My Mum was a great lady with the most bluest sparkly eyes you ever saw. She was kind and generous and had time for everyone. She had nursed my Dad for 14 years after he had a stroke. Both their lives were to change for ever at that point.
Sadly Dad died of a heart attack in the March of 2002. Unbeknown to us Mum was already ill with cancer at the time. What she thought was a trapped nerve that had been irritating her for a long while was in fact lung cancer. An x ray showed nothing.
Shortly after Dad died she slipped whilst getting out of the bath. An x ray this time showed a mass on her lung. Tests followed in the next few days and a week later we saw the consultant. He told us it had spread to the liver and was terminal. I'll never forget the look on Mum's face as she asked "how long have I got"? Probably a few months at the most was the reply. Poor Mum was even denied that. Two weeks later she was dead.
I so wanted to spoil her, look after her and take her on holiday after all the years she had looked after Dad. I was "Daddy's little girl" when younger, but as I grew up and had a family of my own Mum and me had a special bond, more so after Dad died. She never judged my wrongdoings - and there were a few! She taught me so much. Often when I am showing my children something, I think "Mum taught me that." I am so glad that I can pass something on to my children from her.
Dear Mum. I want you to know I love you more than ever and miss you so much. I hope you are proud of me - Thanks for everything.
I'll always love you, your only daughter, Lesley
PS: Mum as I write this, your first great grandchild will soon be making her appearance. Hopefuly just a few hours to go now - A little girl, "Layla Louise" - still I guess you already know that. God bless Mum xx
Passers by, please take the time to light a candle for my wonderful Mum, and also my darling Dad, Jim, who worshipped us both - thank you x

I so wish I could come round with the usual bunch of flowers and box of choccies, suh a small token for all the love, and admiration I have for you.
Blessings Mum, until we meet again

Hello my wonderful Mum and my darling Dad!!
Just thought i'd pop by to say I miss you both as much as ever, and have needed you both so many times over the last few years. I so wish I was one of the lucky ones, who have their parents well into thier own old age! However, I know that i was lucky to have you as long as I did, - my own children did not even have their Dad for half as long!!! It has been so hard for us, but we have stuck together through thick and thin. So much has happened that you both, and my darling David did not live to see, and you would have been so proud - Alexandra a Midwife, and james a Soldier, and now you are great-grandparents!!!!
I just want to say thank you for alll you did for me,and I will cherish the memories for ever more!
Love and miss you both always,
Lesley xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Mothers day
Hello Mum on your special day. I still miss you as much asever. I wish I had said and done so much mre before it was too late. We were close i know, but I still feel I could have done more. So many people leave things unsaid and I so want them to understand - dont leave things until its too late, once that person is torn away for ever - you can never go back - not ever. My dearest Mum. thank you so much for all you did for me - for all you taught me. I am the person I am today because of you and Dad. I've turned out ok so you must have done good. God bless you and thank you - I hope heaven is better - until we meet again xxxxxx

Happy Mothers day Mum xxx I so wish I could see you, I still miss you as much as ever. I only wish I coud have said and done more for you. We were pretty close and yet I feel it was not enough. Thank you Mum for all you did for me. I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life. I so want to tell people to make the most of those special times, before that special person is torn away from them for ever. Until it happens they cannot possible begin to understand what it feels like. My darling Mum, I will never forget you - I pray heaven is better, x until we meet again xxxx
James
Hello Mum and Dad - I have just returned from your Grand sons passing out parade. Yes, he is now Private Gray, phase 1 basic training completed!
You both remember what a little tinker he was to put it mildly, well, you would be so proud of him now. Dad would have cried buckets. It was very emotional - lots of mixed feelings - if only my David was by my side sharing the moment. Mum and Dad thank you for being such good parents, so that I in turn could follow in your footsteps and bring my children up well too. I only wish you both had lived long enough to see your Grand daughter become a Midwife, and your Grand son a Soldier.
Watch over them for me from your special place above. Love to you both as always, your one and only daughter, Lesleyxxx
Hello Mum and Dad, well I am here by myself just going into the second anniversary without my David. I so wish you were here to help me through. You would have given me strength with your comforting words, a good strong cuppa and a special cuddle - even if I am 51! - It's amazing how quickly people forget too - yet once you have been touched by death, every day is crossed off - every special day or event is remembered. Alex is keeping me company tommorow. We will get through it together. Say hello to my special man when you see him and tell him how much I love and miss him. Just as I miss the both of you, the best parents a girl could have. Thank you for everything. Love you always, Lesley xxx
Hello my wonderful Mum and of course my darling Dad. Another year has come to an end. Another year without you both and my wonderful husband David. I hope you are all together up there somewhere raising a glass to us left behind. We are always talking about you, and that will never change. Thankyou for all you gave me, all you taught me, which made me the person I am today. I will always love you both, and keep you alive in the hearts of your grand children and your grand child. Watch over them for me, young Jimmy is now in the army and I know there will be some scary times ahead. God bless to you both. You loving daughter, Lesley xxxx
Hello Mum
I still miss you and Dad so much, especially when it gets so tough without David here. You would be so proud of your grand children - one a midwife, and one a soldier - and now you have a beautifil great grand daughter who is really growing up fast. Oh mum, I wish you could be here to share all of this with me.and Dad too. but at least you are together. I still wear your ring. Thank you for everything my wonderful parents. Love you always xxxxxxxxx
Happy Christmas Mum and Dad,
wish you were here to help me get through this first Christmas without Dave. Look after him for me. One day we'll all be together again.
Love you always. Lesley xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
This Tribute Is For Friday Got Busy Day Tomorrow
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
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.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
