The only gifts today will be your sweet memories left behind of laughter, joy and happiness that echo in our minds
We'll gaze upon your pictures we'll think of you with love and hope you're doing fine in heaven up above
May angels hold you closely and sing you a happy song and we'll be sending wishes today and all year long.

Missing you so much
Mum
On Mother's Day
I promise you on Mother's Day
That I will not be sad
I'll think instead of happy times
That you and I have had.
I know that you would want me
To look forward with a smile
Fulfil the life you gave me
And make it all worthwhile
Your memory inspires me
To enjoy the years to come
For though I miss you being here
You'll always be my MUM.
Love and miss you Carol & Robert xxxx

Missing you on your Birthday Mum
Today would have been such a special day
But now it brings sadness and sorrow,
If we could share just one more day
If there was one more tomorrow.
But birthdays are a time of reflection
To look over a year that has past,
And I can't believe another year's gone by
The time, it goes so fast.
But memories of more happier times
In my heart will stay.
I'll treasure each and everyone
Till we meet again someday.
So I'll say Goodbye for now
And blow a kiss to heaven above,
To wish you a Happy Birthday
And send you all my love.
Love from Carol & Robert xxxx
Happy birthday in Heaven Mum love Angela xxxxx

Another Mother's Day is here,
And I still miss having you near.
You were the best mom you could be,
And I never once doubted your love for me.
I could spend each Mother's Day in sorrow,
Crying and wishing you were here,
But instead I choose to celebrate your life,
A life I still hold so dear.
I know you'd rather see me smile
than stand here with tears in my eyes.
So I'll do my best to honour your memory,
And you'll live on as long as I am alive.
Happy Mother's Day Mum love and miss you Carol and Robert xxx

To Mum on your birthday
Is there a party up in Heaven
To celebrate today?
Did angels frost a cake for you?
Or sing to start your day?
We're celebrating you down here
As they must be above
I truly hope your special day
Is filled with peace and love
This day was always special
As we gathered round you here
We'd sing and laugh and celebrate
Your day with so much cheer
I miss those special moments
That we shared throughout the years
It's hard to find that on this day
My eyes now fill with tears
I'm trying hard to smile for you
But ohhh....that empty chair
I turn around and find myself
Still shocked that you're not there
Please know I'm thinking of you
As I go throughout each day
This day is very special though
Because it's your birthday.
Love and miss you so much
Lots of love Carol and Robert xxxxx

For my Mum in heaven on Mother's Day
Mum, you're missed, here always
But missed more on these special days
These days arrive and we're apart
Though you'll be forever in my Heart.
Sadly missed on this special day

Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
Love and miss you lots Angela xxxx
November 24, 2016
To Mum
I miss you Mum,
I awake each morning to start a new day
But the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do
And as the hours pass I think again of you.
I want to call you and just hear your voice
Then I remember that I have no choice
For you are not there and now my heart cries
Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
To say Mum I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in me you've instilled.
The day that you left I just didn't know
That you were going where I couldn't go.
And now all my memories of you are so dear
But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry?
It so hard to tell you "Mum goodbye."
Someday I know all will be well
And I'll see you again with stories to tell
Of how you were missed and how we have grown
And how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I'll keep near
And I'll pass them on to those who are dear.
We all Miss you Mum Sylvia and Family xxx

Missing You Mum
You fed me well, you made me strong
You taught me to know right from wrong
You made me feel that I belong
You showed me the value of a song
You gave me life, you gave me love
You always knew the way I feel
You used the words you thought might heal
You convinced me it was no big deal
Your advice would keep it real
You gave me life, you gave me love
Broken hearts you liked to mend
It was not in your nature to offend
Birthday cards you'd always send
You knew the value of family and friends
You give me life, you give me love
You left me now, you've gone away
I'm left behind, I have to stay
So I'll just have to pray
I'll meet you again another day
You always had that 'special touch'
I loved you so very, very much
You gave me life, you gave me love
Please watch over me from above.
Love Angela xxx

To Mum
Each time we look at your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
Don't be sad but courage take,
And love each other for my sake.
In the quiet of the evening
I sit and think of you
I open up my memory book
Of the things we used to do.
And as I turn the pages
My eyes are filled with tears
For, although I have my memories
I can't hold back the tears.
Love and miss you Carol & Robert xxxx

Happy birthday Mum

Happy Birthday Mum
My Rock (My Mom)
Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone
She was always there
to answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.
At times, I didn't feel like talking
and somehow, she understood -
Didn't say she wished I'd call
or make me feel like I should.
Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
were, all those times we shared.
I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
even when I was a kid.
Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.
She was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.
Love and Miss you Mum xxxxx

