Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
Recieved the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning to say my mum had passed away. It was expected over the last week but was still a shock. She had a stroke a year ago and has had a few since but had a major one on Monday. I have been ironing since 3am and can't find anything else to do until I fly home on Thursday.
It's a true saying when they say you'll miss your mother when she's gone. God I wish I could have been with her.

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to you all for your kind words. Wendy has just left my house and I have come on here to say a big thanks to her.
WENDY IS ONE OF THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE YOU COULD EVER MEET.
She has been here for me the past year when I have had my sad times. What a star she is and also my other friend Farideh who has listened to me as well.
I have been looking for the correct words to say at mums funeral and have just read the verse what Wendy has wrote and I can honestly say that if anything has brought me to tears it sure was this. It sums up everything I want to say.
Thanks Wendy. I love you.xx

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
I am sorry to hear that your mother has passed away
but remember she would be very distressed to know that you are upset because you weren't there.
I am sure your mother knew very well how much you loved her and cared for her and I'm sure she felt the same way about you.
Try and remember in this sad time how much fun you had together and how much love you shared.
Your mother will never really be gone as she is carried safely in your heart always
