MOM - IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME
AND ONCE MORE HEAR YOUR VOICE
I'D TELL YOU OUT OF ALL THE MOM'S
YOU'D STILL BE MY NO. 1 CHOICE
My Mom Maureen was a remarkable woman. She didnt lead an extra ordinary life, but she was an extra
ordinary person. She excelled in the way she made others feel - happy and secure. That is why she
had so many friends. And she was certainly the best friend I ever had. When she died I was acutely
aware that nobody else would ever love me as much as she did. Being an only child - she was much
more to me, than a mother - she was my everything rolled into one. My mentor. She was a very shy
person in some ways - lacking in confidence and independence. She never knew how truly talented or
beautiful she was and that was her strength. She also had the ability to teach me the qualities she
longed to have herself - which is a mark of a very clever person. She developed Cancer the week I
found out I was expecting my first baby. I am sure she stayed alive as long as she did, so she
could see Bethany born - and she died a few weeks later. But during that time and throughout my
pregnancy she was a mother to the end - protecting me from the trauma's of her illness. As sad as
those ten months were, they were also deeply special. I've felt bereft of her company in the many
years since her death in 1992, when she was just 55. Missed the adult relationship you have with
your parent when you become a parent yourself. Missed what Bethany and my subsequent children
should have shared with such a special woman. But since her death, I've also become privy to a
deeper understanding of my mother - as a woman. Which often you cant do when your parent is alive.
But even so - I would give all I own, for one day with her. To share my children with her, to
discuss all that has happened to me over the years since her death. I've had other trauma's to cope
with, which I've dealt with - mainly thanks to the courage she instilled in me during my brief 25
years with her. I hope she would be proud of me. Because my proudest feeling is when people
compare me to her. I look in the mirror and see her features and mannerisms. I see her in my
children. She will never be truly gone. Not in my heart - not in my soul. Not ever. The cord
will never be broken.
I love and miss you Mom.
Thanks for everything
Your devoted daughter

I KNOW YOUR NOT IN PAIN NO MORE
SITTING HIGH UP ON YOUR CLOUD
I'M GOING TO DO ALL I CAN TO MAKE YOU
VERY PROUD
I'LL NEVER STOP MY GRIEVING
SO I WONT EVEN TRY AND PRETEND
BUT FOR NOW THIS IS GOODBYE
TO MY MOM, MY HERO AND MY FRIEND
♥ღ♥ I lit a candle tonight, in honor of you
Remembering your life, and all the times we'd been through.
Such a small little light the candle made
Until I realized how much in darkness it lit the way.
All the tears I've cried in all my grief and pain
What a garden they grew, watered with human rain.
I sometimes can't see beyond the moment, in hopeless despair.
But then your memory sustains me, in heartaches repair.
I can wait for the tomorrow, when my sorrows ease
Until then I'll light this candle, and let my memories run free. ♥ღ♥

Missing you Mom
A white butterfly has been following me around for days now. A friend said it is the spirit of a loved one. I hope it is you, Mom. I miss you more with each passing Year, and vividly remember this date back in 1992 when you left home for the last time - to go to the Hospital where you died some weeks later. I often wonder if you knew you wouldnt come back home again - or were too ill to realise. You loved your home and I always loved coming home to see you there. And you were always there - a constant and reliable source of friendship, support and love. But a home is just that - bricks and mortar. It is the people who make it special and you were undoubtedly that in every way. I still learn at your knee - years after your death, with the wisdom you taught me in the living years. Both in your success' and your mistakes. No of us are perfect, but you were the perfect mother for me. Look down on me and carry on, with the friendship, love and support. Death has not separated us, our relationship continues. Rest easy -your an Angel now, or a white butterfly xxxx Sweet dreams Morag
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE
Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
Gone is the face we loved so dear
Silent is the voice we loved to hear.
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for love to reach,
Sweet to remember them once here,
Who, though absent, is just as dear.
In all the world we shall not find
A heart so wonderfully kind,
So soft a voice, so sweet a smile,
Inspiration worthwhile;
A sympathy so sure, so deep
A love so beautiful to keep.

X ALL MY LOVE TO YOU X
When troubles come your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by
Perhaps there's nothing she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you
For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone
Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lifts the heavy load
But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours
It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing she can do
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by
~~GOD BLESS YOU LOVE FROM CHER XX~~

Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone,
and know one knows the heartache
as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow,
what it meant to loose you
no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you
your place no one can fill,
in life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache
and often a silent tear,
but always a precious memory
of the days when you were here.

~~SOMEONE WHO CARES~~
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you are feeling blue
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I am finding
Are impossible for me
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there
SENDING YOU ALL MY LOVE AWAYS CHER XX

Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet
Some are really brilliant
Full of light sharp and clear
While others are more subdued
To both you can adhere
You are a flower in my garden
That makes up my bouquet
My friends you all make
A very impressive display

WHY GOD GAVE US FRIENDS
GOD knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near.
He knew they need someone kind
To lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand.
GOD knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
To be a source of courage
When troubles come our way.
Someone to be true to us,
Whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
Hold and treasure in our hearts.
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends!
