This to remember my beautiful special nan, She was a great wife, mum, nan and great-grandparent, she died way to soon . I lived with my nan and grandad for a few years and loved it she spoilt me rotten with love. She was always the life and soul of the party and would always be the first one up dancing, i can still see her dancing and it brings a smile to my face. She always had a smile on her face, even in her last few days she was upset but she still kept smiling, She had the most lovely contagious laugh you could have. I only ever see my nan upset once and it still breaks my heart the last time i saw her she cried on me it broke my heart. She loved her garden especially her roses and her gnomes. She loved collecting her teapots, ive got some i will treasure forever. She always said we would open our own sandwich bar one day as she used to make me my lunch for school every day, i remember one day she sent me to school with banana sandwiches and i brought them home as they were black by lunch time and she laughed and if i ever get the chance to open a sandwhich bar il name it after my special nan. I remember she used to tuck me into bed every night with a hot water bottle and used to make the best hot chocolate ive ever tasted in my special cup, ive still got that cup. She also used to make the BEST roast potatoes ive ever tasted, i dont know how she done them and ive never worked it out yet! She also used to bake me bread pudding i loved that as a kid, im not so over keen on it in the shops now so i dont know what she put in it but it was delicious!! She was the best nan anyone could ask for and my thoughts are with her every day. My kids would have loved her as much as i do. I know shes watching over me and looking after me. Nan you did not say you were going, and i didnt get chance to say goodbye but you did not go alone cuz a part of me left with you....I love you nan and think about you every day, missing you loads loving you forever xx
My Nan
when i was young she was always close by,
if i asked questions she would explain why.
she tried to teach me the things that were right ,
she kissed me gently, tucked me in at night.
as the years went by she was still always there,
the look of disgrace when i cut my hair.
the look of happiness when i did well at school,
the sound of her laughter when i acted the fool.
even when i grew up she was like a best friend,
she was always there for me, right till the end.
she was all we could ask for, the best nan ever,
i will never forget you, i promise, no never!
she was a wife, a mother, a friend,
she was my nan until the end.
she was the the one to which i cried my tears,
she was always there for me throughout the years
........................................................................................
A nan, a mother, a wife and great grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a nan not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep
.......................................................................................
God looked around his garden and found empty space
then he looked down upon the earth and saw my nans tired face
he put his arms around her and lifed her to rest
gods garden must be beautiful he only takes the best
Nan....... a beautiful spirit... now with wings to enjoy peace and freedom.. forever.

Every cell in my body witnessed you
saying goodbye
That final touch…
That final smile…
That final thought that spoke a
million lines…
Lines of language without sound,
A language so much deeper than
the mind!
You were there, to wipe my tears, to hold
my hand, to calm my fears…
Through your eyes you showed me Love,
Love much deeper than the human heart,
From the heavens up above, like an
Angel’s touch,
from dimensions unrealized…
You followed the light,
You spread your wings without fear,
without grief,
and reached for the stars…your journey to
the Eternal Self!
You always said: “Life is but a chase
of wind,
Be free from self-importance and
self-esteem, experience the truth in
every dream”
The chase is over,
As peace abide,
Remember me…
And as you whisper through the wind
I’ll hear your voice in every dream!

♥ Still I Cry ♥ Author Unknown ♥
I still hear your voice...
It echoes the canyons....
It whistles over the treetops,
and dances with the wind.
It moves in harmony with the clouds
skating the sleet blue sky...
Still I cry.
It chases the waters...
In oceans of green ... and owns the majesty
in the sound of rain.
It catches the snow
and the leaves in fall...
It claims a path,
down my beating heart.
It's a whisper on my shoulder
and a promise unspoken...
It unfolds my day
like petals of a rose...
It lingers by, Still I Cry...

A NEW STAR
(Author Unknown)
I see a brighter star tonight
As I look at the sky;
It glistens in a teardrop
As it drifts upon a sigh.
A little light all filled with soul,
A speck so like the rest;
But to me it's brighter than the moon,
Above all, it's the best.
A part of earth for just awhile.
The heavens are its home;
Here it was confined as life,
There it's free to roam.
A little gem to crown the sky,
A jewel for all to see;
Its sparkle is for all mankind,
Its memory, just for me.

ONENESS
The moment I die,
I will try to come back to you
as quickly as possible.
I promise it will not take long.
Isn't it true
I am already with you,
As I die each moment
I come back to you in every moment.
Just look,
Feel my presence.
If you want to cry,
Please cry.
And know that I will cry with you.
The tears you shed
Will heal us both.
Your tears are mine.
The earth I tread this morning
Transcends history.
Spring and Winter are both present in the moment.
The young leaf and the dead leaf are really one.
My feet touch deathlessness,
And my feet are yours. Walk with me now.
Let us enter the dimension of oneness
And see the cherry tree blossom in Winter.
Why should we talk about death
I don't need to die
To be back with you.
Written by Thich Nhat Hanh

A Peek Into Heaven
Copyright 2006 Callie Sanders Thornton
Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I'm asking for today.
I just want to know how she's doing,
And heaven seems so far away.
Is she playing on the clouds with angels?
Is she laughing and running today?
Does she miss me?
I guess only she knows.
Oh why does heaven seem so far away?
If you just let me look for a moment,
To catch a glimpse of her sweet smiling face,
I promise I won't try to take her,
I know, she's in a better place.
Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I'm asking for today.
I just want to know how she's doing,
And heaven seems so far away...

♥ It May Be The Last ♥
It may be the last
time spent with you
is like sand in the hour glass
slowly fading away
every minute I touch your face,
every second I hear you laugh
it echoes in my mind, it may be the last
every time you make me smile,
I lock it deeply into my soul
every night I wish upon a star
hoping you’re wishing on mine
for I fear our star is fading,
I am afraid to blink for one minute
fearing you will disappear
I'm afraid to release you from my mind,
it is the reminder of you I have left
If the only way I could be with you forever
is in my dreams,
then I will sleep for eternity
my heart clings to you, not yet realizing,
you're already gone.

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

♥ Peace My Heart ♥
♥ Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
♥ Let it not be a death but completeness.
♥ Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
♥ Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
♥ Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
♥ Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
♥ I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.
♥ Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and philosopher ♥

~ Snow ~
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The snow arrived unannounced.
It overwhelmed everything.
Changed the landscape so it was unrecognisable.
No one was prepared.
My grief feels like that snowstorm.
I feel changed, weighed down by the burden.
Trying to negotiate the new environment around me.
Not knowing where I am going.
Looking for familiar landmarks.
I feel cold and miserable and ill equipped in this new place unvisited before.
But I know in time the snow will melt and return the landscape to some semblance of normality.
And I know in time my grief will diminish and I will find my way forward again, back to a world that I recognise, changed, but familiar.
Spring does always come after winter and hope will return.

Magic Of A Rainbow
I'll never see a rainbow
That I won't think of you;
Though days seem bleak and dreary
The sun is shining through.
A symbol of God's love fulfilled
In beauty, hope and grace;
A rainbow is a mirror
Reflecting His own face.
It arches o'er the mountains
With Heaven its domain;
Its brilliant colors wakened by
The grayness and the rain.
Now may I see the rainbows sent
To ease my broken heart,
Promising His healing love,
Shine through when teardrops start.
Miraculous, magical rainbows,
Blessing the sadness with peace;
God gently smiling and touching,
Bidding the sadness cease.
