You always know what you had.

It's often said that you don't know what you've got until it's gone. The reality is, you always knew exactly what you had, you just didn't think that you would ever lose it.

Missing Dad at Christmas.

Missing you Dad at Christmas.

Christmas is a time of joy, but now without you Dad,
Memories surround us and it's easy to be sad.

But knowing you'll be watching with Father's gentle pride,
We'll celebrate the happiness those memories provide.

Your love is here to guide us In everything we do,
and we give thanks at Christmastime In memory of you.

In Loving Memory of Cilla Black

Surprise Surprise and Blind Date star Cilla Black has died aged 72, it was announced today. 

Remembering Loved Ones In heaven.

Keep this candle burning in memory of our loved ones in heaven.
Always in my heart, never forgotten. 

A Letter from Heaven.

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart
for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.

A Letter from Heaven, Emotional and meaningful ♥

From the original poem written by Alena Hakala Meadows.

Our Angels watch over us from heaven.

Dealing with the passing of a loved one is heartbreaking. If someone close to your heart passes away, don't think of it as a loss. They are now an angel watching over you from heaven above, giving you love, strength and the will to carry on.

I know you sleep in heaven.

I Know You Sleep In Heaven, and up there dream of me,
Waiting there for those you love, until together we will be.
I know that you're not lonely, in company of angels above,
Watching over and protecting, those left behind you love.
Written by Dave Hedges

I miss you so much.

Your loss has been so hard to bear and I miss you so much. I would trade all of my tomorrows for just one more day with you.

Cancer takes those we love.

Cancer takes those we love too early.
It hurts us deeply and the loss breaks our heart.
I'm sharing this Dove on my wall in defiance of cancer and to show those we have lost, those who have fought and those who are fighting this curse,that we are with them and united.

A tear from my heart for loved ones lost.

Shedding a tear from my heart for those who are no longer with us. Although you are gone, you are always in my heart.
Although you're gone, I do not fear,
because I know, you will always be here.
I think about you, every single day,
so your memory, will never fade away.
I'll always be thinking of you, now and forever,
for I know one day, we'll be back together.

I miss your touch.

Now that you are gone, I miss you so much,
Remembering days gone by, thinking of your touch.
Inside my heart is breaking, there's nothing I wouldn't give,
hold your hand one more time & remember how we used to live.
I never will forget you, the memories are too much,
please know that you are in my heart & that I miss your touch. 

Remembering our parents in heaven.

I share this rose in loving memory of my parents in heaven.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
Our parents live on within us, always.

What I want for Christmas can't be bought.

I believe as we get older our Christmas list gets smaller and the things we really want for the holidays can't be bought.

They live in our hearts forever.

When someone you love has passed away, never look down to the floor with sadness. Instead, keep your head held high and look to the heavens, for that is where your heart has been sent to heal itself and those who have passed will live inside our hearts forever. ~ by Dave Hedges

Perhaps they are not stars...

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” ~ Eskimo Proverb

Share if you're missing someone.

Sometimes, the smallest gesture to show how much we miss someone can be so comforting. Share this if you are missing someone right now. I just did. ~ by Dave Hedges

I really miss you.

I really miss you. Whilst you were alive you taught me many things. You taught me how to love unconditionally, you taught me how to live life to the fullest, you taught me how to have fun and laugh, you taught me how to express emotions and cry, but the one thing you never taught me was how to cope without you in my life. And I’m really missing you. ~ by Dave Hedges

Memories of the little things ~ by Dave Hedges

Memories of the little things ~ by Dave Hedges

It will be the little things that you remember.
The smiles, the laughter. The little surprises you shared and the little ways you showed you cared. Memories of the little things will push away the pain, and help you through the darkest times and make you smile again.

When someone you love passes away.

When someone you love has passed away, never look down to the floor with sadness. Instead, keep your head held high and look to the heavens, for that is where your heart has been sent to heal itself and those who have passed will live inside our hearts forever. ~ by Dave Hedges
