I don't really remember much about my Nan apart from the fact that I love her to bits. When me and
my sister were younger we used to go for Sunday dinner most weeks with the whole family. We used to
take their dog Penny for a walk, but then Nan got ill.....I was only young at the time but I still
remember going to visit her in the hospice....she had tubes all over the place which were helping
her breathe, but on the day she died, mum and dad left us at home with my great nan. I remember this
like it was yesterday because me and my sister heard them come home, it was 1 in the morning and it
was the first time I'd ever seen my dad cry. It was then that I learnt that my nanny had gone to be
an angel in the sky, because the cancer had taken her away.
I am sorry Nan that I haven't been on here for a while. Hope you're looking after my Grandad!!!!! Hope you are both happy again. I love you and miss you and wish I had more time with you both.
Good night xxxxxxx
a letter from heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
