She died on 13 Oct 2005 of cancer and a brain tumour, after suffering for a long time. I wish so much I could phone her and send her photos of the kids. I live quite a distance from where she lived, so didnt see her much (probably 3 times a year, a bit more during her last 2 years). I havent even deleted her number from my phone.

God bless you sweetheart, I feel for you so much. I lost my Son over 6 months ago, and am still devestated-feel your pain so much.

I never had a grandmother I could be close to - my mum's mum died when mum was just 16 and her dad died a few months before I was born. My dad's father died a long time before I arrived, and my grandmother lived a way away from us so I only saw her a few times in my life and I was a bit scared of her cos I never really got to know her. All I really remember is when she did come to stay, she rolled my very straight hair in rag curls and it was so tight it hurt, so I made my mum loosen them. I was obviously a disappointment to her with my fine straight hair!!!

Grandparents are very special people... My Nan died last week, aged 97, her funeral was a couple of days ago but I take strength in the knowledge that she had a fabulous life and we had great fun together. I have made it a choice to remember the people no longer with me as if they are still around, as i am sure that they are somewhere, so then I don't get sad, just smile at the memories. Sal x

Sal, sorry to hear your lost your grandmother but how lovely to have such nice memories of her and you can still talk to her as if she were here, she will know. Liz
