In Memoriam for Lynn CARTLEDGE - HELPS

10 whole years have gone by, and I still feel she's just on holiday! For the last 10 years, I've often thought was that day real how did we see what we saw! I spoke to her a few days before when I visited her in hospital she gave me some sweets and told me not to forget her chocolate birthday cake. Never did I think a few days later she'd be gone. She wasn't just an auntie to me she was a loyal friend and sometimes a bit of a second mum. I loved spending time with her she always cheered me up. A piece of me definitely went with her too because nothings the same there's been times in my life since when ive needed her and shes not here for me to tell her, she gave me comfort and a safe place and not to forget on many occasions a person I could count on for a few beers and a chat! Im gutted life carries on and we've had to do things without her as the hardest parts of my life ive needed her 💔 ive definitely been blessed to have her as my auntie but the time I got wasn't long enough and still to this day I feel robbed. Ill always talk about you Lynn your always in my heart! 💔 xxx

10 years today miss you everyday 💔

10 whole years without you sis
10 years without seeing you laugh talk smile and hug
It feels like yesterday since you fell asleep one last time, I’ve missed you for a lifetime love you always sis forever 52 💔💔💔

I cannot believe it has been 10 actual years since we stood together, our hearts breaking, as I watched you take her last breath and we said our goodbyes.

Ten years on, it still doesn’t feel real. I didn’t believe it was happening then, and somehow, I still can’t quite believe that it happened. How can it really be ten years since I last heard your voice, held your hand and told you I loved you?

My life changed forever that day, Mum. It has never been the same without you. A part of me went with you when you left, and there will always be a part of my heart that belongs to you.

What a cruel world this can be. You were taken from me far too soon, and no amount of time will ever make that feel fair. Ten years have passed, but I still miss you just as much. I still have moments when I want to pick up the phone and call you, tell you something that has happened, or simply hear your voice. Then I remember that I can’t, and that feeling never gets any easier.

I wonder so often what life would have been like if you were still here. All the things you would have seen, the memories we would have made and the moments I wish I could have shared with you. I wish you could have seen the person I’ve become and everything that has happened in my life especially getting married last month. More than anything, I wish I could have just one more day with you.

I’ve had to learn how to live without you, but I will never learn how to stop missing you. You are still such a huge part of me, Mum. Your love, your memories and everything you gave me will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Ten years without you, Mum, but not a single day goes by without me thinking of you or missing you.

I love you more than words could ever explain, and I always will.

I miss you every single day.

All my love, always.
Carl xxx ❤️❤️❤️
