To my dear nan,
I hope that somehow, and in some way, you can see what I have written here.
You to me were the most precious and sparkling gem, full of beauty and radiance. You were that little bit extra that people take for granted. The salt on their chips, the breeze on a warm day, the umbrella in a storm. You to me were my breath.
I haven't been able to get over your passing. I cry almost every day, I find it harder and harder as time goes by. Time is NOT a healer to me. To me, it's a way of remembering even more things that make me realise just how much I have lost since losing you.
When I was a child, I didn't understand your brand of humour, but now, as an adult, I have exactly the same kind of wit and sarcasm that it took me a decade to understand. I thank you and my mother for my beautiful eyes, my charisma, my poetic nature and my vocabulary.
I think about you every single day and I can't believe that someone who was loved by so many, (My nan was a loving mother, wife, grandma, great grandma and sister) was taken by such a cruel disease. I saw you two days before you succumbed and though you were in extreme agony, you were still laughing and joking with me, doing Spock impersonations and showing me your photographs of you when you were young, with my grandad. Pics of my mum and my uncle Karl as children. You were so proud of your family, even though you were too stubborn to show it at times.
You were and still are, the best Grandma I could have ever wished for. Thank you so much for being one of the first people to contact me when my daughter was born. Even though we hadn't spoken for many years, you were there for me. You knitted beautiful clothes for her, and crocheted the most beautiful cream shawl. I never forgot that and I made sure to call you for at least an hour, 3 times a week.
We had such a laugh. We'd rant, laugh, be sarcastic to each other and share our secrets and memories. Now that you are gone, my life has stood still. I talk about you constantly to everyone I meet. Though you met Emilie only once when she was 1, and you left us on her 2nd birthday, I will always remember how excited you were at meeting ''your little snowdrop''. I will make sure that she always remembers how wonderful her beautiful Great-grandma is.
I love you so much nan. I have written 3 songs about you and tons of poems. I hope you are waiting for us. Rest in Peace. Goodbye. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Nanna Jill.
Dear Nan,
3 years today and still it doesn't get any easier. Yesterday I cried like a baby and held your pictures so I could have you near... Somehow. You will never mean any less to me, no matter how much time goes by. You will always be my beautiful and precious Grandma. Happy 3rd Angel anniversary Nanna... I love you so much. @}-->-->--

My nan, a song I wrote for you x
There's a cold, precious memory, of us.
Both alone in the dark...
No-one can hurt us...
We could smile, stare at clouds for, a while...
Pick a star out, just smile...
No-one can hurt us...
Here just alone... There's no-one but us...
Holding, my phone... I call, I need you but I know...
You're not there...
I'm alone in my mind... We were two of a kind...
And no-one could hurt us...
Now alone, I speak memories of you
and the things that we'd do
and how no-one could hurt us now.
Nanna, I miss you.
Nanna, the time has gone by oh so fast,
but you're still shining strong in my heart.
As the day turns to night, and the night turns to day,
I think of our time spent apart.
I miss you so much and I wish you were here,
Another tear forms in my eyes,
As I think of the time that you sobbed in my arms,
as we parted and said last goodbyes.
Nanna, I miss you, I need you so bad,
I cry as I look at your face,
and the only thing bringing that smile to my lips,
Is that you're in a much better place.
I love you so much nan, I think about you every day. I wish you were here so we could do all the things we never got a chance to do. I miss you so badly. I love you. Janine x

Heavens Door.
If I could see you one last time,
If I could hold you near,
If I could smell your hair once more,
If I could catch your tear.
If I could write sweet poetry,
If I could sing a song,
If I could see you, without pain,
and say there's nothing wrong.
I miss you so much, Nanna Jill,
You're always in my mind,
and even though I speak of you,
the words are hard to find.
I promised you that i'd be strong,
I held you when you'd cry,
because you said you'd not be there,
you knew that you would die.
You cried because you'd miss me,
i'd never seen you weak,
I'd never been so at a loss,
I really couldn't speak.
Instead I held you, kissed your head,
I told you i'd be strong,
I promised you we'd fight it, both,
I've never been so wrong..
I'm weak right now, i'm vulnerable,
My smile has turned to tears,
because I think of what i've loved,
yet lost throuhout the years.
I hope one day, i'll get to see,
your sparkling eyes once more,
and when it's time for us to meet,
you'll be waiting at heavens' door...
A THOUSAND TIMES WE'VE NEEDED YOU
A THOUSAND TIMES WE'VE CRIED
IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU
YOU WOULD NEVER OF DIED
A HEART OF GOLD STOPPED BEATING
TWO TWINKLING EYES CLOSED TO REST
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
NEVER A DAY GOES BY THAT YOUR NOT IN MY HEART AND SOUL.