To Mum on Mother's Day
It's Mother's Day again,
And I'm trying to make it through,
Because this day reminds me
Of all the things I miss about you.
I miss your face smiling at me,
With love shining from your eyes.
I miss the way you'd laugh at my jokes
So hard that it made you cry.
I miss the way you could always tell
When something in my life had gone wrong,
How you'd talk to me until I felt better,
Your words soothed me like a song.
And so I sit here once again
Remembering these things I miss
And this year, just like every year,
I make a silent wish.
I wish that one day, I'll see you again,
Whole and safe and sound
You'll take my hand securely in yours.
And for Heaven we'll be bound.
love and miss you Carol and Robert xxx
November 24, 2015
Mum
For all the times you gently picked me up,
When I fell down,
For all the times you tied my shoes
And tucked me into bed,
Or needed something
But put me first instead.
For everything we shared,
The dreams, the laughter,
And the tears,
I love you with a Special Love
That deepens every year.
Thank You Mum
Love Angela xxx
November 24, 2015
Mum
Every year we have shared with you has been a year to treasure
To know that you were always there with thoughtful words and caring heart.
So many dear and happy times, remembering them all,
Love and miss you

To Mum
A million times I,ve missed you,
a million times I,ve cried,
if love could have saved you,
you never would have died.
I often sit and think of you
and think of how you died.
To think I could't say good-bye
before you closed your eyes.
No one can know my loneliness
and no one can see me weeping,
All my tears from my aching heart
while other are sleeping.
If I had one life time wish,
a dream that could come true.
I'd pray to God with all my hearts
for yesterday and you.

From whom we had to part.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM
I am looking up today and I trust
you are looking down
because today is your birthday and I am
insisting on smiles and not a single frown
I know this is what you would ask for
because you always thought of other folk
so look at your smiley family laughing and
having a joke
We always puzzled what to buy you when this
day came each year
You would always say "nothing - as long as you
visit I know you care"
So we would do the usual, buying you gifts that
would be useful one day
and you would express your delight as you put them quietly away
I like to think you are looking down on us in your
caring way
Especially today which is very special because mother
today is your (95th) birthday
So Mum I hope the angels are singing and you are
celebrating big style
but take a moment from your celestial celebrations to
spend with us looking down for awhile
Happy Birthday
Love from Carol and Robert xxxx

To Mum on Mother's Day
I'll Celebrate Instead of Cry
Another Mother's Day is here,
And I still miss having you near.
You were the best mom you could be,
And I never once doubted your love for me.
I could spend each Mother's Day in sorrow,
Crying and wishing you were here,
But instead I choose to celebrate your life,
A life I still hold so dear.
I know you'd rather see me smile
than stand here with tears in my eyes.
So I'll do my best to honour your memory,
And you'll live on as long as I am alive.
Love and miss you Carol and Robert xxxx

To Mum
To Mum
Your Mother is always with you.
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of certain foods you remember
Flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.
She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well.
She's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day.
She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep,
The colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She's the place you came from, your first home,
And she's the map you follow with every step you take.
She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy,
but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space.. not even death.
Still miss you Mum xxx

To Mum on your birthday
If roses grow in Heaven
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her
and when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Love and miss you Mum

For days without you Mum

November 19, 2013
Mum
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time or reason,
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind 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 do without.
Love on your birthday from

Missing You on Your Birthday
Today is full of memories
Happiness and tears
Of Birthday celebrations
We've shared throughout the years
And though i'll always miss you
The endless joy you brought
Warms my heart with gratitude
And fills my very thought.
Wherever you are resting
I hope that you can see
How precious and uplifting
Your memory is to me
I feel that you are with me
In everything I do
So I will celebrate your birthday
But i'll spend it missing you
Love and miss you Angela xxx

Heartaches mixed with love,
No happy Mothers Day wishes,
No cards to Mother with love.

To Mum
A face that is always on my mind,
A smile I have seen a million times,
Two eyes that would light up the sky at night,
One last battle you could not fight,
The day was long, then night then morn,
I knew that soon you would be gone,
I clasped your hand so warm in mine,
Soon we would be out of time,
To stay with us you fought so hard,
A million pieces went my heart,
Now a photo I look at to see your smile,
I keep your number on my speed dial,
A video I watch to hear your voice,
This I do, I have no choice,
But great memories I will always keep with me,
Your love in my hearts for eternity,
I never got to say goodbye,
To understand why, I can but try,
Waiting in heaven from this moment on,
Till God asks you to bring me home.
I will always love you Mum xxxxx

Mum On Your Birthday
Though you're no longer with me
Every day I find
In one way or another
You're back there in my mind
I might hear a piece of music
And at once my mind is stirred
Back to a treasured moment
The two of us have shared
I never try to stop them
I let them just flow through
It's just my way of spending time
Once again with you.

Softly the leaves of memories fall
Gently we gather and treasure them all
Unseen, unheard, you are always near

And when old times we do recall
That's when we miss you most of all
Always in our hearts Mum

You've just walked on ahead of me
And I've got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand
I try and cope the best I can
But I'm missing you so much
If only I could see you
And once more feel your touch
Yes, you've just walked on ahead of me
Don't worry I'll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine

I wish heaven had a phone so I could here your voice again.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in silence I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which i,ll never part.
God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.
Love you and miss you

Mum On Your Birthday
No cake or candles here today
Or presents for you to open
Just love from family who want to say
Happy Birthday, and that we're hoping
Somehow you can see and know
That we have not forgotten you
That we still remember, even though
You've departed from our view
And if you see us here below
And wonder why we care
It's just because we want to show
That a part of you is still here
You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart
