Sadly missed!

In the long view of history.
What difference will any of our lives make?
The true measure of a life, is not how many people know our name, when we die.
But weather we have touched the lives of others!

For my ex father-in-law, who passed away last Sunday morning.
You will be missed by many. RIP.

Awww, please accept my condolences to you and his family
There's me having a dig at how you haven't replied to my message to you a month ago, not realising you had much more important things on your mind
Yeah, what's in a name? If we have hopefully touched the lives of others then they will know

Thank-you for caring.
I really wasn't expecting any replies to the blog, but it seems there are people out there who care for how others may be feeling.
I would like to think, that when my time comes, I will have meant something to someone.
It's a nice feeling that we will live on in peoples hearts, long after we have left this mortal coil.
Unfortunately in life, we will hurt one or two people along the way.
But hopefully, the ones we don't, are the people that mean the world to us!

Thank-you also for your kind words.
It's just a shame that he's not around to read it in person.
I'm sure, that the rest of his family, feels the same!

Thank-you, very kindly.
I'll let you off & will get around to it soon.
Hopefully, within our lives, we will have touched peoples hearts, so that we will be remembered with love & affection, for a very long time, after we have departed from this world.

I'm sorry to hear about that.

It is easy to think that in the long term very few of us will be remembered. In the very long term, probably no one will be.

But for now, each is remembered more than they themselves realize, for good and for bad. And where, as you put it, they have touched our lives, each lesson passed to the young has the potential to grow to become part of their future.

Hi Mark
You had me in tears. T and I lost our Mother many years ago, and I still feel the pain.
Glad to see you still around.

Think I only met Glyn once, and am happy to say it was funny.

Remember I bought an SLR camera and took it to England on holiday.

There I was happily taking loads of snaps.
Was having trouble with the auto rewind of the film.

He being a camera buff said he would take the camera into his darkroom and have a look at it.

He came out and said that 'cameras work better if you put film in it first.'

Thank goodness we now have digital cameras. Even I can't do too many things wrong with mine.

Many thanks.
It's been a while since you have popped in.
Well I hope that when my time comes, people will remember me fondly. With no one saying a bad word about me.
Well with having a new grand daughter, I may be remembered for a while, after I'm gone.

    Hi,

    Am sorry to hear of your loss, I lost my mother last year so I know how it truly feels to lose somebody close. As time passes it does get easier as though my mom may be dead she is still very much alive with the many happy memories that I have of her.

    One thing she said was...Remember the dead but don't forget the living as it is they who have to find the strength to pick up and move on. I know that i have been touched by many people over the years and i have probably done the samre in return also. That's what we are here for after all !

    We don't have to make a differance but we should all try to cram in as much as we can within the short time that we are here.

    For you, I hope that you find some comfort in some of the words that I have written..Hopefully I haven't bored the crap out of you ! lol Take care and remember...It does get better ! xx Mark
Thank-you for your kind words, Mark.
As my sister has already stated, I know exactly how you feel on loosing a mother.
It sounds like your mother was a very wise woman.
You must miss her terribly, I know I miss mine still, even after all of these years.
Never put off phoning a friend or relation, for too long.
As you may just be a little too late, to tell them what they really mean to you.

He did have his moments.
I remember that day.
The look on your face was brilliant.
If there had been any film in the camera, I would have taken a picture!

Somehow you escaped from my watched list and I didn't know you had been posting.

I thought you had forgotten about me.
So I'll forgive you then.
