For all of us who are missing loved ones just now, post a tribute to them here. It really does help.
It does not necessarily have to be a chat thread, just somewhere to leave our thoughts.
For my mum, the Queen of my Heart. I love you and miss you. Sweet Memories

I would just like to post the first verse of my Dad's favourite song which he used to sing to me every time I left his flat. I can still hear you Daddy. Love you best.
Arriverderci, Roma
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome
City of a million moon lit faces
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home
Arriverderci, Roma
It's time for us to part

To little Davey, who will be paying football with the angels in heaven.
Never forgotten little man. :'(

To Mum and Dad
I miss you both so much.
When I'm out in the garden I think of you Dad and how much you'd have loved advising and helping me out.......remember when I was little and used to "help" you in the garden by gathering up all the worms before I'd let you dig anywhere....
When I see an old film with your favourites, Judy Garland, James Cagney, Gary Cooper etc. (so many more) I remember us watching them together, you always knew all the gossip, who'd been married to who and who'd had affairs with who etc. etc.
When I'm cooking Mum and forget a recipe......you never needed them.
sweet, sweet memories :hug:
-
I don't miss my Dad much but last night whilst watching the Emperor Piano Concerto on BBC4 I shed a few tears inwardly - he taught me to listen to classical music properly and we whistled tunes as we travelled miles in his Austin 7 ......... I would take the solo instrument and he would do the orchestra ......
-
For my dad, the best a girl could ever want...its been 30years now but I never forget. And for my little girl who is sitting at her Papas side. She would have been 18 this month, I never really got to know you but you have a special place in my heart.
Honey

-
For my dad and little brother,
Miss you both so much, our lives have changed forever, but as i promised you dad i am looking after mum so much, she misses you everday. I hope you know we visit you every week. Your loving daughter and sisterxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
For my lovely Grandma, who died the day my first baby was born, all those years ago. Always there in my heart.
-
For my naughty bull terrier, Bridgie, gone so not forgotten. Never had i seen a nature like it, gets into all your hidden areas and never lets go. Her last days were awful and i always will feel very guilty about that. Soon i will post something for my Dad, but can't think what to say, trying not to get hung up right now. Need to pack for holiday, but i'm sure he'd understand? Love and miss him. Eddie. x
-
You pack for the holiday! Sit on a hilltop and shout 'hey Dad, we're here!' ;)

My Nan who i loved so much..xxx

Thinking of my mum who died in May after ten years diagnosed with alzheimers and a few depressed years before that dealing with my dads death, which she never got over...Why did it take me 50yrs to do as i was told and realise she was a wise loving woman and not just "mum"
She died at home with all support available ,her death was peaceful and she floated away like a butterfly at the end.
-
For my dear old Mum - AKA the Duchess who passed away 05/02/05.
For my very special mate J, who died of bowel cancer at the age of 50 last year. She was a dog lover & loved her JRT. So sorry I couldn't attend your funeral J, but I think of you everyday :'( & I miss our late night emails. xxx
-
Just my own thought for today.
It would have been my daughters 18th birthday today. I would loved to have seen her grow up into the beautiful young woman she would have been.
Always in my thoughts even after all these years.

you've been gone for nearly six years now dad, and sometimes, rather depressingly, i still forget you're not there anymore and think, i'll go and see dad.
wish you were still here because i feel our relationship was changing for the better and i wish you could see that i've done well and i've done things i know you would have been proud of ... i was still a bit naughty when you were here!!!

Thoughts of you D!

My dad's cousin passed away today down in Rothesay, she was the most amazing women i've ever met, i'll be taking Mum and Aunty down for funeral. God bless Aunty Silvia.

Hang on in there SZ, you are doing so well. Family & friends are so proud of you girl. We missed you up the pub but I know you would have been there if you could have been. You have come such a long way Matey...
Can't say much more then that

I am posting this for you Karen on your birthday. You should have been 47 today. Remember how we used to sing this song for our lost friends? We never thought that this year I would have been singing it for you instead of WITH you. I am still "dancing for the two of us" but, sometimes, it is really difficult. Here's to you Karen - one of the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n7PvA1pVyg

This is the first Mothers Day without you Mum.

