You know I will miss you more than anything in the world, we had such great fun times together and you made my life so happy and cheerful for a few months. I knew you had to go eventually, everyone has to go eventually but I thought you had a few years left but I suppose I dint really know how ill you were I never thought it would be so close to Christmas which you were looking forward to so much and planning for as though the world was going to stop for weeks with all that food β 3 Swedes is a little excessive and you wont even eat them cold like you say you will , you really were a good friend and thatβs why everyone came to you, you were so genuine and caring but you would always find a way of making someone laugh or feel better. You created so many memories for me and most I will never forget, like that time im so sure you used sweet and sour sauce in a spaghetti bolognaise or that time when you were talking to someone on the phone and you just said bye and put the phone down in the middle of a conversation, or all those times you invited me for tea and the way you made me feel so good about how I looked cos you always told me the truth and the time we just fell asleep for like 2 hours one afternoon and the time you brought me that teddy bear and said thank you for helping me, I no it sounds silly but all this are little things I wont forget and you would just make that atmosphere such a happy one even though you were suffering and wasnβt well, and that habit you got into of not going to appts unless I went with you and that annoying habit of letting your inhalers run out before getting new ones and then struggling until you got more and saying you would get new ones before they run out but never did. It didnβt really annoy me quite funny really cos I made sure I had some you could use. I remember the time mum called you a mad fish it made me laugh so much cos you knew what I meant but acted stupid just to make me laugh, and that time you and Irene was arguing over those Daniel o donnel tapes an she wouldnβt share even though there was like four and you got so stressed it was funny and now im stuck with that DVD. The way if you hair got in the way you would just cut it with no mirrors and blunt scissors really surprised me in a odd way when I first saw you do it then I realized it was just you and found it quite funny
Iβm making a little place in the garden for people to come and chat to you with a sycamore tree which you would have loved cos you would sing to that advert all the time and a bench for me to sit on and a little plaque to make it smart and a nice remembrance of you cos I couldnβt forget you- you were Eileen I know if all that Colin fry stuff is true then you will come and talk to me cos its so you. I reali will miss you cos all those mornings with you and Ben and coffee and jam sandwiches was funny and it made me look forward to everyday and I always went off to college smiling, everyone thought you were my auntie but you were more than that to me you were a really good friend and like a second mum cos you looked after me an I looked after you I think we were a good team.
The past few years in my life wasnβt that good and then you put it in perspective cos you were suffering and yet you still managed to smile so much and be happy, you really were an inspiration to me - the advice you gave was good I loved being in your company cos you took all my troubles away and made it like it was just us in our own little world; we were so alike it was unreal with such a big age gap cos you used to be a nurse and im just beginning my course. You loved Bennie like I love mystie and jasper; we started to dress the same after a couple of months.
Your boys have lost a brilliant mum and we all know how much you loved them cos you never stopped talking about them and all the stories of when they were children, they will miss you more than anything in the world, more people loved you than you think hunni, and trust me when I say no one will ever forget you, love ya x
I really will miss you Eileen
Xxx

Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep
I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light
I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?
I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence
If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

βΌ The Sea and the Beach βΌ
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The sea seems to illustrate pain and sorrow so well
It comes in and goes out
For a while it is there, overwhelming, covering everything
Then slowly the tide turns and it withdraws
For a while we can see the beauty of the shells, the seaweed
We can rejoice in the patterns in the sand
We can feel the corrugated ripples under our feet
Alive to what is around, and beyond
But then the tide turns and again it is all washed away, all overwhelmed
We feel like the crashing of the waves on rocks
Raw and out of control
Full of anger and rage
Battered and bruised
Tossed about like flotsam floating wherever we are thrown
There are so many questions. Why now? Why her?
But no answers
Then the sea calms and gently the waves lap the rocks
We are soothed and the inner turmoil is calmed
In time we can learn to move up the beach as the tide comes in
Out of its reach
Not to be overwhelmed
The pain is still there, but in control
We can recognise the pain
Revisiting the sadness
Acknowledging how much the person is missed
We learn to turn away and look to the future
Knowing the person will always be part of us
Always loved and always remembered.

~ Immeasurable (by Sean Ashcroft) ~
Laughter will still sound,
even though you’re gone.
But the decibels will dip,
with some smiles, painted on.
Hopes will still soar,
dreams float on high.
But the altitude will drop,
as will the supply.
Passion will still drive us,
desire wave us off.
But the revs will decline
and the engine might cough.
Time will be bejewelled,
lives lit by waltzing light.
But the carats will diminish,
its brilliance a lesser sight.
Yet memories have no volume,
love no mass nor weight.
These will broaden, widen, deepen,
a true measure of something great.
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
~ Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.

•♥ Heaven ♥•
A silver thread that keeps me near
To those I love and hold so dear,
Will someday slip, and I'll swim free.
A soul afloat in a bounteous sea.
I'll also soar in maddening glee,
To places unseen by you and me.
Through darkest night and brightest day,
I'll fly to a far and magical bay.
In ethereal havens of love and peace,
My God-given life will never cease.
The passing of time will be obsolete ...
Travelling the auras, no great feat.
Don't you grieve, notice the sound
Of my songs to you with love abound.
I'll never leave you, don't you see?
I'll live with you, eternally!

α¦♥α¦ Till Healing Comes α¦♥α¦
My heart is closing deep inside
from all the pain I feel;
while others are so full of joy
my hurt feels very real.
I want to find a bit of light
but part of me feels dead,
and though I see the joy around
my soul is sad instead.
It's hard to enter deeply in
when you're no longer here.
It's like the lights have all gone out
and won't be lighting up this year.
And so this year I must be
just how it is I am.
So that soon my heart can heal
I'll do the best I can.
The only thing that I can do
is to stay present in the now,
to feel my grieving pain
and trust I'll heal somehow.
As this year gently comes
and as my heart is torn in two.
I'll open just a little bit
as I'm deeply missing you.
I'll trust the gift of life that's here
and trust that I'm ok,
and be with how it is right now...
..till healing comes my way.

♥βββ♥ HOMEWARD BOUND ♥βββ♥
The Lord woke up this morning with so much work to do
so many plans He has to make before the day is through.
He gathers all his angels. They stand close by his side
as each receive their saintly chores they spread their wings and fly.
The Lord looked up and realized his angels all were gone.
With so much work still left to do, He'd hire a new one on.
A million applications now lie upon his desk.
He reads each one so carefully until he finds the best.
Someone with all the qualities it takes to keep their faith.
Someone who seemed to always have a smile upon their face.
Someone who always tried to give a hand to those in need.
Unselfish love was all she knew, no room was left for greed.
And now the Lord has made his choice. He'll come for her today.
With wings that God alone can give, He smiles and flies away.
A single, fallen feather lies softly on the ground.
A sign sent down from heaven, Angel wings are homeward bound.

♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥
♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥

"I Can't Cry Hard Enough" by The Williams Brothers.
I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast.
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.
Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite.
There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why.
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.
Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is just an empty chair.
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.
There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why.
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

Missing You
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
