So many Christmas memories of the biggest kid of them all. So loved, so missed xxx

Many treasured memories

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

In memory of my amazing Mum who I miss so very much. She loved Christmas, so I will make this time of year extra special for my daughters in her memory. I love you mum, miss you more each day x

Always on my mind, forever in my heart

There are no words to say how much I miss you, and especially at this time of year on our first Christmas without you. You always made Christmas so magical for us growing up and I’m trying to do the same for the girls, after all I was taught by the best, but without you every day is tinted with a little grey

Merry Christmas mum, I love you xxxx

Thoughts of a much loved husband and father.

REMEMBERED WITH LOVE NOT JUST AT CHRISTMAS BUT ALWAYS.

Christmas memories of a very special man. X

My father who art in heaven..
A prayer couldnt save you from what came,
Although now I whisper your name,
Every day and every night
It's a hug I need, and to hold you tight.
On Christmas day, I will set your place, and pour your drink, play your games, then shut my eyes to see your face.
Merry Xmas dad, your presence will always be felt. X

Love and miss you Dad. Our first Christmas without you. Love always xxx ❤️
