A scolding from Gods garden

Dad I went to see you at you’re grave today
I saw the photo fading
And panic set in
I kissed the photo gently
The fear of loss within …

“ A silly move “ I hear you say
“ you know I am Still living ..”
As long as faith is in our hearts
God will keep on giving
That does not mean with gifts of gold or treasure to measure



It means with angel wings
Peace and love forever

I have to keep reminding myself that you are not in the grave , you are sitting in Gods garden my tears I need to save

What’s the use of crying or bringing back the pain
When we know you are laughing at me standing in the rain
“ woa ” you say in that knowing voice
Hold ur head up high !!!!

“ You know that I’m in heaven and that I simply did not die !!!”

“ The lord he gave me life beyond a body and a breath “

“ Cheer up and get on with jobs , stop making such a mess !!! “
“ Look after mam as best you can and don’t get tired and weary “
“ Look to the sun and smile the smile I gifted to your face “
“ And step into tomorrow , it’s life you must embrace !!!”
“ Until we meet again
In Gods garden green
You must keep on going , please don’t think I’m being mean …”

“ Fight like a winner , enjoy the ride
I look down upon you all with happiness and pride “
“ Remind all the family ill love them for all time “

Hold Jesus close to your heart
Say a daily prayer …
And then you will remember and the pain less to bare … this is not the end of life it simply is the start x

“ Im walking now with Poppy . She’s come to say hello . Where does she get the energy ? I simply do not know “

“ it’s busy up here in heaven , always lots to do , I meet people daily , people from my past , please don’t ever worry as your dad is having a blast “ ….. of course I miss you all but I’ve never really left . “ if you will stop ur crying and stop being such a pest 🌈

Goodnight god bless everyone x ❤️

Hello dad how are you keeping
While down here we are still weeping
I miss u every single day
I never understood a loss , a death , grief or a goodbye
The way I do since your final sigh
Life is hard without you home
Nothing seems the same
You are such a massive miss
No one to hug no one to kiss
Now you are beyond the wall I try to carry on and stand up tall but lord it is a mission
My very best friend
My dad my heart
Forever broken now we are apart x

Christmas gone and a brand new year
I’d like to say I’d not shed a tear
The pain continues
It will never go
We miss you so much
Of course you already know…
It is not the same without you there
Laughing and joking
In your chair
We know that you are still around but it’s hard not to hear the familiar sound
Of singing and that wonderful voice
We miss you dad and won’t let go
I just had to let you know ….you are in our thoughts and in our hearts until we meet again …we send our love and hide our pain .. soon we will see you once again xxx love you always and forever xxxxxxx
