When a white feather appears
your loved ones are near!
I have a little collection of small white fluffy feathers that I have found
in the must unexpected places. I know these are tokens of support from my lost loved ones.
Maybe `lost` is the wrong word!. I know exactly where they are, for they`ve been given their wings and now reside with the heavenly hosts. I also know I wish they were still here with me!
On bad days, when I am low in spirits and very troubled or stressed, I come across a little white feather, gentle placed near by to what I am working on or in a box or even next to my laptop. It lifts my heart to know my angel is close by watching over me and I thank them.
I don`t go looking for them, they just sit there waiting for me to find them. I treasure each and everyone of them for they are special to me.
So if you are feeling lonely, sad, stressed or just feeling low, never fear, your loved ones will be near and want to show they care, so they leave a precious feather just for you.
Sending you all hugs
Lissie

Dreams
Losing a partner is hard, but what makes it harder is when you have children too.
When Steve died, our four children needed support, They were young between 8 and 15 and missing their father very much. That help fell to me even though I was grieving too.
I managed to get some bereavement counselling for them and sadly forgot to look after myself.
As time went by, I grew lonely but seeing my children start to look to the future, with college, senior school.... it was wonderful to hear laughter and the light in their eyes.
I carried on as best I could, supporting them, smiling and laughing, praising their successes and listening to the worries …. as any parent would do. Normality was very important to me.
There were good days as well as bad one, but I carried on along life`s road and hoped it would get better. I just needed to reach the horizon, or turn the next corner to see the light, but that has never happened … yet!!
My children mean the world to me, they have the dreams and are beginning to get on with their lives. I`m proud of them all.
However, where does that leave me? How can I move on and follow my dreams? I know where I would like to be, but I have to put my family first. I have put my dreams on hold for the last 13 years. I`m getting older and tired, my health is not as good as it was and I would love to follow my dreams while I still can. Maybe one day I will.... who knows.
The thing is … we must never give up. Things have a way of sorting themselves out in ways that we would never see or understand at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!!
Always keep those dreams in your heart and keep them alive and "you shall go to the ball"
I know I will get to have my dream, just not at the moment.
Always believe and you`re half way there ❤

Calmness
a tender moment
set a side in silence
found amongst chaos
in a world of violence
sounds of gentle ripples
caught in the sun light
lapping at the shore
creating mystic flight
with shadows moving
as the evening commences
offering some solitude
creating mystic flight
with shadows moving
as the evening commences
offering some solitude
bringing peace to the senses

Birthday wishes Bubbles and Squeak
Purrfect Birthday Wishes!
Can`t believe its another birthday
you both still look like young cats
bright eyed and full of energy
scampering about like acrobats
remembering the day you arrived
two tiny frightened balls of fur
lots of games and little mishaps
ending with cuddles with a purr
so today will be full of little treats
now you`re 16 and full of mystique
may your day be filled with fun
Happy Birthday Bubbles and squeak

Mum, my Angel
Mum, my Angel!
Just to say "I love you Mum"
would mean the world to me
but since the angels gave you wings
I`ll share my love through poetry
popping round to have a chat
and share a cup of coffee too
we`d put right the world`s troubles
I`ll cherish those days forever
I miss your love and wisdom
your kindness and caring manner
now your free from earthy stress
bet you're full of heavenly glamour
on this, your birthday mum
I`m sending all my love your way
wish I could share a coffee with you
as we celebrate your special day!

Happy Birthday Mum
love and miss you always