Love you forever and ever. xxxxxx

For my mate Suze who passed away this morning.
The Rose Beyond The Wall
A rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And as the days passed swiftly by
It spread its branches straight and tall
One day a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently towards its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side
Now you who deeply feel its loss
Be comforted – the rose blooms there
Its beauty even greater now
Nurtured by God's own loving care.
A brave lady who left us way too soon.
R.I.P. mate & enjoy a pint or two up there.

Very thoughtful of you, thank you Larky.
Hope you are at peace now Dominic.

Thinking of my dear mate J who passed away a year ago yesterday from cancer.
Where has the time gone J? it seems to have flown by - but I think of you so often, & even more so this week. I knew it was the anniversary sometime this month & I checked in my diary today & low & behold it was yesterday... :'( now I know why I have been feeling so sad this week.
Always in my thoughts Matey.
Lots of love C & T

Only just seen this post.
It was my dads anniversary yesterday,18 years,he was only 57
when he died.
Here's some lyrics from one of his favourite Roy Orbison songs
I had played at his funeral:
In Dreams I walk with you,
In Dreams I talk to you,
I can't help,I can't help it
If I cry.
I remember that you said Goodbye.
On the bottom of my dads headstone are the words
" In Dreams I walk with You"
I thought the world of my Dad and still miss him
very much but I know he is still with me and watching over me.

Thinking of my Dad who died 14 years ago today, 3 days before Diana. I was grieving for him, and the rest of the world was in mourning for her. Miss you , Dad. xx
-
Dad 17 years ago 11th Aug, Mum 5 years ago 14th Aug. Still go to the phone to tell you new news.
Wish you were here to share our lives. You would be so proud of the kids.
Thank you Larky
-
It would have been my Mum's 88th birthday today.
I took Dad to the crem this afternoon & we put some flowers down.
I said to Dad that I quite often have dreams about Mum & in them her mind is normal but then half way through she starts acting weird & the altzheimers shows up & she starts doing silly things. :'(
Dad said that he often nods off in his armchair in the afternoons with the telly on in the background, he starts dreaming & he thinks he can hear Mum talking to him. He says to himself "what's she going on about now", he then realises it's someone on the telly. :) :)
Missing you Mum.

For my beloved Mother who died suddenly on the 24th August 2011. :'(

In memory of Mary (my mother in law) who sadly passed away one year ago today.
Loving thoughts to my dear husband who misses his mum each and every single day.
God saw you getting tired,
when a cure was not to be,
so he wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered come to me.
You didn't deserve what you went through,
so he gave you rest,
Gods garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
God bless Mary, RIP. :ange:

A lovely poem which often brings comfort ....
"Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let my name be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before, only better; infinitely happier and forever."

its that time of year again mum. March still hurts so much. just came here to talk to you and 1st thing i saw was San had posted the poem I read for you when you went, that kind of felt spooky :-)
I miss you so much most times but March has mothers day and your anniversary on 10th. This year its our silver wedding on 14th and it feels so phoney. S is driving me nuts but is it him or me? either way I am miserable and feel like running away for a while which of course I cant ....wish you were here mummsy xxx
-
For my Dad who passed away 36 years ago today (only 52 years old)
Thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have is memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake in which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart .

Thinking of a sweet guy who I worked closely with for over 20 years who was taken by a massive stroke in his 50s. He was doing what he loved - walking in the Peaks - and wouldn't have wanted to face an inactive life so if it had to happen, this was the best way. He'd just taken (very) early retirement so he could do more walking, sailing, ski-ing; I just wish that he'd had longer to enjoy it. His poor widow.... :'( :'( :'(

Thinking of my ex mil (1st marriage)
2 years ago she struggled with bowel cancer and has survived it only to be told a month ago that she has advanced liver cancer now....they mistook her recent problems as depression!
she is at home with macmillan nurses attending. My ex told me today she has about a week to 10 days at most ...feel so helpless and sad.
-
ex mil passed away this morning, faster than expected but a relief for the family.
Thinking of A, he was so upset when he rang :-(
-
Thinking of my MIL & my OH.
MIL is 95 & is slowly leaving us...not ill as such, very old & frail.
Only taking fluid on a sponge now.

So sorry to hear this Ricky.
I can say I do understand as I lost a baby too although she was 5 days old your loss will be no less. Be there for your daughter. Her hopes and dreams have gone. SANDS are very good and will offer support if she needs it.
You can ask for contact details from her midwife.
Keep talking, this is a bereavement and its so very hard to deal with.
Tell your daughter from me there is hope in the future when she may be ready. I went on to have another little girl who is now 17 and the light of my life.

