I have a large family and of all my aunts and uncles she has always been the one I could talk to about anything. No judgement and always spoke her mind and offered good advice. It was the reason she was top of my list for godparents when I had my first born. She once described me as the daughter she never had (she had 6 boys) and if I’m honest I had the kinda relationship with her that I wish I had with my own mum. She is awesome and when I lost my brothers he sent me one of her beauty poems then which really helped...

Heaven Awaits You

What can I say about you
That no ones said before
How can I raise a smile or two
As you knock Heavens door
When all the while I’ll miss you
And sometimes, yes, I’ll cry
As you were taken far to soon
I have to ask it, why?

Why, when others live they’re life
Rotten to the core
The good Lord sought to take you
To knock on Heavens door
I guess he had his reasons
Of which we know not why
That he recalled you back to him
Somewhere up on high.

You’ll liven up the atmosphere
As you take to the floor
To raise a glass to us on earth
From inside Heavens door
Whilst we are left with memories
To fill the place of you
The smile, the laugh, that look of yours
From someone good and true.

You never were an Angel
But you still ticked the score
To leave this earth for pastures new
Your place at Heavens door
Our hearts will always hold you
Today with tears and pain
But we’ll hold fast our memories
Until we meet again.

One day the sun will shine for us
Just like it did before
And we will look towards the sky
Our glimpse at Heavens door
Where you will stand there waiting
A smile upon your face
A loving hand to greet us all
As we too, take our place.
