My Nan a big part of my life since the day I was born. She lived in Farnborough Hampshire but was from Scarborough in Yorkshire. She had one son (my dad) who died when I was a year old from a brain tumour he was only 27! My Nan lived in the same road as us and we saw her lots.

On the 10th December 1998 she sadly died from a heart attack in her bedroom and our lives changed forever.

I made this site as its been 9 years and I felt I needed to for her.

She now has 3 beautiful great grand children who she sadly never got to meet.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Nan.

Its cold here today and we have snow, but its not settled. The kids are full of beans and have a few eggs, nowhere near the amount we used to get when we were kids though.

Love and miss you. xx

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss, your story has touched my heart. My nan passed away last year and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

Nan

Without you I would not have been where I am now. I am thankful to you for everything. I remember your chips and when my sister and I used to come round your house for tea and made our camps behind the chairs.

its been a long time now and I hope that you have been reunited with your son, our dad.

I was looking trough some old photo last night and I paused on yours. its amasing how thing change in a short space of time.

We miss you

Miss You Nan

Its been 9 years today since we found you dead on the floor in your bedroom, a cold wet night and I will remember it forever! I got the call at work and was very distraught indeed but came to your house and just before they took you away I came and saw you. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do Nan seeing you there so small and lifeless.
I had a dream about you last night and then when I awoke I remembered its the anniversary of your death, were you trying to send me a message?
You now have 3 great grandchildren Adam, Chloe and Kieran who I know you would have loved to spoil rotten had you had the chance.

I miss you so much
Love always
Lorraine. xxxxxx
