My mother suffered from a genetic mental illness for most of her adult life, she spent a lot of time in mental institutions in Dublin when I was growing up and so it was very hard to have a normal mother daughter relationship. She had a very hard life and I hope she is happy now in the arms of jesus and with my dad.......love you mammy god bless
Happy Birthday mam hope you are having a party in heaven, Simon your grandson shares your birthday 27 today please watch over him and keep him safe in his new life in Germany love and miss you LOADS

Dash Poem by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on his tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of his birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered the most of all
Was the dash between those years
For the dash represents all the time
That he spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved him
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
I thought of you with love 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 are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.
12 years ago today you left mammy, you are free now for that horrible mental illness that had you in its grip most of your life, god bless sleep tight love and miss you LOADS

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord make me an instrument of thy peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is giving, that we receive, it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned, it is in dying, that we are born to eternal life.

They say time heals but is that so?
For as each day passes, we miss you so.
We miss that smile, that warmth, that touch.
We miss the Helen we love so much.

Please don't be unhappy,
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it's not many years
I don't want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.
I haven't really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I'm closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name
I'm standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
But there's nothing I can do.
But I'll still send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when your time comes to cross over,
I'll be there to take your hand.
LOTS OF LOVE SENT TO A VERY SPECIAL ANGEL

FOR A VERY SPECIAL MUM
You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
