Mum you looked so peaceful at the chapel of rest, and was still smiling when we came to see you.
You looked lovely in pink and white,
and your hair was perfect, just like always.
hope you liked everything we left there with you.
Rest In Peace Mum Love you forever
gone but never ever forgotten xxxx ♥
You were and always will be a very special person,
You were also my best friend mum.
you never smoked, always ate healthy, and was always swimming, or walking, and kept youself fit,
and still working as a swimming teacher,
they nicknamed you SUPERGRAN... :-) xxx
you even took your pool lifeguard exam, at the age of 62, and passed it as well.
you never gave up trying to achieve the things you wanted,
What you have achieved is amazing,
loads of swimming awards badges,certificates, and you must of swam thousands and thousands of miles over the years, you have probally swam round the world and back,
and the amount of people you have learnt to swim is uncountable.
you did not want to retire as you loved your job, teaching children and adults to swim,
and when you were not working
we walked lucky for miles, he slept for ages afterward lol, espically in the summer days, you even had one of them step counters which was always resetting itself as you never stopped walking, except when you were asleep.
we went out together loads either shopping, or we went for a meal, or for walks, or you went swimming or trainning.
we used to watch tv together,or listen to music or watch a dvd,only fools and horses, or carry on films or midsomer murder, you also loved anything with animals in and you loved dogs , you were always very active, you loved doing wordsearch books, and them Magic eye books where you stare at the picture and something would appear which i could never do lol.
I did offer to teach you to drive a while ago, but you said thanks but noooooo and was better as a passenger. xxx
Thats why none of this makes sense, you were so energetic, always ready to go somewhere, or do something and had loads to live for, so full of energy, and loved life and your family and friends.
How you became so poorly so quick
life just seems so cruel :-(
and very unfair.
I was always very protective of you
and still will be.
xxxxx♥xxxxxx
just wish i could of protected you from getting cancer, then you would of not caught septicemia (blood poisoning)
whilst in hospital.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
You have been married to dad for 40 years, and had 2 children me and are adey, and a grandson carlos xxxxx
you were and always will be a Special mum, special wife,special nana, special sister a special auntie a special cousin and a special sister in law,
and a very special friend also a special neighbour.
Marion also misses you loads and says you are a very special mother in law and a great friend.
(hope i,ve not missed anyone )
Hope You have met jack the dog we had when i was young R.I.P Jack Cook xxxx
You would always be there to help people out anyway you could, You would listen to peoples problems, and always understood,
and you never had a bad word to say about anybody, you always had a smile on your face, and you also loved animals, Every single one of us misses you so much,
all the family and all your friends, and lucky misses you loads as well.
Loads of people looked up to you mum you were a brilliant role model.
A very very special Mum and lady.xxxx
You raised us very well mum and that will stay with us forever, xxxxx

being to timelessness as it's to time ღ♥ღ
being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end:
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land
â¦
love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear:
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

☜♡☞ The Wings That Fly Us Home ☜♡☞
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
Is a hero’s blood more righteous than a hobo’s sip of wine
☀
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun
☀
I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow
I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower
I awoke with this: a flower in my hand
☀
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone
☀
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
It lives within a star too far to dream of
It lives within each part and is the whole
☀
It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home
Fly us home, fly us home.
~ Words by Joe Henry, music by John Denver

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

*✫* Christmas Secrets *✫*
Underneath a winter sky
a distant train sings out the miles.
So I imagine, it may be,
that every mile brings you to me.
A promise made may still come true,
so I am waiting here for you,
if you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
*☾*
Christmas bells ring out their chimes,
I hear them echo through the miles,
and moonlight shines upon the road
and trembles on the fallen snow
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew.
If you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
*☾*
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew.
If you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?

Love is not something that comes from another.
It is a state of being that comes from within.
The Love that is inside of you is without conditions or expectations.
It is not limited or restricted by time and space in any way.
Unlike physical Love this Love will never diminish or fade with time.
It is eternal and will not ever let you down.
I promise you that it will always be there to let the Light in
and guide you safely Home.
Love connects each of us to one another
and is the underlying energy behind all things.
Love literally is everything. ♥ڿڰۣಌ
~ Paul Adkins

⊠The Snow Flake âŠ
"Now, if I fall, will it be my lot
To be cast in some low and lonely spot
To melt, and to sink unseen or forgot?
And then will my course be ended?"
'Twas thus a feathery snow-flake said,
As down through the measureless space it strayed,
Or, as half by dalliance, half afraid,
It seemed in mid air suspended.
"Oh, no," said the earth, "thou shalt not lie,
Neglected and lone, on my lap to die,
Thou pure and delicate child of the sky;
For thou wilt be safe in my keeping;
But, then, I must give thee a lovelier form;
Thou'lt not be a part of the wintry storm,
But revive when the sunbeams are yellow and waffle
And the flowers from my bosom are peeping".
"And then thou shalt have thy choice to be
Restored in the lily that decks the lea,
In the jessamine bloom, the anemone,
Or aught of thy spotless whiteness;
To melt, and be cast in a glittering bead,
With the pearls that the night scatters over the moon
In the cup where the bee and the fire-fly feed,
Regaining thy dazzling brightness; - -"
"To wake, and be raised from thy transient sleep,
When Viola's mild blue eye shall weep,
In a tremulous tear, or a diamond leap
In a drop from the unlocked fountain;
Or, leaving the valley, the meadow and heath,
The streamlet, the flowers, and all beneath,
To go and be wove in the silvery wreath
Encircling the brow of the mountain."
"Or wouldst thou return to a home in the skies,
To shine in the iris I'll let thee arise,
And appear in the many and glorious dyes
A pencil of sunbeams is blending.
But true, fair thing, as my name is earth,
I'll give thee a new and vernal birth,
When thou shalt recover thy primal worth,
And never regret descending!"
"Then I will drop," said the trusting flake;
"But bear it in mind that the choice I make
Is not in the flowers nor the dew to awake,
Nor the mist that shall pass with the morning;
For, things of thyself; they expire with thee;
But those that are lent from on high, like me,
They rise, and will live, from thy dust set free,
To the regions above returning."
"And if true to thy word, and just thou art,
Like the spirit that dwells in the holiest heart,
Unsullied by thee, thou wilt let me depart,
And return to my native heaven;
For I would be placed in the beautiful bow,
From time to time, in thy sight to glow,
So thou may'st remember the flake of snow
By the promise that God hath given."
~ Hannah Gould (1787 – 1865) ~

Angel Mum xxx
Thinking of you My Angel Mum xxxx 11/12/2008 R.I.P
I miss you more with each passing day
I still can’t seem to stop my tears
It's been three years now, Mum,
since the day you went away;
Yet it seems like just last night,
I watched you fade away.
Mum, when you closed your eyes,
I knew my heart would break.
So many things we didn’t do
so many trips we didn’t take.
I miss all the things you did for me
the things we did together
all the things we should have done
but I thought we had forever
If only you could stay
And not go away so soon
For now I go on missing you
And wishing you where here
i miss you so much mum,
i will never stop missing you, love you so much mum xxxx
For Joan. xxx

♥ 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.
