I have no words 💔 since hearing of your passing I keep remembering your face, always smiling no matter how hard things were. You and Grandma were the best part of my childhood. Swingball, croquet, trips to the lesiure centre and factory shop. Grandma nodding off and waking herself up by knocking her head on the nestle of tables and us all laughing after fish and chips. Pulling up on the drive in the back of gramps fiesta and pushing the button to open the garage. Owen and Margaret’s party and the fat on the plate incident that we talked about regularly during our conversations. You never judged me - no matter what, you understood my mental health issues and despite dedicating your full life to caring for grandma you were on the phone checking in regularly. Last time I came down you gave me a heart necklace the last time I saw Grandma she gave me a bear. I’m keeping them together and as we had discussed grandma left Billy with you to take care of you and uncle Keith is sending him here to take care of me. So many things I wish I had chance to say or laugh about. Because of you I finally got my diagnosis’s and I’m grateful for everything you did for me. We never expect to wake up one day and someone we love is no longer here. The last message you sent me was love to you all 💔. I keep looking at photos and I just don’t want to believe it. I will continue to carry on in the right direction - I feel the glue of the family has now gone and there’s no one left. I’m grateful to uncle Keith for everything and most importantly letting me know. I never knew the last tine I visited would be the last 💔 I’m thinking of you every day and all the things I wish I could have told you about. I love you Aunty A - I will always remember you and as I do with grandma think about you often. Being so far away in my mind you are sat in the living room with Grandma watching the news.... the reality is breaking my heart. Rest in peace I’m so pleased you’re at peace and no longer suffering. And as I used to say as u waved me up the road on the long journey home “ I’ll be seeing you” difference was ten minutes later I would get a call both of us sniffling. And I used to say I’m 45 mins away on a plane and now you’re in my heart where I will remember you forever. ❤️
