Thank you for accepting me into your home for the past few years. I know at times you thought I didn’t like you, but that was far from the truth. You were so kind to me and dear Shadow when we came over to visit. I just had my own problems and demons to deal with, but you were never one of them. I wish I’d known you many years earlier when we could have shared many discussions on topics I’ve since found we both had an interest in. I know you were not treated so well by so many of those around you apart from your dear daughter and the carers that looked after you towards the end. I myself was very much looking forward to the Telegram from Queen Elizabeth 2nd in a few years time, I know that would have meant so much to you too.
So, now that you are at peace dear Betty, rest assured I will look after your dear daughter, I will protect her and keep her safe. I will keep those members of the family away that are just after their own interests. That is a promise and I don’t make them often without solemnly keeping them. I will also make sure that the Grandfather Clock will be restored to full working order once things are settled. It will stand in pride of place in the hallway of your house as a lasting memory to your dear self.
Please look down on us and smile dear Betty, I will always be smiling when I look up at the stars in the night sky and try to spot the one you are. Night Night xx

28 April, 2013 at 12:54 am #519138Hoots Wilma…not many of the decent folks post nowadays sadly. Well, Betty’s funeral was last Thursday. To say it was a grand day out might seem wrong, but it was. Many more people turned up than were expected. I was in two minds if I would be able to go through the religious side of things, but I put my beliefs aside to be there for Betty’s daughter. I felt very proud that one of my Poems was read out during the service, but had to struggle to hold back some tears when it was read out. After the service we all went for a meal and it was nice to listen to the conversations of those that had known Betty many years before I met her. Several of them mentioned her coming to do their gardens, planting borders etc while in her seventies…..She loved her gardening. It was nice that the two young carers who looked after her in the final years were there, they shared their thoughts with me, asked me how Betty’s daughter had been since her passing and both had some happy tales to tell about how Betty was still herself and knew her own mind. Life goes on Wilma and I hope all is well with you and those you love, take care and keep safe.
28 April, 2013 at 11:51 am #519139I just wanted to thank Poet and Wilma for their kind words after the death of my mother. She was a lovely lady and I will miss her loads, the house seems so empty without her. I don’t know what I would have done without Poets help and support over the last 2 weeks, he has been my rock and for that I will always be grateful.
28 April, 2013 at 5:59 pm #519140That is the beauty of a chatsite……. strong friendships are often made……….thats why I say nothing and smile when people slate the chatsite world……..they should try it rather than listen to the sceptics.