2 years tomorrow my very dear friend Jane died of bowel cancer. After a very brave fight she succumbed 2 weeks after her 50th birthday.
I miss her so very much every day. :'( :'(
I do hope Jane that you ran to greet Jasper at rainbow bridge, I know you will have been there waiting for him with open arms & a smile on your face - & I know Jasper will have been so pleased to see his Mistress - hope you had a cooked sausage for him ;D ;D. I hope you both remember the walks we all shared down on the beach & Jasper can have a lovely swim again in the sea.

Thanks everyone for all your posts.
Dad has now been moved to a side ward, & when I left him 1/2 hour ago to come home & have a quick shower & something to eat he looked peaceful & comfortable.
He had a blood clot in his leg at the weekend, he then had a stroke yesterday afternoon & has been unconscious since, all this after being diagnosed with liver cancer 2 weeks ago.
They are giving him morphine & letting nature take its course.
We really thought he was going to be ok for a bit longer, but as soon as they told him that they were going to send him to the hospice he semed to go downhill so quickly.
I am going back there to sit with him (along with my BB, SIL & nieces) later this evening.
Love Cazi xx
-
Nature takes over. We can only wait and watch. Remember though that hearing is the last sense to disappear so talking to him and not about him is important!!!! reminiscence over the bed between yourselves too. Holding his hand? So he is aware.
-
Thinking of my Dad today on what would have been his 75th birthday - hope he's having a BBQ to celebrate in that campsite in the sky. Love you and miss you Dad, always.
Thinking also of Cazikins and her family xxx

Thinking of you caz.
Dyan X

CLKD, thank you for reminding me about the hearing scese being the last to disappear, I had truly forgotten that. We put it to good use last night & again today.
I had a few minutes to myself with him this afternoon, & I sang to him.
I've been a Wild Rover,
Home, Home on the Range,
Country Roads.
And he squeezed my hand, just a tad but I knew he could hear me & was humming along.
Thinking of Scampis' dad too today. Happy BBQ'ing up in the sky, save a burger for my Dad. :)
Thanks Dyan, :-*
We think he is in stage 2 of 3 now. They have upped the morphine dose.
The custos of the alms house where dad lives came round to read the last rites this afternoon, it was very moving & fitting.
OH & I are back up there this evening - just might have to have another sing song..... Inky Pinky Parlez Vous... no no no I must not sing that song (but then again it is a song I overheard dad singing once).

I just wanted to say good-bye to George the most beautiful cat in the world and didn't he know it! Hope all the angels give you loads of love as we have loved you.
-
Recently Rose ?
-
Yes, just last week. We are all devastated by it as he was the most beautiful big ginger fur-ball with a big attitude. He was only 3 and he was loved enormously by us
but someone put down poison and he got out and well the rest is history. There are a few cat haters around here but no one we can point a finger at. Thank you for asking CLKD.
-
:'( The police and RSPCA have been told about the poison? It's never easy but when an animal is targeted or picks up anti-freeze etc..
-
How awful for you Rose. What type of poison was it and I hope that your local press has published a warning to others.
Taz :hug:
-
In the Fens it was air-gun pellets for about 2/3 years :'(
-
Thank you for asking. The RSPCA said that as the poison was weedkiller then they had no proof of who had actually done it. I suspect one person but they questioned him and of course he denied all knowledge. We raised George from a tiny kitten who had to be bottle fed to this great big fur ball! He was one good looking cat and knew it! If my daughter wasn't there at night, he'd try to sleep with anyone. One night he scared the living daylights out of a guest when he forced the door open and got in beside them! I know we are supposed to keep cats indoors but he got out every so often and used to play with Daisy the dog. We miss him so much. I don't know why anyone would be so cruel to hurt an innocent animal. I have had my fair share of pain but I hate to know how much he suffered. As I said, hope the angels are taking good care of him x
-
I suppose that it could be that George had wandered across somewhere that had recently been sprayed - some of the lawn weedkillers are very toxic and some people just don't think about visiting animals unfortunately. He would then just have to have licked his paws to ingest enough to harm him. One of my cats died after licking a newly creosoted fence - the fence owner was really upset but it wasn't her fault obviously.
You gave George a wonderful life - he was lucky to have you.
Taz x
-
Poor George, but he had a good life with you for his short time - he'll be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge x
-
I was going to post about Rainbow Bridge too .........
-
Where is Rainbow Ridge? Would love to hear about it.

