In Memory of My Nan.

In a graveyard gentle sleeping,
lies a very precious Nan,
loved and missed everyday.

I will remember you in my heart,
in my thoughts
and in my memories.

I will remember the times we loved,the times we shared,
and the times we laughted.

And when tomorrow starts without you
I know we`re never far apart,
because everytime i think of you,
You`re right here in my heart.

I will love and miss you always.


In Memory of My Grandad

You loved us all so vey dear and we all loved you so.
No one knows the heartache that lies behide our smiles,
no one knows how many times, we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something so there won`t be any doubt,
you`re so wonderful to think of,but so hard to be without.

Today and tomorrow we will always remember you.

Love you both so much.

Happy Christmas.

that is lovely, I wish that I had good memoiers of my grandparents. Since I've been doing my tree and digging into my grandads family the little he did tell me there was a lot of lies in it . I just wonder if my dad knew the truth.

Whilst clearing out my grans house when she had to go into a home, we found love letters between her and my grandad (who died 6 weeks before I was born).
When gran died in 2003, aged 99, I looked at these letters, and spent two years transcribing them, giving a copy on a floppy disc to close family members.
I know no-one except my mum has looked at these letters.
I wasn't close to my gran, but have become closer through realising she was young once, and , due to her upbringing, never spoke of her youth.
My mum has the same problem.
Me and my sister vowed, when we both had our first child, we wouldn't be the same as either our gran or mother.
We aren't , and have a much closer, affectionate relationship with our children, but feel guilty for our mum and gran.
They would have loved a similar relationship with us as we have with our children and grandchildren, but 'upbringing' denied them that pleasure.
