Remembering Alan Smith 1956 - 2010

2010-11-13T14:01:00.000-08:00

Its been too long away from blog land and too long i feel i have deserted everyone whom i could in a small way support
and yet again the pain of loosing another loved one has hit home my wonderful brother in law Alan ages 54 diagnosed in March as terminal and through every thing he organised his own funeral the songs the prayers even chose his coffin and he did this with no fuss but with such dignity he was a lovely lad and he will and still is greatly loved and missed by his sister and brothers myself and his nephews and niece being divorced from the family i was unsure if i should go but me ex sister in law hugged me so hard all we could do was hold on so tight so in case the other would fall and even though i went through a harrowing divorce my ex hubbie held me closer than in all the years we had been married perhaps with time we all change and never realise we all can change death has a funny effect on everyone..anger..hurt..dispair..regret and just wishing with all our hearts we could turn back time but sadly we cant we just need to hold on to our memories and to embrace every new day tell our friends we love them and most of all those even closer to you at 54 was no age to suffer the way Alan did but he did it his way and for that Alan i salute you from the heart may angels be sitting at your side as i am sitting here thinking of you a special person in my life ....and if you see my Mum give her the biggest kiss from me as i miss her with all my heart....R.I.P xxxxx love you

Total shock in tears again

2010-01-16T14:59:00.000-08:00

Today ihad a delivery...ermm !!!!! not my birthday or anthing special..and it was fresh flowers ...then i read who they were from my eldest sister living in the Isle of Man...now we havent really got on like sisters ever ..even when we were young..and it was only when i read the letter she wanted to give to our Dad before he died my step mother thought it was a awful letter..and thrust it my way....it wasnt a rotton letter..it was her going back to our childhood and the memories of us as a family before we lost our Dad to my stepmother..and her family and as there wasnt anything about her or her family she felt snubbed...well sorry but she never ever accepted her we had good reason..i only tried toget on because i wanted my dad back in my life....but reading her letter it was her way of saying goodbye...shes not one for sentiment and as i read it i felt my heart melt as i didnt realise she cared about any part of our lives...but she did...she never attended my dads funeral.or our Mums.for her own reasons but it became apparant she had missed those years and some of the years that had passed after she left to live on the Isle of Man so i thought id make her a family heritage albulm filled with all the info on ancestors and the like and although it was hard completing it after our Mother died i just wanted to give her some childhood memeories back...i had loads of photos ....and some of the times she never got to know about the birthdays mum had... the holidays we shared i have so many wonderful memories of my Swettest Mum,,,,,and she had little and although it was a very sad time for me i found it a hard road to go down...but for her i managed it just before christmas and sent it to her along with moms locket.....my eldest siter has never shown emotion..but her call on Christmas morning well we were both in tears...she couldnt stop looking at the pages filled with all the photos and very sentimental stuff id gathered for her alot belonging to our Mum......and these stunning flowers were her way of thanking me for the treasured memories i gave her back.......people can change...and boy did i cry when i unwrapped these gorgeous roses......you wont ever read this sandra but i have never stopped loving you..........even through all the upsets your still my sister xx

13-12-08 13-12-09 My Angel a year has passed

2009-12-12T15:35:00.000-08:00

Just My words.......................

A rose petal will fall like these tears from my eyes
The pain in my heart no smile can ever disguise
I look at your picture , now blurred from my view
But My memory etched on my last day with you
***********
A snowdrop will bloom again in the spring
Along with daffodils and birds on the wing
They will flit and will flutter from budding new tree's
And time goes around with nature with ease
************
A new day will come and sun shine will break
But my heart all alone will continuesly ache
The love for My Mother so missed by us all
Will be always with me when Autum will fall

So just like that flower your eternal love will grow
So deep, buried with in me
But my tears forever will flow

A year has passed my sweetheart and i miss and long to hug you and hold you close and give a kiss to dad too

i remain your everloving daughter susan xxxxxxxxxxxxx R.I.P nite nite both of you xxx

My leap into the unknown ..Welcome

2009-11-19T09:13:00.000-08:00

This is my leap into the unknown...its a place to come each and everyone to share those times when lifes getting you down..to let go of emotions..to say what perhaps you cannot say else where to tell a loved one passed they are still in your heart and your thoughts The only thing i ask of you is to keep this for the intentions it has been created not to abuse it and defile it but to grow and love it with the love it has been created respect it please don't misuse it...let us grow together share are love share our emotions do and say what you feel and if lifes a bitch..then lets kick it we are only human and along many paths we travel in different directions yet we all still can learn from each other and remember your not alone.

