My Dad Ramsay, passed away very suddenly in october 2003 aged 73, Dad was a bus driver for years, working with the 'western', amongst other bus companies. Thats where he met my mum -in 1957, margaret (my mum) was a clippie - the ticket lady! they had an amazing relationship, always dancing and singing even when they were preparing the dinner! I was really lucky to have such close loving parents. My mum misses my dad terribly - everyday she talks to his picture, everyday she wishes he was here.
we never got the chance to say goodbye, the heart attack just stole
him within minutes. I dont think i could have said goodbye - my dad was my hero, he was the best - i miss his big hearty laugh, i miss the big reassuring hug id get when i was upset or down, i miss his smile.
My dad was the youngest of 4 children, Mysie, Robert and Mary all raised in Kinning Park Glasgow. Mysie died in 1989, and Mary, Robert and my dad all passed away in 2003. Not a good year.
But i know we will all meet again someday, and until then i will do my best to keep my mum happy, and make u proud of me.
Till the 12th of never daddy - I will miss U xxx xxx

With silent thoughts and tears unseen we wish your absence was only a dream ,
Death is a heartache no one can heal
But memories a keepsake no one can steal x

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way.

I am very sorry that I have not lit any candles this past month...I have been a bit down lately...and also had some bad news about my dad and havent felt able to light candles on the site...
But You and your Angels have never been far from my thoughts ...and I thank you for your continued support with lighting Michaels candles xxx


Love Always Tanya xxxxxx

What is a grandchild

What is a grandchild
Well may you ask!
Its a song in the heart,
It's a halloween mask,
It's an ache in the back
and swings in the park -
It's crumbs on the floor
and a cry in the dark.
It's kittens and tadpoles,
It's lego and snap,
It's scissors in your lap,
It's a quivering lip
and a hot clutching hand -
It's a stake in the future,
the hope of our land.....

I wish I knew that morning, what pain the day would bring, your special heart stopped beating and I could not do a thing.
I miss u every minute of evry day.
Until the 12th of never

Miss U Dad

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
For I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Three little words
Forget me not
They don't say much
But mean a lot
Forget you not
we never will
Cos in our hearts
We love you still

Miss U

TO Dad, Love and Miss u everyday. Vicky

You never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

with love to Vicky & family xxxxxxxxxx

Dont weep for me my dear ones
i've not gone very far
gently angels all around me
took me by the hand
and led me to a garden
in a beautiful golden land
everywhere was shining lovely to behold
i felt a peace i've never known
wrapped in their arms as they took me home.

I wish to thank everyone
for all your love and care
just knowing you are with me
and the happy times we shared.

I will never leave you ever
i will be in the softest sigh
in the gentle summer breezes
and the clouds in the morning sky
yes i will be with you forever
as long as there is love
then one day we'll be together
in god's home up above.
