God lends our loved ones to us Only for a while We share some time together A laugh, a tear, a smile. And then before we know it A lifetime has unfurled, Then he takes them back again To another world. But God is never selfish He nurses them with love, Until the day we meet them once again In his garden Up above God bless you mum love always and forever This page is dedicated to my mother Elizabeth (Betty) Aitkenhead who was taken suddenly aged 59 years on 29 September 2000. I wish I could go back to the date you left this world and change it but I can't and that makes me sad because I never got the chance to say goodbye. Mum I miss you so much each day I think of you and try to remember the good times and the laughs we had because when I go to sleep that awful day comes into my head and I still have nightmares. It was the worst night of my life when I broke your door in to find you had gone from this world and there was nothing I could do for you, I felt so useless I am sorry Mum that I could not save you if only you weren't so stubborn and had listened to me and the paramedics and went to hospital that day you might still be here, but you didnt and now I have to try and remember all the good times and know there won't be anymore of them. Mum I love and miss you more with each passing day and wish I could just see you one last time to say goodbye I hope you are happy in heaven We shall always love you - you are forever in our hearts Lots of love your daughter Lorraine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
