tinkle.
I reach my hand out - just to touch - and I can play a jingle.

There is no fear, there is no hurt, nor sadness in my heart.
No unkind words, nor unkind thoughts, to pull us all apart.
A helping hand is placed in mine and I am reassured.
You guide me through, and I'll help you, and we will
quench our thirst.

Please come with me, come to the light, climb those mighty stairs.
Walk through the door, give up the fight and peacefulness is yours.
You will not hurt; there is no pain, you will not suffer more.
Come reach to me, I'll take your hand, and open all the doors.

She went away, now she is gone, she left us here alone.
She took her smile; she took her joys, and traveled up on home.
She does not hurt, she is not sad, there is no further pain.
She looks down here and throws a kiss, and sends it on the rain.

We see the stars and look for her and wander where she's gone.
We feel the hurt, and suffer pain because we're left alone.
Our heads, they know, she's better off and we should understand.
But our hearts, they break into, and cannot bare to stand.

Come back to us, we wail and cry, come back to ease the pain.
Our love for you will see us through protected from this strain.
But oh how selfish that we are, to even feel that way.
With all the suffering that you had, we could not take away.

There are no clouds, the sun is bright, but all I see is shadow.
I feel the drops upon my face and hurry for the morrow.
To run away, to go and hide, to cower in my sorrow.
Afraid to face, the awful truth, you have no more tomorrow's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'If Only'

If only you had told me Mum
Before we had to part
Just how i'd ever find a way
To heal my broken heart
I know that you'd have found the words
To help me understand
Just how i'd carry on
Without my dear Mum's guiding hand
If only you could hold me Mum
To dry these tears i cry
Then perhaps it wouldn't hurt so much
For me to say ......GOODBYE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.

I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.

I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?

Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.

I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.

Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.

I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.

For your first birthday in Heaven mummy....
and for dad on sunday for Fathers day '''
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please



Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong

Somebodys mother

The woman was old and ragged and grey
And bent with the chill of the Winter's day.
The street was wet with a recent snow
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by
Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eyes.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of 'school let out,'
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and grey
Hastened the children on their way.
Nor offered a helping hand to her -
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses' feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry troop,
The gayest lad of all the group;
He paused beside her and whispered low,
"I'll help you cross, if you wish to go."
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow,
And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and grey,
And her own dear boy is far away."
'Somebody's mother' bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was "God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son, and pride and joy!"
Happy birthday my beautiful mum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Is Your Song"

Live your life to the fall
With a lifetime of smiles
Made us know right from wrong
Always knowing a lie
You made us to be tough
But never too rough
Rise above what you said
Never easily lead.

And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two

You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

So I'll try and go on
Loving all that we know
Through the hardest of times
you put on a show

You made us stand tall
When all around us would fall
Even when you were alone
You believed you could fly

And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two

You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
We wrote it for you
It'll take all our lives
Just to help us get through
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

Mother's Love

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we have dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.
i have needed you so many times mum..........

For mothers day 2008

mothers n daughters ...
You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend:
Your wisdom and my will.

I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved, and I was good.

I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you still. Though you are gone,
You live in what I do.
love n miss you sooooo much my mum

~~~~~~
People think we've forgotten
When at times they see us smile
Little do they know the heartache
That our smiles hide
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to those who loved and lost you
Your memory will last and last.

Gifts

Tributes

We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow, too.

We think of you in silence
And make no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.

Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.
Happy birthday in heaven mum

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful Daughter

You gave me many things in life
Gifts both great and small
But most of all you gave me love
The greatest gift of all

Softly the leaves of memory fall
Gently we gather and treasure them all
A thought, a prayer are all we can give
These you will have as long as we live

mothers day

Happy Mother's Day In Heaven

How I'd love to touch your face
And talk with you once more
To hear your voice and see your smile
Watch you walk through my door.

What a joy it would be
To have you hold me close
And tell me that you love me
That's what I miss the most.



The little things that we would do
So close we were back then
It doesn't seem that long ago
You were my very best friend.

God has made a place for you
At His home in Heaven above
But you are always in my heart
And have my undivided love.



Oh Mum, how I love you
Miss you more and more each day
Please save a place up there for me
I'll be with you soon one day.

Dad ......

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

Somewhere in my heart,
Beneath all of this pain,
Is a smile I still wear...
At the sound of your name.

The precious word is "MOTHER"
She was my world, you see,
But now my heart is breaking,
She's no longer here with me.

God chose her for His angel
To watch me from above,
To guide me and advise me
And know that I'm still loved.

The day she had to leave me,
Her life on earth was through,
But God had better plans for her
For this, I surely knew.

When I think of her kind heart
And all those loving years,
Because we're only human,
They're bound to bring us tears.

She truly was my best friend,
Someone I could confide in,
She always had a tender touch,
A soft and gentle grin.

I want to thank you Mother
For teaching me so well,
Even though the time has come,
That I must bid you farewell.

I'll remember all you've taught me
To put God above all others...
For I had no better teacher,
Than you...My Dear Mother.

Even though you've left this earth
And had to take your flight,
I know that you are here with me,
Each morning, noon and night

No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,
But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so, mum and dad
And I always will.
