    Just a little note.

    Memories are your future, and no one can take them away
    They just get more precious, with each passing day.

    My Nanna and Grandad. They were the foundation of a massive family. I miss them so much.


    (((HUGS)) to the OP.

    I'm not a "SINGLE" mum, I'm a "DOUBLE" mum!:D
  • My lovely Nannan. She taught some of the most important lessons in life and it was a priviledge to be her granddaughter.
  • I miss my mum every day - and she's been dead over 6 years. Actually this has probably been the best Christmas since she died - probably because of DS.
    The IVF worked;DS born 2006.
  • I miss both my mum and dad. My mum died 5 years ago and my dad 27 years ago. You do still carry them with you though. I often find myself repeating thier sayings. I also miss my sister who died at just 23 years old. More for the life she missed than anything as she was 15 years younger than me we were never that close. Just an awful waste of a life full of potential.
    My mum said to me a few months before she died that she didn't want to be kept alive artificially, as she had been everywhere and done everything, and that now she was just a nuicance. I reassured her that she wasn't. But remembered this talk when it came to "do you want her rescuccitated" and though it was hard, I did as she wished.

  • I'd have my Nana back. I loved her so much and when I was younger we did everything together. Due to ill health she had to go in a home and at the time my son was only a toddler and I really didn't go and see her enough. It used to upset my son as some of the people there were a bit strange! (not being nasty). On the day she died, I'm not seen her for a number of weeks and was going to call and see her - unfortunately, I decided to do something else and later on that day she passed away. It still breaks my heart that I didn't go to see her as much as I should. My dad said she did understand that with having a young family and also working it was hard to go and see her, but it really doesn't make me feel better. My son is now 5 and I know that she'd have loved him so much. I still miss her loads.

    Also my Grandpa who died 11 years ago. I'd just met my husband and my Grandpa met him once and said he was lovely - that means a lot to me. I named my son after him and as above, he'd have loved him so much!
  • Thanks to all the heartfelt replies - I've cried such alot today but it helps having you lovely people sharing your feelings.
    What makes it all the more poignant is that it was also my parents' wedding anniversary the day she died - I reassure myself that Dad came for her (she was sitting alone in a nursing home when she collapsed and died unexpectedly. The staff found her when they went to collect her, still full, cup of tea).

    Bless every one of you.:A :lovethoug

  • An emotional thread indeed.

    For me, it would be my Mum, she died in 1984, aged just 51. She never saw my two youngest kids.
    I feel sorry for them, never having seen how kind my mum was with children, and the amount of love she would have given them - she was so proud when my first daughter was born.

    They would have been best friends for life.
    Wha's like us - damn few, an' they're a' deid

    I lost my Dad nearly 2 years ago now. It was sudden and unexpected. I would like the chance to tell him that I loved him.
