REST IN PEACE NOW MUM xxxx

Oh, so lovely to see the love & heartache that your poem was drawn from. Memories, what an absolute god send to have in our life. We draw from it for ever till it is our time to go. It gives us tears, warm hugs & know we have loved. May your heart find some consolation in the days, weeks, months & years to come Oddbillie

I'm sorry to hear of your sad loss. It's a very distressing time for you, but you will get strength to go through it. It always comes from somewhere. I hope all the words of sympathy you receive from your friends here will be a comfort to you.

sorry to hear your sad loss your poem reminds me of a letter i sent
just a few weeks before my mum died (years ago now)

Dear Mum,
I love you , and will always treasure every memory of
my younger years with you.
You taught me the right values in life and these have given me
happiness which lasts forever.
When you go to heaven you can look down on your children
and your childrens children
and forever you can proudly say
"I did that"
My achievements are as much yours as they are mine, as I often
say to myself Mum would be proud of me.
Both you and dad were the best parents any child could have.
I only wish that I could have told dad how much I loved him,
perhaps one day you could help me.
Your loving son .

so i guess your mum will be telling your dad all about you
over a brandy

So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
What your poem says is so true and it will help you through I'm sure.

So very sorry to hear of your sad loss.

So sorry to hear of your sad loss. My mother died in hospital and was not well looked after while there, this makes it harder to bear but in time the good memories come to the fore. What sustained me was knowing nothing more could hurt her.

OB I'm so sorry to hear of your loss my thoughts are with you, at this trying time, loved your poem it fetched a tear to my eyes aswell.Remember all of us are with you.

I had wondered where you were, OB. So sorry to hear of your mother's death - I believe there are a couple of very proud parents watching, together, over you now and saying, as they sip their brandy 'Did a good job there, didn't we? God bless, will be thinking of you.

I am so sorry to hear of your sad loss , it brought back memories of my own precious mum and dad.my prayers are with you .xx

Thinking of you OB, So Sad to loose your Mum, Hugs for you ..

I too wondered where you were OB...sorry to hear of your sad loss, and all the difficulties your Mum experienced. I too have "been there, done that"....Our NHS leaves a lot to be desired, and needs a major over haul. Take care and hope you'll be back here regularly soon . x x

Thinking of you at this sad time. At least your Mum is able to stop fighting now and enjoy her brandy.

Thinking of you too oddbillie....the loss of a Mother always seems to be the hardest cut....lovely to see your memories in moving verse..............

So sorry to hear of your loss...warm hugs...xx

My thoughts are with you at this sad time, I too have "been there" !
Your poem is lovely. God Bless .

Your poor Mother went through so much, too much to bare really, she is now at rest so remember the good times you all had together .All the best........

So sorry to hear of your loss....but think how she sighed with relief to see your Dad and with a Brandy in his hand!....Blessing to you!

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum - I lost mine 2 years ago and yes I miss her every day but do think of the good times it will help. xxx

oh dan im so sorry i was away when you posted this and i must not have caught up, im sorry your mum went through so much, my heart goes out to you and Ali and your family, lovely verse :o) xx

That's okay San. Hope you're well. How are things health wise? It's been a long winter for us but clearer now. Unfortunately, some of the plants I saved perished due to my head being elsewhere but the fuschia cutting you sent Ali is in fine fettle! She's so chuffed.

Will be checking out your blogs and pics over the coming days:0))

im doing ok thanx Dan and alot going on in my garden ready for summer, all will be revelled lol, glad the fuschia came tru for Ali, look forward to pics,lets hope this year is a good one all round :o)) love to Ali x

i too have only just found your blog,your mum went through an awful lot of pain and suffering OB your blog was so so sad and my heart went out to you and yours,i bet your mum loved your poem you can tell it came from the heart, we lost my mother in law 4th feb and i have planted 2 rose bushes on our allotment in memory of her & my father in law,..i dont know maybe an idea for you..:o)

Sorry to hear about mum-in-law Joanella.

Ironically, a few weeks ago we had already discussed having an archway in the garden with a climbing rose either side in memory of both our mothers as they both loved roses! We also want to do something with carnations for both fathers as they both loved that particular flower.

that would be a lovely tribute to your mums i think thats wonderful,for your fathers maybe a small bed of carnations or plant them round the climbing roses ..that would be nice if they were all together..:o))
