What CAN you say about your Mum? She was THE BEST Mum in the world, and she is loved and missed very much. She had a Wicked sense of humour, and brought us all up on mad Dover sayings. Like, if we asked, 'What's for dinner mum?' The reply was 'Pump Handles Stewed' or even 'Pigs' Ears in Custard.' But for all the kidding, she was a smashing cook. And if we asked 'Where you going Mum?' she said 'There and back to see how far it is'.
Mum died just a week after her 77th birthday, and the day before mine. She was diagnosed with cancer in 1994, and went through surgery in 1995, but she never really recovered from it. I moved in with her, and stayed for about a year looking after her, but the cancer returned and she was admitted to Law Hospital, where she died, just 2 days after Christmas 1996. During her illness, she put up a brave front, but knew she was leaving us. She hated the hospital, it was her first time in one since 1946 when she had my brother in Motherwell Maternity!
We all love and miss her very much, she was one Amazing Lady, My Duchess.
Mum & dad met and married in Dover, where Mum was born, and dad was stationed at Dover Castle with The Black Watch at the beginning of WW2. My brother John was born in the same house as mum in Douglas Road, Dover,
They moved to Wishaw after the war, and set up home in a wee prefab in Wishaw. My brother Joc was born in M'Well Mat, my sister Ellen and myself were born in the back room of the prefab. Mum broke her heart when the prefabs were demolished and she had to move to another house, she had tended that wee house for 24 years, loved it and didn't want to leave it. 2 years after moving, our dad died. He had taken several strokes, and was bed bound. Mum nursed him day and night until he was taken into Law Hospital where he died in July 1972.
Mum volunteered to work in the local Oxfam shop, where she made many friends, and was a well liked and sociable person. She was also a regular at Mecca Bingo, where she joined up with her friends for a right good blether, and a few more rows of her knitting. Mum was a prolific knitter, she churned out garment after garment, hardly glancing at the pattern.
Despite her own problems, Mum was always there for us, she was a loving, caring and dedicated mum, and we all loved her. She taught me, by example, how to be a good mam to my sons, and she loved all of her grandchildren equally. Mum went to visit my brother in Hereford every June, and my sister in London every August, they all looked forward to the holidays with her. She was very good to my sons, Chris & Ziggy, who are also in Heaven with her. 13 months after mum passed away, my youngest son Ziggy died. Then in April 08, my son Chris was taken from us too, he was murdered. My Mum would have strung the rats up by their ears for that, she would not let the wind blow on any of her Weans.
There is nothing and no-one who can ever make up for either one of them, but I know they are all together now. They are all loved and missed so very much, not one day has gone by without a thought of love for them. Not one day ever will.
Along the Road of Suffering
You Found a Little Lane
That Took You up to Heaven
And Ended All Your Pain
You May be Out of Sight
We May be Worlds Apart
But You are Always in our Prayers
And Forever in our Hearts
Rest in Eternal Peace Mum xxx
MERRY CHRISTMAS

☆ At Christmas Time ☆
Remember they are still with us,
We see their faces every day,
When we raise our Christmas glasses,
They are not too far away.
Though they're not here in body,
Their spirit is still here,
And as long as we remember this,
They always will be near.

Seeing an angel always reminds me
That although you aren't here
You're being embraced by angels
So there is not a thing to fear
And someday I shall see you again
With a smile upon your face
Because this is what God has promised
Once I leave this earthly place
� Theresa K. Hardy
♥ღ♥ THE SADDEST THING ♥ღ♥
And the saddest thing
Under the sun above
Is to say goodbye
To the ones you love.
♥ღ♥
All the things
That I have known
Became my life
My very own.
But before you know
You say goodbye
All the time goodbye
It's time to cry
But I will not weep
Nor make a scene
Just say “thank you life,
For having been”.
♥ღ♥
And the hardest thing
Under the sun above
Is to say goodbye
To the ones you love.
♥ღ♥
No, I will not weep
Nor make a scene
But say “thank you life
For having been”.
♥ღ♥
And the loudest cry
Under the sun above
Is a silent goodbye
From the ones you love.
♥ღ♥ Written and sung by Melanie Safka ♥ღ♥
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
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,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
And when I though of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
But when I walked through heaven’s
gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I’ve promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
and share my life with me?
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽

Mothers
â’¸ Ralph F. Kirst
Mothers come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are young, some are old.
Some have gray hair, some have gold.
Yet, their hearts beat as one.
No challenge so great, for this giant among women,
Yet, she is only five feet tall.
Her love is woven into the fabric of life.
She fills many roles - doctor, nurse, lawyer,
judge and jury, chef, housekeeper and wife.
Her prayers are continually before the Lord,
Seeking His wisdom for her family.
She went home yesterday, to be with Jesus.
In my heart lives the love of my mother.

Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,
and sweetest in the gale is heard…
