My nan was born Iris Evelyn Beese on 25 september 1932 and When my nan was a young lady in her early teens she met my grandad in a factory that they both worked at, grandad asked nan out but she stood him up on what should of been their 1st date but grandad didn't give up he kept on persuing her and she eventually relented and went out with him and in the end they married and went on to have 2 children my uncle Ian and my dad Gary. My nan was the heart of our family she loved her children and her grandkids Leanne, Stacey, Jack, Joe and Jade but unfortunately she became ill and she passed away on 11 may 2007. Nan had been unwell for a while but it took us ages to get her to see the doctor because she was scared. Unfortunately it was all to late she was admitted to hospital on 20 April 2007 1 week later we were told that she had cancer of the liver and that there was no hope as it had spread to her other organs sadly nan died 3 weeks to the day she was admitted into hospital. There was only one wish that nan had and that was to be brought home from hospital to be with her family and thats what we did we brought her home she was with us when she died in the early evening of 11th May 2007. My nan was an amazing lady very stubourn and she had an opinion on everything but thats why we loved her and still do, she always knew how to make me happy when I was sad she would give me a cuddle and tell me that everything would be ok because she was there to look after me and now she's gone I feel alone, My nan was my world and when she died she took a big part of me with her I only wish that I could have done more for her told her how much I loved her. I wish that I could have my cuddles now but I know that nan's up in heaven looking down and taking care of all of us because her family meant everything to her and she was our everything. I will never forget my Nan she will always be in my heart untill that day comes when I know that she will be waiting for me at the big gates asking what took me so long. I love you always and forever nan. xxxxx

Missing you

Hi Nan just wanted to say hello to you, I went to phone you the other day to tell you that I got a new job and then I remembered that you were not there anymore so I sat at your grave instead to talk to you and tell you all the news. I was going to bring flowers up but grandad keeps all the vases filled up with beautiful flowers so I knew you wouldnt mind.
Ive been thinking about you so much lately and I cant get you off my mind I wish that you were still here with me because even though Im all grown up now I could still use a cuddle of my nan, I miss you so much Nan.
You will forever be in my heart until the day comes when Im with you and I'll be safe in your arms again.
I love you forever and always
All my love Stacey xxxx

Still missing you

Nan I can believe its been 4 years already, Im still hurting and missing you so much.
I wish that you were here so that I could have a special hug and I really need one of those right now.

I wish today like I do everyday that you were still here, I dont think I will every get over losing you because you were the most precious woman in my life and the only one that I could run too when I had a problem.

It breaks my heart to know that you are never coming home Nan I miss you so much.

So today as I visited your final resting place no flowers I bring for grandad keeps your grave looking beautiful, before I left I looked to heaven with tears rolling down my cheeks and blew a kiss up above just for you Nan I hope you caught it.

I'll see you in my dreams tonight and every night untill we are together again,

I love you Nan forever sleep tight xxxxxxxxxxx

Nans Ring

The Diamond ring sat alone inside that old velvet box hidden away in my jewellery box, I slipped it on my finger and kissed it, it had been locked away for many years now my blue eyes are full of tears.

I remember the woman who wore it through my childhood and all my life, this ring which brought back memories that cut deep in my heart like a knife.

I wear your ring with pride now Nan and never take it off because I can still picture your face and hear you laugh and smile.

I whisper I love you that only you can hear. This is from a woman who loved and cared for her because this woman is my beloved Nan.

Sleep tight Nana I love you forever

sad

Hi Nan
I miss you so much, I cant stand this pain anymore I really wish that you were here, its taking all the stength I have just to carry on wiith everyday.

Its nearly four years since you closed your eyes I never thought I could hurt so much but I do nan, I sit at your grave often and talk to you as if you are still here and I know it sounds stupid and no one understands because they say I should get over it because life goes on but my life stopped when you left.

I really wish that they did trips to heaven so that I could see you one more time and have a hug as I could really do with one right now.

I love you Nan and I always will you'll forever be in my heart until we meet again.

sleep tight Nan goodnight and god bless you xxxxxxxx

Hi nan
I wish you were here Im feeling really lonely at the moment, you always knew how to make me feel better. Things are a bit difficult at home and I dont know what to do. Oh nan why did you leave me? You knew that I would never be able to cope without you, everything that I believed in all the truth and respect are now gone, even the one person that I thought would never lie to me is and thats really hurting me.

I never thought that I would feel like this again but I am and history is repeating itself but I guess I just have to pick myself up and try to carry on. I miss you so much Nan and I always will, sleep tight with the angels nan and come and visit me soon.

I love you forever and always. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You meant so much to me.

You meant so much to me Nan
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed my heart
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on my mind
Your love I will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.

I miss and love you always Nan forever in my heart xxxxxx

Happy Birthday

Hi Nan
I can honestly say that you've been on my mind since I woke up today I look at your photograph and my memories come back to life and I dont mind, I played your song this morning and through my tears I sang along I remember all the times you danced with me with no music playing I remember the simple things until I breakdown and cry but the one memory I wish that I could forget is saying goodbye. I hope that you have a very special day in heaven Nan you deserve it because you were and still are so special and I am so proud to say that you are my nan.
I miss you so much I wish I could've seen you today and given you your card and flowers instead I send big kisses up above and I know that you will catch them.
I love you forever and always Nan xxxxxxxxxxxxx
