Would like to remember a special person, Ger, who left us suddenly last year. Missed by many but has left so many fond memories. Still around to lend a hand when needed.
Always in our hearts, love & light Ger, God bless.
To our dear father. 14 years today since you left this world. We still miss you each day and love you dearly, but know your spirit is happy and free. Thank you for coming back to watch over us, your messages take the edge off us missing you.
Love and hugs,
Your little girls xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sadly missed, but never forgotten.
To my Gran and Grandad, two most cherished people, who, are sadly missed. Even though you are still looking after us, all, we miss the love and jokes we shared.
A sad day back in 5th October 1989, when my much loved Gran passed over, and another on the 6th October 2000., but we are all happy they are back where they belong in each others arms bonded by true love.
Till we meet again, I will always talk to you, and think about you both.
With much love and hugs.
xxxxxxSweet onexxxxxxxxx!!!
Too young, too soon!!
My dear Fiona, taken from us in such a short time, never got to see your 21st. with us. I do hope you had your own celebration.
We still miss your warm, loving smile and cute laugh, that touched everyones heart that it met.
I am so glad we met, as you have touched my heart, and it will never forget the most beautiful and down to earth person.
We hope that you are free with your horses, you much loved.
We will never forget the day of the 7th September 2001, when you were called to be a angel, for our master.
Sending much love and warmness for the golden girl.xx Till we meet again!!xxx
Just a piece I have written to mark a very sad but very special time for me. My son died very suddenly and violently in an accident and this is a short piece about bereavement and trauma, as a tribute to him and about my healing, recovery and growth x x
Morris The Monster
Morris is a monster, he came to live with us in 1989, uninvited, without even a glance, barging his way in, ten feet high with big claws and teeth drooling, all powerful beyond his limits. In the early days I dared not even catch his eye, he used to just stare from his window, watching and waiting. He lived in his den behind the great oak door, there he waited for his chance to tear it down, break free, but it always held fast, it was stronger than he.
If you have never cared for a monster then believe me, they are very difficult chaps to keep. They moan constantly at night always trying to get out. After all, whilst sometimes theres just no other place to keep one; is it really fair to keep such an animal in a cage? They need constant care and are always hungry, always demanding more. You must never, ever forget to lock the door.
Morris hated that cage and of course, it wouldnt keep him forever. One day when I was cooking dinner he got out. Now monsters are not really bad, they will only hurt you if you let them but this day Morris cut me down. I had to catch him, we tried everywhere to find him, but just you try to catch a marauding monster! I could feel him everywhere; he hid round every corner, behind every tree. He screamed from passing cars, he hid waiting within wardrobe doors, he took great pleasure to jump on me from wherever he could but I found him, I caught him at last and hung on for dear life. .
I had to get to know him after all such a commitment would mean caring for Morris for many years to come. So just how do you make friends with Morris? Just how do you look him squarely in the eye?
He needed to be understood, challenged and nurtured, he was not going to go away, just ignoring him wouldnt work. Monsters will eventually do as they are told, they just want to be in charge, but they really need to know just whos boss, they need time to understand how to live together, they need to adjust to their new environment, They just cant run off just whenever they want. I had to be brave, I had to stand up to him and try to understand how to control him so that he could become my friend...
You may like to take Morris for walks; short walks at first but with a good strong lead, because hang on! They may dig down and down and drag you under to deep dark dungeons, so deep you never know; they may climb and take you so high to wonderful places you had forgotten existed. They may drag you screaming through dark tunnels so long, that the light appears to be a small dot at the end but as he leads you through, it may get bigger and bigger and brighter and brighter. But above all they need to be understood and trusted before they learn how to be your friend.
Albeit a strange relationship, Morris did become my friend. He kept me safe and comforted in this strange new world, after all who would ever break in with Morris on the loose! He was a link with my past, very tangible, very real. He fired my need to survive and taught me a great deal about myself and others. He taught me the message within all living things, about the beauty within and the beauty without and there are many that now need our help. You served me well Morris mate, but its time to let you go, to release you, to set you free to go to help someone else. Its not just fair to keep you anymore. It will however be very sad, very final to see you go.
I am standing in our special place, looking out, so high above the world below and now, as I step out, as I am setting you free; .......a whole new world awaits
