My Mum was one of the most amazing people in the world, she was better known as Betty Boo to those
who knew and loved her. She was so much more than a mother to me, she was my best friend. She loved
her family very much, especially my Dad Ken, they would have been married for 50 years come 14th
March 2009. She was Mother of 3, Grandmother of 6 and Great Grandmother of 4 beautiful boys,
Kerr,Charlie,Morgan & Mikey. The family will never forget how she tried to make her death as
painless as possible for all of us by making us laugh as much as possible despite being in the most
excruciating pain. She will live on in all of us! We miss her so very much.
Weekend
Well thats the boys all away for the weekend. Dad has gone up North to Inveness with the Bowling Team, he was so excited about it! John, Josh and Mitchell are away to Ayr for the football tournament that they go to every year. So it's a peacefull girlie weekend for me, yeh xx I wish I could spend it with you! Well I guess I will just need to have a wee drink for both of us eh! Love you Mum xxx
My Mum
I remember when I was young … I loved you so much, some say I was too attached to you .. I always wanted to be with you even when you went to the loo or when you where in the shower, I remember you burnt your bum as I made you move over to let me in. I used to sit in the corner of the bathroom and talk to you while you took a bath. I used to love being around you no matter where!
I grew up and moved on but my love for you never changed. I still wanted to be with you every Christmas and every birthday without exception and I did, I spent every single Christmas and birthday of my life with you until you passed away. Every important decision in my life was discussed with you. Every significant mile stone we shared together, every step I took I did so knowing that you where right behind me ready to catch me if I happened to fall. My life was complete knowing that you where always there. One thing that I am sure of is that I am who I am because of you!
On the 1st of June 2008 I lost you to Cancer. You finally lost the battle you fought for 10 weeks. I watched you deteriorate, I watched as you changed from being fiercely independent, strong and beautiful person to someone who was ravaged by this terrible illness. If I could just have a few more minutes with you to tell you that I love you and how much I miss you, I would give the world … I would give my life if it meant my Dad, my kids would never cry another a tear.. I wish that for the last second before you died you could have opened your eyes to say goodbye, or better still that your blue eyes would have stayed open, but they didn’t you where too tired you needed to rest and you fell asleep for the last time. I wish the empty feeling would leave the pit of my stomach but I guess I just need to learn to live with it; my heart has been broken forever. I will love you for eternity xxxxx
Happy Easter Mum
Well it's Easter Sunday and all the kids are on their way as we are having a BBQ. Dad will be here with us all missing you as always. I had a dilema about today, however I think you sorted that for me as it now seems fine in my head and it really wasn't! Anyway Mum i'm sure you did sort it for me so thank you as it makes life so much easier for everyone!
I adore you Mum and would do anything to have you here with us today and everyday.
I miss you so much!
Forever your best friend and daughter Liz xxxx

Life is Hard Without you
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Missing you more with each new day
and trying to be brave...
Thinking of our happy times
and all the love you gave...
Feeling very grateful
for the dreams we saw come true,
For every lovely thing we shared
and, most of all, for you...
Treasuring each memory
that keeps you ever near...
Remembering familiar things
and wishing you were here.
Life's very hard without you
but that is the price to pay
For all the shared and precious times
grief cannot take away.
Family
I was invited over to Auntie Ellies for lunch on Saturday as it was her birthday. All her gils turned up with their other half and their kids. It was so nice being part of a famiy again and yet so hard watching them cuddle and kiss their Mum knowing that I can never do that again.I have cried buckets ever since as I ache to hold you in my arms. I just can't say how hard it is to live without you Mum. Your baby girl for eternity xxxxx
Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*
SLEEP TIGHT ANGEL
love always margo xxxx
Edit
Sitting here remembering,
The smile upon your face
And how it made the world light up
You were full of heavenly grace.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
No longer can I see your face
For you are with God above
But your loving smile will always be
Tucked in my heart with love.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
I know you wouldn’t want to see
Me crying the way I do,
But losing you was a part of me
And days, I can’t make it through.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
Do you hear me crying?
It’s because some days I’m down
I look around for you,
But you’re nowhere to be found.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
Only pictures now remain of you;
Special songs that meant so much
So if you hear me crying,
It’s because I can’t feel your touch.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
Sometimes I think I see you,
On a crowded street or mall.
I then run up and call your name,
But it wasn’t you at all.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
My heart still aches in sadness
And tears, oh how they flow!
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
So, if you hear me crying,
It’s something I can’t control
Just understand my darling,
When I’m again with you, I’ll be whole.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
