Hi Dad,

I saw you clear as day , I could almost reach out and touch you. Don't worry about a thing. Mum had her 74th Birthday on Friday, she had a nice afternoon out , followed by a chinese dinner and a cake from Jan . She had plenty of cards to make her day a special one. She is settled in the new bungalow and I live so close I can see her back garden through my window! Love and miss you so much. Give our Mark a hug for me. xxx Sue

Christmas wishes

To my lovely Dad,
In memory of all the wonderful Christmas times we had , you always loved it and insisted on having 'a do' Hope you like your little tree. The candle was from our Church. Your new baby grandson is overdue, we thought he would be here in time for Christmas day but looks like he is being a bit stubborn. Georgia and Sam got so much stuff, they could open a shop, they were so excited. Georgia was up at 1am and 5am but sam had to be woken up at 7 ! (likes his sleep).
Have a good party up there Dad. Love you loads. xxx Sue and Ian

letter from heaven

To my dearest family – some things I’d like to say,
But first of all to let you know that I’ve arrived ok,
I’m writing this from heaven; here I dwell with God above,
There are no more tears of sadness – just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight,
Remember that I am with you – morning, noon and night.

The day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up, hugged me and said – “I welcome you.
It’s good to have you back again – you were missed while you were gone,
As for your family – they’ll be here later on.
I need you here badly – you are part of my plan,
There’s so much we have to do to help our mortal man.”

God gave me a list of things that he wanted me to do,
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you.
When you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight,
God and I are close to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those missing years,
Because you are only human they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry – it does relieve the pain,
Remember there would be no flowers unless there was the rain.

I wish I could tell, all that God had planned,
If I were to tell you – you wouldn’t understand.
But one thing is for certain though my life on earth is o’er,
I’m closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead and many hills to climb,
But together we can do it taking it one day at a time.

It was always your philosophy and I would like it too,
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow or in pain,
Then you can say to God at night – my day was not in vain.
So if you meet somebody who’s sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick them up as on your way you go.

When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind,
And when it’s time for you to go from that body to be free,
Remember you’re not going – but coming home to me!

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I did when my nan passed in July. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
