I found this beautiful poem on my Gran’s order of service mum had kept. Love you mum, Nikki xxx You can shed a tear that she has gone, Or you can smile because she lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that she had left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she has gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, Or you can do want she’d want…. Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
