From your Daughter

Firstly I cannot believe the tribute underneath. That poem was a poem I was given by Tress Connor, a medium who helped me get over losing you. I have it framed next to your pictures in my house xx

What to say, what to say. You already know it all. You will have seen me cry this morning; you will have seen every tear everyone’s shed. And even though it’s almost 5 years on, the tears still come but the smiles come more.

You was my best friend, my Mum, my sister, my life, and for sometime after you went, I thought I was gonna go the same way, but I stayed here, Stayed strong and took on your role. Now I’m a Mother & Grandmother at 26!! Think your clever doing that to me do ya?? Ha... ;)

I’m not bringing you flowers Mum, because as you know, I haven’t been to your grave for a long-time, and that’s because I don’t feel the need too. Your not there, you’re with me everywhere I go you see and hear everything I say & do so I don’t need to come to a cemetery to tell you what I think. You know we love you, you know we miss you, and you know we're all doing ok...

You & Pat get to the queens in the sky, & we'll be in the real one tonight, having a fair few brandies in your honour...

I love you Mum... Happy Birthday (I wont tell anyone your 45 hahahaha) and see you one day Big kisses to you & everyone with you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

letter from heaven

To my dearest family something I like to say but first of all to let you know I
arrived safely, OK, I'm writing this from heaven, here I 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, remeber that I am with you every
morning noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life was
through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said 'I welcome you, its
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 needed you here badly,
you're part of my plan, there's so much 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 that days
chores put to flight, God and I are close to you, in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because
we're only human, they're 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. I 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 over. 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. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it
for you too that as you give unto the world, the world gives unto you. If you can
help somebody who's in sorrow and pain. Then you can say to God at night,
my day was not in vain. Now I'm contented that my life was worthwhile,
so if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low just lend a hand to pick
them up and on your way you go. 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. When its time for you to go, from the body to be free.
Remember you're not going..... you're coming here to me.
