Alex and Janet both died within 3 years of each other, Alex on the 8th March 1983 and Janet on 23rd March 1986. They were a completely devoted couple and I am proud to say they were my grand-parents who brought me up from birth and were the only parents I ever knew and loved and cared about very much. I still miss them dearly and wish I had them to talk to today. They are far too important ever to forget. They were a loving and devoted couple and after Alex died a lot of Janet died too. She carried on with life for just over 3 years but the call of being reunited with her Alex was just too strong and she joined him 3 years and 15 days after him. Alex died peacefully in his sleep as he suffered a lot from angina, Janet died from a heart attack. They both died as they lived, quietly and with no fuss. They are together now and hopefully in a better place and are as happy as they were with each other in this world.
New Year
If we were able to turn back the years we would be on our way to Dallas tomorrow and spend the New Year at the Mill, mam, you would play the piano, we would all be singing, folk from the village would visit, Uncle Douglas would play the fiddle, always smiling faces and lovely people. I would always pick a little bunch of snowdrops from under the weeping willow tree in the orchard on New Year's Day for you and Auntie Tibbie. Have a lovely party with all your friends and I will be thinking of you as always xxxx
Approval
Well Mam and Dad, I hope you approve of my new change of career. I love working in my new job and finally feel as if I am contributing something worthwhile at last. As long as I have your approval I'll be happy, xxx
Together Forever
I don't need any special day to remember you both. You are in my thoughts every day and in everything I do. I know you are together again and happy as you always were. Amor vincit omnia....love conquers all.xxx
Easter
Remember painting hard boiled eggs with funny faces and us going to Lossiemouth to roll them down little hills. It was always sunny and we would lay flowers at your Mam's grave. I would usually make myself sick with all the chocolate eggs I had already eaten! I hope you are having a happy time and remember I love and miss you both every day. xxx
In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss. My nan passed away last year 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.
