I know how quickly the time goes--I also know that we never forget our loved ones, no matter how many years pass. Thinking of you, John.

[karl]

Thinking of you John and all the great times I'm sure you had with your mum.

I had many a laugh with mine.

[Eman]

Thoughts out to you John.

[Sandra]

A sad day for you John xx

[john]

Thanks Marian, Karl, Eman, Sandra and John for your kind thoughts. Amazing how the years fly by, I know I say that every year.

[karl]

Sandra I don't know if John would feel sad or not, or if he has got over that. I find personally I don't need an anniversary to think of loved one's who have gone.

I often think the worst part is over and that I am fine and then a song comes on the radio or I find a birthday or postcard or dad sent to me from their trips etc. I still even have a birthday card from my granny and she passed away in 1966 and I won't part with it.

I came across a picture in an album a few days ago of my mum holding my oldest nephew when he was a baby (he was 48 last week), my granny was sitting opposite and she looked so thrilled.

I don't think we ever really get over losing a loved one but the pain of the loss does go.

Does anyone else feel the same?

[mariana44]

I think the worst thing about these "Anniversaries" is that they are a reminder that another year has gone.

You never know when you will get an unexpected reminder of someone that you have lost, and often it can be painful--but I would rather have that , than to forget about them.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Although belated, special thoughts of your mum John, who we know you thought the world of.

Thank you Lena and Harry.
