My Grandad Taff was taken from this earthly plain by the terrible disease called cancer which i have lost so many of my family to,the only thing he would moan about was the fact that he could not do everything for himself.I have a regret and that is that i did not spend enough time with my Grandad when he was ill but im sure he forgives me.Fred as he was called loved to play darts,dominoes,pool and snooker,he loved to go to his locals with my Dad Terry and my Uncle Alan,He had 4 children,Aunty June the oldest then Aunty Margaret,Terry(my Dad)and Aunty Gwen,He has 13 Grandchildren and nearly 30 Greatgrandkids and a few Great-Great Grandkids so we have all been busy im the oldest Grandson Alan.His other passion was being out in the fresh air either walking or on his bike which we would all of us accompanied him on a wander more than a few hundred times in our lives,we all loved it,i never realised till after he had gone what a massive part of my life he was,he lived with my Nan Gwendoline(Gwen)until she died in 1987 of cancer,i moved in with him for about 9 mths as he had never been on his own,but then off i went to get on with my own life as we do when were teenagers,i did all my growing up at the caravan site where they lived and its also where i was born,but after my nan died i found it difficult to even visit as much as i did when i moved out after those first 9 mths and bit by bit i stopped going(my biggest regret)he was very lucky because he had my Aunty Gwen and Uncle Alan a few doors down and my Aunty June and Uncle Mike a few doors the other way so he always had family on the doorstep to keep an eye on him while he kept an eye on everyone else(he was always at the window ha ha )so thats just abit about my Grandad...Goodnight and Godbless Grandad..we all send our love everyday to you and Nanny..XXXX
with love ..xx

A Letter From Heaven
To those we love,
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be.
Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
It is comforting to know that you hold us so close while struggling with the prospect of letting us go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! We have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that we are safe in God's perfect love. We would like you to take some of the love you have for us and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever. Ours has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there. Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'us' from time to time. That's all right too. All of our needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of us, never think of us as being alone. Think of us smiling, laughing and enjoying all that god has prepared for us.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that we are very proud of you for never giving up.
We love you!
Your Loved Ones In Heaven

Christmas Without You
The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.
The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.
The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.
The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.
If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.
I reminisce our Christmas’ past
The joy and love we shared
Moonlit walks and midnight talks
And ways you showed you cared.
Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.
Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.
So hold a place in heaven dear
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.
In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss, your story has touched my heart. My nan passed away in July 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.