Over the next few months there hopfully will be support if you need it taken from others

there will be poems times to reflect

happy memories you want to share

all ideas to make this a happy contented home

will be your home to come and leave your thought your prayers

or just have a tantrum

remember though to respect your voice as not to offend

remeber too we all need to be heard

we all are here but once

but you will not walk alone

love guide you

hugs sassyx

2009-11-15T14:21:00.000-08:00

Just found this how sad it is too learn of these much loved angels have to leave us
but you could do something for the family
I'm so sad to say that Design Team member Sarah Anderson’s 3 year old son Henry passed away on Monday, November 2nd. Little Henry was unable to overcome a virus that made him ill. Henry loved his local zoo and visited it almost every day in the summer. As a memorial, trees will be planted there in his honor. All proceeds from the sale of this digital stamp, minus Paypal fees, will go to the purchase of a memorial tree in honour of Henry. Thank you for your donation.

A note from Kim and David
Layton was always a happy lively character, always on the go. Every where he went and who ever he saw, he greeted them with a loud and clear "hiya" followed by such an infectious laugh.We lost our special little boy aged 16 months, on 27th October 2009, after a very short and unexpected fight to the horrific disease meningococcal septicaemia.Always in our hearts and thoughts baby dumpling. Gone but never forgotten. Love you always Mammy & Daddy XXX

RemembranceRemembrance is a golden chainDeath tries to break,but all in vain.To have, to love, and then to partIs the greatest sorrow of one's heart.The years may wipe out many thingsBut some they wipe out never.Like memories of those happy timesWhen we were all together.~ Author Unknown

Thoughts and Prayers for jaques Dad

I would like to thank everyone who has written of your concerns about my Dad. He is out of the hospital and back in the Life Care Center but is not doing well at all. He is very confused and has alot of difficulty with mobility...can't use a fork or spoon now and can't pick up a glass...So he is back in therapy to see if there will be any improvement. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts.

Just one Thing

Found this today and love it...
Inspirational quote

JUST ONE One song can spark a moment, One flower can wake the dream. One tree can start a forest, One bird can herald spring. One smile begins a friendship, One handclasp lifts a soul. One star can guide a ship at sea, One word can frame the goal One vote can change a nation, One sunbeam lights a room One candle wipes out darkness, One laugh will conquer gloom. One step must start each journey. One word must start each prayer. One hope will raise our spirits, One touch can show you care. One voice can speak with wisdom, One heart can know what's true, One life can make a difference, You see, it's up to you!

Never to old to My Dad 10.06.29 - 26th 06.08

2009-11-01T13:43:00.000-08:00

The computer swallowed Grandpa,Yes, honestly its true!
He pressed 'control and 'enter' and disappeared from view.
It devoured him completely,The thought just makes me squirm.
He must have caught a virus, or been eaten by a worm.
I've searched in the recycle bin And files of every kind;
I've even used the Internet,But nothing did I find.In desperation, I asked Jeeves
My searches to refine. The reply from him was negative,
Not a thing was found 'online.'So, if inside your 'Inbox,' My Grandpa you should see,
Please 'Copy, Scan' and 'Paste' him
And then send him back to me.?

This is a tribute to all the Grandmas and Grandpas who have been fearless and . .....learned to use the Computer…..They are the greatest!We do not stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing.
NEVER Be The First To Get Old!

brilliant sis...just bloomin brill...and i hope i may dedicate this to My Dad he started messing with computers aged 78 and he blew me away with his attempts and i have some pictures he sent on a cd...all edited from Him to Me

Happy Birthday Mom 1st-11-29 to 13-12 -08

Happy Birthday my sweetest...here as always your card...with roses from Jayne.. mine are here too..always remembered never be forgot...lv you always and forever xxxxxx

Im sure this would have been her words....

2009-10-31T11:03:00.000-07:00

Well i did it i may as well add something so here goes.... Just for you mum i love and miss you so much it hurts i read this a while ago and would love to think it was from my mum and dad loosing them both was such a ordeal as there time to go was so near to one another my world rocked and shook it took hold and has had such a profound impact on my life and never have i felt this pain so deep...so just to say i love you both and watch over me whilst i sleep

When tomorrow starts without me, and I am not here to see,If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me,I know how much you love me as much as I love you,And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too.But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand.He said my place is ready in heaven far above,And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye,For all my life I'd always thought it wasn't my time to die.I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,It seems almost impossible that I was leaving you.I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad,I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.If I could have stayed for just a little while,I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.But then I fully realise that this could never be,For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.But when I walked through Heaven's gate and felt so much at home,As God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.He said "This is eternity, And all I've promised you,Today your life on earth is past, but here it starts anew.""I promise no tomorrow but today will always last,And since each day's the same here there's no longing for the past."So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart,For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart.
