My mam was a wonderful caring person. She meant the world to her whole family, and family meant everything to her. My mam was an angel on earth, loving,caring and giving. She loved all her children unconditionally, never asking for anything in return.
Her arms and heart were always open, not just to family and friends to any one that needed her.
My mam did charity work even when she was in a wheel chair we'd have to push her around so she could continue to do it.My mam was always there with kisses and cuddles and words of comfort, didnt matter how old we were her arms were wrapped around you, and some how we new eveything would be ok.The granchildren adored her, they thought she was the best and she was.I always needed my mam,i still do. She taught me many things in life just not how to cope with losing her.I miss and love you dearly mam xxx

Miss you so much Mum

If I could bring you back Mum

for just one single day

The day would fly by so fast

Cause I'd have so many things to say

I'd tell you, dearest Mum

That you truly are the best

So many hearts were filled with pain

The day you were laid to rest.

And now that Christmas time is here

it somehow seems to me

that one special gift is missing

from underneath the tree.

If I could bring you back again

I'd say what's always been true

there's never been a Mum

quite as wonderful as you

When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me.

He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for?

He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home.

A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She'll be there through your pain and strife,
she'll stay constant in your life.

A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.
She'll pick you up when you are down,
when you need a friend she'll stick around.

A mother is one who listens well,
will keep her word; will never tell.

A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side,
giving you the strength you need,
encouraging you to succeed.

A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on.

You're more than a mother to me;
a reflection of Him in your face I see,
a love that knows no boundaries.

I'm glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me.
You share a love that knows no end,
you're more than my mother,
you are my friend.

MISS YOU MUM

Mother;
your sweet voice haunts my mind.
I see your face in my dreams at night,
Your visit is always sweet and kind.
Although you are not with us at this time
I feel your energy; A warmth like sunshine.
I remember how you gave your motherly advice
And your casual conversation was always nice.
Sometimes I feel lost without being able to tell you
Hello or Goodbye.
I feel like there’s nothing left to do but cry.
But I know you would want me to stay strong
I dry my tears and fight to move on.
But still missing you;
Reality creeps in and I think of good times
We miss you but we have to go on with our lives;
I get lonely knowing we will forever be apart
But your memory lives on and will always be in our hearts.

Mum today is my birthday
And there is only one gift
That I would love today
But sadly that's not to be
What would I give
For a motherly hug from you
So with tears in my eyes mum
I whisper low
Love and miss you so

It is lonely here without you,
I miss you more each day,
For life is not the same to me,
Since you were called away.
If I could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
I would pray to God with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.

love & miss you loads nan-nan.xxxxxxx

No words I write can ever say ♥
how much I miss you everyday. ♥
As time goes by, the loneliness grows ♥,
How I miss you, nobody knows. ♥
I think of you in silence, ♥
I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories, ♥
and a photo in a frame.
No one sees me weep. ♥
But the love I have for you, ♥
Is in my heart, and mine to keep. ♥
I have never stopped loving you
and I know I never will.
Deep inside my heart, ♥
You are with me still.
Heartaches, this world are many, ♥
But mine is worse than any. ♥
My heart still aches, as I whisper low, ♥
"I need you... and miss you so. ♥"
The things we feel so deeply ♥
are often the hardest things to say. ♥
But I just can't keep quiet anymore, ♥
So I'll tell you any ways. ♥
There is a place within my heart ♥
that no one else can fill. ♥
I love you and I always will! ♥

ANGEL

An angel lived among us,
A gift from God above.
She showered us with kindness
And shared with us her love.
She cherished every moment
With the man who was her life;
Walking hand in hand together,
Facing life with all its strife.
She loved her children dearly,
Each one a different way,
Nestled close within her heart.
Though, now, she’s far away.
She’s gone to live with Jesus.
But, she’s here with us, today,
Smiling down on every one of us,
And telling us she’s O.K.

loving you always mum xxxx

My Rock My Mum

Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking 'When I phone.
I can talk of this and that!
Then remember I'm alone.
She was always there
To answer my calls,
To listen to my 'small talk'
Or when I climbed the walls
At times,I didn't feel like talking
And somehow she understood,
Didn't say she wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should
Now I wish I would have
More times,to show I cared`
To say,just how important
Were, all those times we shared.
I could have shown my
So much more that I did,
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid
Now it's to late to do or say
All those things I wish I had,
No way to ease the pain inside,
When my heart is sad.
She was my 'anchor' to this life,
The 'rock' that I cling to,
The place,where I could turn ,
When,nowhere else would do,
Now,ravages of time
Have worn my 'rock' away,
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday
With All my Love
Dear Mum On Mother's Day
Love and miss you
xxxxxxxxxx

WONDERFUL MOTHER OF MINE

The moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of that wonderful mother of mine.
The birds never sing but a message they bring
Of that wonderful mother of mine.
Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet to me,
Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her knee.

I pray every night to our Father above,
For that wonderful mother of mine.
I ask Him to keep her as long as He can
That -- wonderful mother of mine.
There are treasures on earth, that made life seem worthwhile,
But there's none can compare to my mother's smile.

You are a wonderful mother, dear Mother of mine.
You'll hold a spot down deep in my heart,
'Till the stars no longer shine.
Your soul shall live on forever,
On through the fields of time.
For there'll never be another to me,
Each melodious measure,
Oft the teardrops flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.

love & miss you so much xxxxxx

love you forever xxAlana

MISSING MUM

The sun came up this morning;
It wasn't very bright.
My dark mood casts a shadow;
It's hard to see the light.

We all have just one mother
And, now that her life on earth is done,
The emptiness and loss I feel
Make it hard to see the sun.

Tomorrow is a brand new day;
May the pain and sadness lighten.
I will remember all her love,
And then the sky will brighten.

Gone is not forgotten;
Her love reminds behind;
She's traveled in a new direction -
Love knows no space or time.

I will always love her.
She will care for me from above.
She will send me starlight and rainbows
To remind me of her love.

xxxxxxx
