IN 2004 OUR MAM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.ABOUT A WEEK AFTER SHE HEARD THE NEWS SHE SUMMONED US HER 5 KIDS TO HER HOUSE TO TELL US.SHE TOLD US EVERYTHING SHE WANTED TO TELL US,ABOUT HOW PROUD SHE WAS OF US AND HOW MUCH SHE LOVED US.AT THE END OF US TALKING THE ONLY DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE WAS HERS.
SHE WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET US ALL KNOW THAT WHAT SHE WAS ABOUT TO SAY WAS FROM HER HEART AND TRULY MEANT. THAT THESE WERE HER THOUGHTS AND THAT SHE WANTED US TO LISTEN SO THAT WE WOULD UNDERSTAND.
AT THE BEGINING SHE WAS NOT AFRAID.
SHE SAID THAT IT WAS SUCH A WONDERFULL FEELING SHE HAD .THAT SHE FELT SOMEHOW SAFE AND FELT SO MUCH LOVE THAT SHE THOUGHT NOTHING ELSE COULD TOUCH HER. SHE SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THAT SHE WAS NOT FRIGHTENED.
SHE WANTED US ALL TO KNOW THAT SHE WAS SO VERY GREATFUL THAT SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING AS IT WOULD GIVE HER TIME TO EXSPRESS HOW SHE FELT.SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A MIRICAL TO BE GIVEN THIS CHANCE.ONLY OUR MAM COULD BE TOLD SHE WAS DYING AND BE THANKFULL.
SHE WANTED US ALL TO KNOW THAT WE DID HER AND OUR DAD PROUD.SHE SAID SHE KNEW WE WOULD BE STRONG AND ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER AND LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.SHE WAS GLAD THAT SHE WASNT TAKEN SUDDENLY AS SHE AND US KNOW WHAT HEARTBREAK THAT BRINGS AS WE LOST OUR DAD SUDDENLY 7 YEARS AGO.
WHAT SHE WANTED US TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT WHAT WAS LEAVING US IS THE BODY SHE WAS LENT. THAT DEATH WOULDNT BE TOUCHING HER HEART AND SOUL WHICH WILL STILL BE WITH US ALL.SHE FIRMLY BELIEVED THAT WE WERE JUST SKIN AND BONES AND THAT ITS WHATS INSIDE THAT MATTERS.
SHE SAID SHE WISHES SHE COULD OF HELD US ALL TIGHTLY SO THAT WE COULD ALL FEEL WHAT SHE FELT -AT PEACE.
WHEN SHE WAS FIRST TOLD SHE SAID SHE FELT IT WAS A NEW BEGINING BUT WAS SORRY AS SHE KNOWS ITS THE ONES THATS LEFT BEHIND THAT SUFFER BUT KNOWING WHAT SHE KNOWS SHE DOESNT WANT US TO CARRY ON IN PAIN AND SUFFERING BUT TO LIVE OUR LIVES TO THE FULL AND TO MEET LIFE HEAD ON AND LOVE IT.SHE FINISHED BY SAYING HAVE YOURSELFS A LITTLE BUBBLE THEN GET OUT AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIVES. THROUGH OUT THE YEAR SHE WAS TOLD ABOUT HER CANCER SHE NEVER COMPLAINED AND SEEMED TO TAKE ON A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.EVERY THINK SHE WENT THROUGH SHE HANDLED WITH COURAGE DIGNITY AND BRAVERY WE ARE ALL SO VERY PROUD OF HER .
THERE WAS A WORD USED TO DESCRIBE OUR MAM BY THE NURSES AND DOCTORS AND THE VICAR WHO CAME TO SEE HER AMAZING IT WAS USED THROUGHOUT HER FINAL DAYS WHEN SHE WOULDNT LEAVE US AND BATTLED ON.SHE SWORE AT THE BEGINING SHE WOULD FIGHT AND BY GOD SHE DID. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY SAY BUT AMAZING DOESNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO DESCRIBING HER.WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH GIVE DAD A GREAT BIG KISS AND CUDDLE AND WE KNOW THAT YOU AND DAD ARE NEVER FAR AWAY XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Any way, happy birthday, hope you had a proper party for your 60th birthday up there with Granda and all of the other angels. Just thought I would let you know that I love you so much and miss you even more, I'm always thinking of you and you are always in my heart!! Love you and miss you always, see you soon!!
Love you!
Hey Nanna :) Decided i would pay both you and Granda a visit today, thinking it has been far too long since i was last on here, almost a year so i decided to pop in for a chat, but hey, i do miss your cups of tea :( just thought I would let you know about the things which me and John are doing now although you probably know and i know you will be looking down on us with PRIDE! Well i got accepted into University, i wanna become a nurse and john recently has had his mind set on the rigs. i have just said this to Granda and i will say it again to you, your are my INSPIRATION and my biggest role model, love you always and forever, Hayley xxxxx

Heyya Nanna :) Sorry I haven't been on here in a while, I've just been busy with college and stuff and i know that's not an excuse and I know I should come on here more but every time i do come on here, reading the comments from the people that love you get me really upset and bring tears to my eyes. I just thought I would pop in to say hello, and just to let you know that I love and miss you millions and just like I have just said on granda's page, you maybe in my thoughts and sometimes in my dreams but you will always be in my heart!! I love you so so much and at times I sit and think; WHY? but i know the answer, it's like the saying, God only takes the best and in this case, it is definitely true! Love you forever and always, Never forgotten. I'll come back soon I promise you that! x x x

Love You And Miss You So Very Much!!
Heyyyaa Nanna;;;
Well, it's been three years todayy and i'm missing you so much. I'm trying to hide my tears because i remember that your always looking down on me and theres no need to cry because you haven't gone any where. There are no words i could use to describe how much i love and miss you. You are always going to be in my heart and there's never one single day when i don't think about you. When ever i see pictures of you and me, even pictures of you brings back tonnes of memories. Love you MILLIONS xxxxx
Hello nanna, three years today. well all try our hardest not to get upet because we know thats not what you wanted. i would say i missed you, but i know your always with us. i could go on forever, amazing doesnt even come close to describing you. give grandad a big big hug, always in our hearts, lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxx
miss you so much
hi mam it is now three years since you left the pain is still here i dont think it will ever leave, they say it gets easier as time goes by but i dont feel that it does, in fact it gets harder. there is so much happening in my life at the moment and i really could do with you being here. your memory is never easy with it being so near the christmas, the kids really miss you and dad as this was a special time of year for the whole family to get together. i know you are around us, i can feel you sometimes. mam i could go on writing forver how much we miss you and want you here but it would never come close to how we really feel. we all love so very much. give dad a big hug and kiss from us, tell him we love him. take care of one another, love you. donna
