Well where do I start?
Laura shines her light all the way from heaven. She is a shining star that will never fade. Beautiful on earth and beautiful in my heart.
Laura came to live with me when she was 15 years old and it took her no time at all to get under my skin. I love her like she is my own daughter. She was always bright and bubbly, always had something good and positive to say. She was a very clever person but always tried to pretend she wasn't. She knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. She was 19 when she died, the cancer was in her bones. She thought she'd beat it at one point, even received a bone marrow transplant from her brother. It hadn't worked though. Laura lost her fight and is now with the angels. She will never ever be forgotten though, not whilst ever I'm alive.

Still missing you

Laura, I look at your face and still don't want to believe you are gone. I just can't get my head round it. You were too young to go. It's not right. Yes love, I do still grieve for you. Nobody knows. Nobody understands. The tears still flow for you my darling. Love always Laura-Lou. Bye for now. Mum2

Allways in my heart

Hi Laura Lou. I haven't left a message for you for a while but please don't think that means I forgot about you. I love you with all my heart and will never ever forget you. I think about you all the time. So many times I feel like I'm seeing you around town or at the coast. Oh how I wish I was. Bless you Laura. Mum2

Happy Birthday big girl

Hi Laura Lou. It's been a while since I was here, but you might know that I'd be here today. I keep wanting to ask how you are, then thinking that sounds so silly. I know you'll be ok where you are. God looks after all his angels. Please remember I love you so much. We will see each other again one day. Happy Birthday darling. Forever love. Mum2.

'Gold Wrapping Paper'

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, 'This is for you, Momma.'

The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner.

'Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?'

She had tears in her eyes and said, 'Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full.'

The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.

Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family and friends... There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.



As you can see, I took choice No. 1.
Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

2 years ago today

That's when the cancer gave you no choice but to leave us. I still remember it like it was this morning. I wonder if I'll ever forget the moment. I miss you so much Laura Lou.
Your sister and I went to the cemetery today. We took you yellow roses. I hope you like them. Katie got them for you and a vase to put them in. Your mum and brother also took you flowers. They are gorgeous, just like you.
Keep with us big girl, just as you have been all this time. I love you loads. Always will. Bye for now poppet.

A sister love

Your sister did something really special for your birthday Laura Lou. She had your yellow rose tattoo'd on her shoulder with the words 'We miss you' written underneath. I know this pleases you. I know you would approve. I am so impressed with her for it.
We will add a photo of it here soon.
Love you allways.

Happy 21st Birthday Darling

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Laura
Happy Birthday to you

21 today my love. Should have been parties and merryment but instead quiet. So quiet. I miss you so much darling.

I went to the cemetery today. I took you a single yellow rose. Your mum was there, she'd stayed a while, had her lunch with you she said. She had brought you lovely flowers. Your baby brother had put Lillies in a vase for you and your gran had added a lovely bunch as well.
Your sister and neices also visited. They all played in the sunshine on the field nearby. It was wonderful for us all to be there together.
Only one was missing, one special angel. We were there for you though darling. I'm sure we made you smile.
I love you Laura Lou. Keep smiling darling.

Happy Birthday

A heart of gold stopped beating two shining eyes at rest, god broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best, god knows you had to leave us, but you did not go a lone for part of us went with you the day he took you home to some you are forgotten to others just a part of the past but to us who have loved and lost you the memory will always last.