Here you are Rose https://rainbowsbridge.com/poem.htm

Thank you so much Taz 2 that is so beautiful x

... and very comforting..

No matter how many times I read the poem it always makes me. :'(
And warms my heart.
Honeyb
X
-
I can't read it or type 'If it should be' without :'(
-
I had a dream about George and he was with someone who was obviously taking care of him. This made the Rainbow Ridge all the more beautiful and yes so comforting. I have always believed that animals have souls. Just look into their eyes and you can see them. My dog, Daisy has been staying very close to me and as she played with Gorgeous George (as we always call him) she knows something is up. Thank you all. :hug:
-
I saw the Spirit leave my bunny when he was pts and saw 2 of our cats afterwards ;)

Was it a lovely experience for you, CLKD?

Remembering my dearest Dad who passed away 9 years ago - finally reunited with Mum.
-
Yes it wasn't something that worried me. In fact I felt relieved. I think the little cat had visited to tell me it was OK to let her 'brother' go ……… they were pts 9 days apart.

:hug: :hug: for Hurdity & Greyhoundgal - Dads are so precious aren't they :'( :'(
Pets are special too :'( :'(

A wee bit late, but I have been thinking of my dad today, we'll 14th, would have been his birthday. Gone now 11 years august past, sometimes still feels like very recent.

It's been a hard few years,mum,dad,brother,6 dogs - really find it hard to cope sometimes,miss them all so much :'(

I didn't have a relationship with my Dad. He was there. An ominous prescence :'( and 7 years down the line, I am more aware of why he was as he was :'(

He would have been 92 today
Off to the crem in a mo
Maybe then I wont feel so low. :'( :'(

-
I haven't posted much of late as I've been feeling very low. My other beautiful cat who is on my posts, has vanished these past 2 weeks. I really haven't got the heart to have another cat as we've lost 2 now.
My thoughts go out to all who have lost loved ones. It's the love that matters.
-
Vanished :o ....... it's the not knowing :hug: and like you, I don't want to go through it all again :'( Have you put out a message on your local radio etc.?
-
Hi CLKD, yes we did all that we could but I know she's gone and yes it hurts not knowing. There is no closure. Thank you for the hug x
-
Local radio; vet's; pet stores; village shops; posties (who have their eyes/ears to the ground ;)); schools; PetSearch? It really is the not knowing :'(
-
I lost a cat when I moved to this house 17 years ago.
I had two and they both went off for a couple of days,but only one came back.
I rang the radio station,paper,put up signs in the village but to no avail.
Missed him so much,although I loved them both, he was my favourite there was something about him.

I just want to say how very very much I miss my dear mum and Dad
Mums been gone 3 yrs ago Dad 25 yes

Been missing my Dad, who died 2 years ago at the beginning of February, very much these last few weeks. Another of our old caravanning friends died last week - talking about our weekends together and the laughs we've had in so many fields made Dad's loss vivid and painful again. Miss you and love you Dad, always.
-
Happy Birthday to my brother - he would have been 48 today. I only found out last week from reading through some of Mum's old diaries that he died the day after my birthday and although their hearts must have been breaking in two they still gave me the birthday party they had already organised (1966) :'( :'(
-
Looking after the living …….. important to keep a sense of 'normality' at a sad time :hug:
-
Been thinking of my Mum today as it was 12 years ago exactly that she "flipped" & was put into a "special" hospital for 3 months, then transferred to an EMI home where she lived for 3 years.
She never recalled that day, she must have blocked it from her memory (shame we couldn't).
It wasn't her fault but it was a horrible, horrible day & one I shall never forget - sadly she is no longer with us.
Dementia (cardio/vascular), an awful, awful thing to witness - but even worse to have.
-
:tulips2:
-
Don't know if this is the right place, but my thoughts today are very much with the families of the 96, and all others affected by those horrible events 25 years ago. It was the day of my first marriage, but my abiding memory of the day has always been those scenes - may they never walk alone.
-

Thinking of my father who died 11 years ago today while I was away and couldn't be near him. I can't believe it has been another year already.
He loved this modern folk song which I used to sing and play on the guitar ... can't find the version I used to know sung by Maggie Holland, but the first one of these two sung by Nic Jones is similar.

Also thinking of anyone who has lost someone close to them recently.....
