The world is dying, can't you see...
Without you beside me

I miss you drinking your tea..
Or unlocking the door with your keys

Stop the cars driving past...
Stop the clocks, ticking fast

The world is dying...
But you can't see
Because your not hear beside me...

The world is dying can't you see?
Without you, beside me.

I miss you, not drinking your tea.
Or unlocking the door with your keys.

The world is mean, cruel and harsh
Stop the cars driving past
Or the clocks ticking fast.

The world is dying..
But you can't see
Because you're not here beside me...

The whole world has changed.... Since you left (for the worse).

Happy Birthday...

Your favourite days... When Leslie came to do your do... Miss you so much... Your memory is not even close to fading so far...

One year since you died Mum, you said you would fade in my memory over time... you were wrong...

I remember you said when your time was near that you were actually looking forward to being with your lost family, today, I hope you all got together to celebrate your birthday. We are all well and happy, Jack is doing great in his exams and will no doubt soon be an Airline Pilot. The girls are brilliant, loving school and Laura is singing again, yes she has stars in her eyes... and I'm still doing the cooking.
Today we will eat cake and drink to the day when we'll see you again for a real knees up in the meantime Happy Birthday

Today you should be telling me about all the lovely cards and gifts you have received... about all the people that have called or dropped by and what they have been up to...

All your cards proudly displayed on your mantel piece... above your little glass of juice with a coaster on the top... a few vases of flowers on your table at the back of the room vying for your attention against the backdrop of photos...

Columbo quietly playing on the TV...

You will have bought extra food to treat people... your little tea tray will be ready to go... the milk jug in the fridge the teapot next to the kettle... your cup in position with more on stand-by...

Your hair recently coiffed, you are looking lovely... The garden is neat and tidy, the birds have been fed... The house is immaculate...

This is what should be happening today...
