My mum was such a special person, my best friend. She didn't have a bad word to say about anyone, she loved her two grandchildren so much and also her wee dog that she doted on. There's not a day goes by that we don't think about her , she is missed so much. Taken from us too soon and very sudden.
She was diagnosed with a bowel tumour in July 2008 and went in for her op 22rd September 08. All went well with the surgery but she just didn't seem to be getting better, eventually 5 days later and constantly in a lot of pain they decided to operate again and discovered her bowel had been leaking into her stomach and there was massive infection which shouls have been picked up on a lot sooner. Less than 24 hrs later she was on life support as her organs were failing,and we were called in early hours of the morning to say our goodbyes,i'll never forget all the tubes and machines attached to her, i was sitting there watching my dear mother die that was so hard, something i'll never get over. I felt her hand getting colder , i just kept squeezing it willing her to get better hoping for a miracle that was never to come. I told her that i loved her so much and it was okay if she had to go , i dont know if she could hear me but im almost sure i seen a tear on her cheek. I hugged her for a while after, just holding her, letting go and leaving her in the hospital bed was the hardest thing i've ever had to do so far in this life. They put the cause of death as feacal perotonitis and septicemia. I feel that they really failed my mum she really did suffer and was in pain , the cancer had been completely contained and no other treatment was needed, i think this is what makes my mums death so hard to bear along with the grief. I just wanted to share a bit of my mums story with everyone.
Her final resting place is beside her Mum and dad as she was divorced from her husband, we also gave her her maiden name as we knew she would have loved that.
But I just want to say mum you were loved too much to ever be forgotten, always in my heart and thoughts mum. I'll never stop loving or needing you.Your my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night. Always.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
♥ If life was measured by the amount of love we give, you would have lived forever ♥
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I also want to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful people that take the time to light candles and leave messages, it means so much to me and my dear mum and has helped me through some dark days xxx

"To Where You Are"
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory, so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away not far
To where you are
Where do they go to?
Where do they go to, the people who leave?
Are they around us, in the cool evening breeze?
Do they still hear us, and watch us each day?
I'd like you to think of them with us that way.
Where do they go to, when no longer here?
I think that they stay with us, calming our fear
Loving us always, holding our hands
Walking beside us, on grass or on sand.
Where do they go to, well it's my belief
They watch us and help us to cope with our grief
They comfort and stay with us, through each of our days
Guiding us always through life's mortal maze.
If we could visit heaven
Even for a day
Maybe for a moment
The pain would go away
I'd put my arms around you
And whisper words so true
That living life without you
Is the hardest thing to do
No matter how we spend our days
No matter what we do
No morning dawns or evening falls
When we don't think of you.

Mum I wanted to call you today to say I love you, but your old number is no longer in service.
I tried the operator she said 'sorry I have no number for you'. I tried to go to your house, but you dont live there anymore. The post office has no forwarding address.
I guess heaven is just too far away? I Love You, I Miss You. You are in my heart always and forever.
♥ .•**•.. ♥♥ .•**•.. ♥
I look to the stars and sky in heaven on this day, which
would have been your birthday, and send love, hugs and kisses! Happy Birthday Mum......Missing you always!

Mother
A mother in a far off land
When all seemed dark and drear
A mother to her precious one
When no loved ones were near
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother when the daddy led
To lands we'd never seen
A mother when the frills were gone
And loneliness was keen
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother when the bug bites bled
When sickness did abound
A mother's touch was always near
Her hugs were all around
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother when the call was changed
From here, to there , to home
A mother's voice would say " Yes Yes"
No matter where we roamed
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother when uncertain winds
Blew hard both day and night
A mother's presence always there
To drive away the fright
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother for eternity
Who's pressing for the prize
A mother leading little me
To please the Saviour's eyes
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother who will one day stand
To hear her Saviour say
"Dear mother you have brought your one"
To join you on this day
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother faithful you have been
A crown you'll surely wear
Your mother's work you've done with joy
Your all now in my care
♥ ♥ ♥
A mother and her faithful man
Will take one precious hand
Home to never leave again
Forever on his land.
Looking forward to that time mum xx
Missing You
There's a fresh page on the calendar,
A start to a new year,
Twelve months to look forward to,
I just wish that you were here!
Miss you always xx
Christmas Without You
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time and over the year.
Although you can’t be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you,
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
Missing you mum , love you always xx

Just wanted to let you know that Sophie and Jamie had their birthdays ...but we all missed you and you were never far from our thoughts, there was an empty space there that couldn't be filled , can't wait until we are all together again.
Love and miss you always
