Wish we could be together

Thinking of you
Makes the miles disappear,
Together we're looking at bright decorations,
Enjoying what we like to do,
Thinking of you makes the miles disappear~
For you're missed very much
All year through…

So just because you're
Far away, don't think
For a moment that you're forgotten.
I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
And wishing you were here xxxxx

Ask my mum how she is ...
My Mum she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before,
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mum how she is,
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie,
Because she can't describe the pain.

Ask my Mum How she is,
She'll say 'I'm alright'
If that's the truth, then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well,
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

Ask my Mum how she is,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping'
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.

She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine,
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

I am here in Heaven,
I cannot hug from here,
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold,
I'll say 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!'

Darling Luke, you were here for such a short time but I know that you knew how much we all loved you. I was so lucky to have had a special moment alone with you, your little face crumpled in a cry, I stroked your chin and told you I loved you, you opened your eyes and stopped crying then settled back asleep. Just a little memory but one I will treasure through these dark and horrendous days, snuggle up on your cloud little one and blow us angel kisses, love you, Nana Linda. xx

This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________

I will light my candles as usual on Sunday



Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.


When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.


But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.


A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

From Mummy xx

Little Angel

I was given an angel to cherish and love,

So tiny, so perfect, a gift from above.

When I looked at his face it was calmness I found

And that peace seemed to spread to all when he was around.

His love touched my heart like fine threads of spun gold

And I thanked God for giving this angel to hold.

But I did not know then that time was my foe

And too soon, with a whisper, my angel would go.

My heart almost breaking, a touch soft as lace

Seemed to wipe at the hurt as it coursed down my face.

I still have my angel to cherish and love,

Those gold threads now shimmer from Heaven above.

And though I can't see him or cuddle him tight,

I won't say goodbye, Little Angel, goodnight x


To my beautiful baby boy, Luke,

The angels called you up so soon.

Daddy and I are heartbroken that you have been taken from us but we know that God only takes the very best.

From the moment you were born we couldn't believe how blessed we were, our beautiful baby boy, Luke Michael.

We love you so so much and are so very proud of you.

Sleep peacefully my little man.

Love you so much

Missing you at Christmas

Everybody's rushing round
Full of festive cheer
But I'm finding all I want to do
At Christmas, is come here.

To talk to you a little while
And light a candle or two
I can't buy you a present
So what else can I do?

Remember, Luke Michael, I love you
I'm still hurting with this pain
I don't think it will ever stop
Until I'm with you once again.
