thinking of you, Joan. Joy

Joan, I was sorry to hear of your sad loss. What a sad day it was yesterday. Jim

love to you joan.and i hope your comforted to know you have great friends here on gr.whenever you need support.love and hugsxxx(:

Deborah, that poem is beautiful, I have tears rolling down my face now!! Thank you. Lara, I will mail you... Everybody else, so many I can't name you all: THANK YOU - WHAT A FANTASTIC BUNCH OF PEOPLE YOU ALL ARE if only there were more people like you in the World, maybe such terrible things wouldn't happen. The point of my thread being that even when I was saying goodbye to my Mum, I was thinking how many young people wouldn't be able to even say hello to theirs ever again, to see their children's faces, or touch or cuddle them again; I know how lucky I was to have been able to have a funeral, to put my Mum to rest. There are people still waiting, not knowing what has happened to their loved ones. I'm a great believer in appreciating what I have, i'm so very grateful, & I always am aware there are folk worse off than me. I just want everyone to make sure they appreciate their loved ones, to say sorry if need be, & to always leave each other with a smile or a kiss because we never ever know what life holds for all of us.......... Thank you, Joan x

Hi Joan My Deepest Smypathy and my Love are sent your way. It is bad enough having to do deal with your own grief never mind with the grief that is all over the news. My Thoughts are with You. To tell the truth it was my 21st Wedding Anniversary yesterday supposed to be a day of celebration. We had plans to go out last night but after watching everything that was going on in London. I did'nt feel much like celebrating either. Like someone else said not exactly the right reasons to be remembering a happy day when so many people were suffering. I am thinking of you as I lost My mum 15 years ago 11 th December and buried her the week before Christmas. Christmas's have'nt been the same since. With All my Love to you and your Family Maureen

Deborah what a beautiful poem even though it made me cry I lost my mum 30 years ago when she was just 50 and still miss her badly. I still cannot go to the cemetary without crying. my thoughts are with anyone who has lost someone especially a mother .

Hello Joan Sorry to hear of your loss.My mum is still with me but I lost my father 12 years ago ,he died holding my hand and it was very hard to let go knowing it would be the last time ,he was 56. I have a poem on my computer not sure where it comes from but I take comfort in and and hope no one is offended by it If tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. 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 an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd 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, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much yet to do, It seemed 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 relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When GOD looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said 'This is eternity, And all I've promised you.' Today for 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 way There is no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, You knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven, And now at last you are free. So won't you take my hand. And share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we are far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart. Deborah

OH JOAN my love is coming to you my darling! Davex
