The obituary notice of Joyce Kathleen PAXTON

I missed you quietly today. So  that no one noticed.
I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the door .
I missed you as I was cooking listening to our favourite music ,  I missed you as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.
I miss you without tears or noise or emotion.
But oh how I felt it.
I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I breathed . I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.
Yes, I missed you so quietly today.
But I felt it so loudly.

Thinking Of You Mum At Christmas

Thinking of you today, Mum but then, that's nothing new for you were thought of yesterday and will be tomorrow, too

Because you're missed so very much far more than words can say and sadly Mum, no presents, cards or hugs on Christmas Day.

Just silent tears and a special kiss blown to heaven above to thank you for a lifetime of devoted, selfless love.

And a whispered Christmas promise that on each day yet to come you will always be remembered for you meant the world to us our beautiful Mum.

Happy heavenly birthday to my beautiful mum. Eighty years ago today the world was blessed with your light and even though you’re not here, that light continues to shine brightly in every cherished memory and every lesson you taught me. I love and miss you more than words can say. You were chosen to leave us earlier than we ever wanted and that just broke my heart in two, but I want you to know that having you as my mum was the greatest gift of all. I will always be thinking of you and even though we are in two separate worlds we’re never far apart. Every day without you mum is a day closer that I will get to be with you again. Loving you forever xxx

WOW Mummy what a send of we gave you,we laughed we played music we danced, we cried ,but most importantly we remembered how special you were to all of us , I will never forget you as you are and always will be part of me and thankyou for being you x
