Our Lovely Mom..
We All miss you so much.,you were the back bone of the family mum..you worked so hard to give us a roof over our heads food in our mouths clothes on our backs..it broke all our hearts when you passed mom..a few months before you were diagnosed with terminal cancer you asked us your four girls to read a poem you liked..you said in case anything ever happend to you..i remember saying don,t be silly mom your live until your in your 90,s..mom i feel you knew all was not right..,.a few months later you were told you had terminal cancer and underwent all that chemo & radiotherapy, which we felt made you worse not better, you spent most of the time you had left in and out of hospital, they said you had around 18mths left if the treatment worked well but died within 12mths..the wonderful work that the macmillan nurses did for you & support they offerd can never be faulted.they were truly angels on earth without wings..until the time you were bed-ridden it was so hard to see our beautiful inderpendant mom paralized & stuck in bed, we tried our hardest & we took it in turns to feed you, & change you, and give you as much love & support as we could muster, but then you got to a point where you could no longer speak to us, we were all around your bed-side at home..and played a song that you and dad loved..nat-king-cole..unforgettble..then you peacefully went in and out of consciousness..till you took your last breath on 15/08/2000....this is the poem you made us all read and told us to never forget that you will always around us & i often feel your presence mom:...


Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way you always used

Put no difference into your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

Laugh as we always laughed

At the little jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

Without the ghost of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost

One brief moment and all will be as it was before

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!


we will never forget you our beautiful mom....your always in our hearts & thoughts,

from your loving daughter's & family

Love is an eternal light.
Infinite.
The thread that binds every beautiful memory

All finite things reveal infinitude:
The mountain with its singular bright shade
Like the blue shine on freshly frozen snow,
The after-light upon ice-burdened pines;
Odor of basswood upon a mountain slope,
A scene beloved of bees;
Silence of water above a sunken tree:
The pure serene of memory of one man,--
A ripple widening from a single stone
Winding around the waters of the world…ღ♥ღ

Yea, I am one with all I see,
With wind and wave, with pine and palm;
Their very elements in me
Are fused to make me what I am.
Through me their common life-stream flows,
And when I yield this human breath,
In leaf and blossom, bud and rose,
Live on I will...
There is no Death.

~ Robert Service

✶ The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls ✶

The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveler to the shore.
And the tide rises, the tide falls

~ Henry W. Longfellow

A CROWN OF SORROW

A SORROW, wet with early tears
Yet bitter, had been long with me;
I wearied of this weight of years,
And would be free.
..ღ..
I tore my Sorrow from my heart,
I cast it far away in scorn;
Right joyful that we two could part—
Yet most forlorn.
..ღ..
I sought, (to take my Sorrow's place,)
Over the world for flower or gem—
But she had had an ancient grace
Unknown to them.
..ღ..
I took once more with strange delight
My slighted Sorrow; proudly now,
I wear it, set with stars of light,
Upon my brow.

(~Adelaide Anne Procter~)

Happy Birthday. xxx

Birthdays Do Not End With Death

Birthdays do not end with death,
But last as long as love,
A maelstrom of memories
That grace and honor move.

And so we celebrate your day
By visiting your grave,
A place that you have left long since,
But is all that we have.

Dear spirit, come and join us here,
Your loved ones by your stone!
Come sweep across the barrier
To claim us as your own!

Happy birthday, dearest one!
Oh, happy, happy day!
Not even the most bitter night
Can take this joy away!

Today Is My Birthday

Today is my birthday
Celebrate my life with you
And remember the good times
Forget the bad.
Look up towards the sun
And catch every ray of light
Upon your cheek.
For I am there with you.

Today is my birthday,
Be happy for me.
My life was full.
I had the pleasure of love
And the joy of my family.
Do not be sad
Look up towards the stars
And catch each twinkle
In your heart.
For I am there with you

Today is my birthday
My legacy is not wealth
Or mighty belongings,
My legacy is you and your life.
Spend it wisely and carefully,
Guard it always.
Do not be sad.
Feel the wind on your face
And in your hair
And know that I loved you
For I am there with you in your laughter
And in your hearts.

Today is my birthday,
Learn to live again without me.
Take my strength with you
For you are not alone.
Do not be sad
Feel the rain on your face
Feel all life's treasures and
Know that you are alive!
At each step of the way
I will help you
For I am with you always
Until we meet again.
Today is my birthday...

❦ After Great Pain, a Formal Feeling Comes ❦

After great pain, a formal feeling comes—
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs—
The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore,
And Yesterday, or Centuries before?
✰...✰
The Feet, mechanical, go round—
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought—
A Wooden way
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone—
✰...✰
This is the Hour of Lead—
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow—
First—Chill—then Stupor—then the letting go—

(Emily Dickinson)

~ Bilbo's Song in Rivendel ~
(The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien)

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
…✿ ✿ ✿…
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
…✿ ✿ ✿…
I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see.
…✿ ✿ ✿…
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.
…✿ ✿ ✿…
I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.
…✿ ✿ ✿…
But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

♥ I Miss You ♥

Another year without you
Tears flow – within this broken heart of mine
I am never complete
A shadow of my former self
You went to the Garden of Paradise this day, that year
I should be happy for you, but I wish you were here so much
And all I can do is cry.
