♥`*•.¸`*•.¸♥ MUM MY BEST FRIEND ♥¸.•*¸.•*´♥
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, and I hope they are all
together now. (See also GTS sites for Chris Rooney & Ziggy McAllister). 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.
R.I.P. Mum, Dad, Ziggy, Chris, Nathan. XXX
ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

♥ღ♥ When I Must Leave When I must leave you for a little
while -- please do not grieve and
shed wild tears and hug your sorrow
to you through the years, But start
out bravely with a gallant smile:
And for my sake and in my name live
on and do all things the same, Feed
not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful
ways, Reach out your hand in comfort
and in cheer and I in turn will com-
fort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky ♥ღ♥ xxx
I still cry
A beautiful song by Ilse De Lange...
I`m making flowers out of paper
While darkness takes the afternoon
I know that they won`t last forever
But real ones fade away too soon.
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you`re alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry.
It`s just that I recall September
It`s just that I still hear your song
It`s just I can`t seem to remember
Forever more those days are gone.
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you`re alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry.
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you`re alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry.
~All my love to you and your angel~ xxx
Life's Tug of War
Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind...
Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free...
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see ...
Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet...
Life can make good ~ of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin...
Life can reward those ~ determined to win...
Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair...
Life can surround you ~ with people who care ...
Life clearly does offer ~ its Up and its Downs...
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad...
SO...
Take the Life that you have ~ and give it your best...
Think positive be happy ~ let God do the rest...
Take the challenges that life ~ has laid at your feet...
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet...
To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall...
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all...
Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care...
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there...
Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see...
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free...
The idea here is simply ~ to even the score
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug of War.
Thank you to everyone, whether you have left one candle or a thousand, each one is so special and I am continually amazed by the kindness and support I feel here on GTS.
Sorry that I don't get on here as much as I'd like to, I have a lot going on, but you are all always in my thoughts. I hope you like this latest verse that I leave with love. Hugs, Mel. xxx
CHER (ROBERT N PAULINE MCGREGORS AUGHTER)
THINKING OF YOU EVERY DAY X
often lie awake at night,
when others are asleep.
I take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
No one knows the heartache,
I try so hard to hide.
Some people say as time goes by,
the heartache will subside.
But the feelings in my heart today,
are the same as the day you died.
It broke my heart to lose you,
your parting caused such pain.
But the greatest day has yet to come,
when we will meet again.
ALL MY LOVE FROM CHER X
Hugs from Heaven....
Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MEMORIES OF YOU
Memories of you...
Will stay in my heart forever,
Memories of you...
I will always treasure.
Memories of you...
make me feel warm inside,
Memories of you...
are the love I cannot hide.
Memories of you...
help me through the day,
Memories of you...
will never fade away.
Memories of you...
are beautiful and dear,
They seem to grow still brighter
with every passing year.

A GUARDIAN ANGEL
Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above.
Love Always Elaine xxxxx
