This woman was an amazing lady. Even though she had alot to put up with since she had her fisrt stroke on 2nd December 2006, she smiled through all of it. Her family meant the world to her. She was a loving wife to James Emmerson for nearly 59 years. She missed this anniversary by just 8 days. She always put us first. I was one of her 4 grandchildren, and we always felt loved by her. She helped raise me and my sister, so she was like another mum to us. She will be forever missed by everyone who knew her. She touched everyone's heart. My sister set up and wrote the first part of our Grandma's page like our Grandma and Mum she is an amazing young woman she's only 14 and shes said I can add to the story of Mary so here goes Mary was born on the 3rd March 1923 the middle child of 3 her mum was a nurse & a Housewife her Dad a Coal Miner, Mary was a very intelligant woman in a time when women were destined to be housewives and instilled education into her children even as a young girl the fighting spirit that would serve her well in later life was there she suffered a bad bought of diptheria as a child and was in hospital for a long time because of it with doctors saying she wouldnt pull through, but as usual she proved people wrong about her and made a full recovery in 1939 at the age of 16 she voluntered to join the ATS where she was sent to work in Kent as a Office Clerk & Stock Control where she stayed till the war ended in March 1948 she met Jim our Granddad and they married on the 25th of September that year who she was with for 59 yrs they had two Daughters together and between them they gave them 6 Grandchildren although dont expect to see them on this page 2 of our Cousins died 1 as a result of a cot death the other 2 and there mother walked out of our lives 10 years ago for reasons unknown and that broke Marys heart but our mum Susan Myself and sister are regular visitors our mum moved in to look after Grandma 16 yr ago as she wasnt as young as she used to be although she was very independant arthritus had took a bit of a hold from 1989 Mary had 4 heart attacks but again she came through it she really was a very brave woman on the 2nd December 2006 she suffered a massive Stroke that paralysed her down her right side and took out her speach and swallow although she regained some swallow in the 12 weeks she was on the Stroke Unit what shocked everyone was the resilliance she had she never cried or moaned and always smiled through it for us she came home on Valentines day 2007 and our mum Susan and myself became her full time careres a job we would have done till the end of time given the chance in June we noticed a mark on her right foot that looked like a massive blood blister that the District Nurses blamed on our level of Care something we argueed against we knew they were wrong but something we would learn to our cost when they get a idea in there heads you cant shift it after 3 weeks of begging the district nurses daily and our GP weekly we phoned an ambulance because Mary had had nothing to eat and very little to drink for 3 weeks our GP told us that she was 84 let her go but as long as she fought we would and when we got her to hospital she had a massive pneumonia a common problem in stroke victims and had lost her swallow completely another 2 weeks passed before they feed her with an NG tube because the nurses wernt sure but with some help from PALS we got a PEG tube fitted so we could feed her through her stomach it was there that they realised her foot which now resembled a scene from CSI was a form of Gangreen that bedbound people suffer from 5 weeks passed on that ward before she came home as bubbley and interactive as ever
we had her at home 3 weeks when we noticed a crackle on her Chest and yet again phoned our GP the distict Nurses and Community Matron said she was fine nothing to worry about our GP came in 3 times the week before she died The Community Matron twice and the District Nurses daily and two emergancy doctors all who gave her the all clear nothing to worry about on the 14 september after a week of constant blood chilling moaning from Mary that we were told was for attention even though it was out of character for her my mother and I went to get her ready for the day when we saw that her legs up to her waist looked like corned beef her hands were purple and she was foaming at the mouth we called an ambulance her heart stopped twice in the house and when we got her into hospital she again had a massive pneumonia as well as scepticemia and all her veins had collepsed so IV antibiotics were not an option but she tried her best to pull through and on monday the 17th September she was showing signs of progress they even started her PEG feed again the nurses came in to change her and we went out for 5 mins taking comfort in that she was getting better when we went back her face was in the pillow and she was having a second massive stroke that affected her left side and took her on to the other side we were devistated, Mary was cremated on her 59 Wedding Anniversary, her other daughter and grandchildren didnt attend they were told thery were told about her first stroke and there reply was it's her age and to be expected, please dont feel sorry for us we were lucky we knew her all our lives and that was a gift and from her first stroke to the day she died we were with her 24/7 but do i beg you listen to this, question your doctor if you think there wrong Mary trusted them and they failled her taking her blood thinning tablets off her 2 weeks before her first stroke thank you for listening sorry for banging on Carly

being to timelessness as it's to time ღ♥ღ
being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end:
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land
❦
love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear:
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart for
Yesterday and You.

A thousand words can't bring you back;
I know because I've tried.
And neither can a million tears;
I know because I've cried.

Old journey

New journey.

To Myself
Even when I forget you
I go on looking for you
I believe I would know you
I keep remembering you
sometimes long ago but then
other times I am sure you
were here a moment before
and the air is still alive
around where you were and I
think then I can recognize
you who are always the same
who pretend to be time but
you are not time and who speak
in the words but you are not
what they say you who are not
lost when I do not find you
~ W.S Merwin

god bless
*~~*~~* Is It Reality *~~*~~*
I heard you speak to me last night
I heard you plain as day
You spoke to me just like you did
Before you went away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The music of your voice
I still can hear it yet
It was so very beautiful
How could I ever forget
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I closed my eyes and saw your face
Smiling down at me
I thought, this is only a dream
It's not reality
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But these dreams sustain me
They help me to go on
When I'm asleep and dreaming
I can believe that your not gone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or are you really, here with me
When I close my eyes at night
Telling me that you're happy
Telling me you're alright

~ Why Walk When You Can Fly ~
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There's a star on the far horizon
Rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time that you're given
Why walk when you can fly?

~ Life ~
By one great Heart the Universe is stirred:
By Its strong pulse, stars climb the darkening blue;
It throbs in each fresh sunset’s changing hue,
And thrills through low sweet song of every bird:
By It, the plunging blood reds all men’s veins;
Joy feels that heart against his rapturous own,
And on It, Sorrow breathes her sharpest groan;
It bounds through gladnesses and deepest pains.
Passionless beating through all Time and Space,
Relentless, calm, majestic in Its march,
Alike, though Nature shake heaven's endless arch,
Or mans heart break, because of some dead face!
’Tis felt in sunshine greening the soft sod,
In children’s smiling, as in mothers tears;
And, for strange comfort, through the aching years,
Men’s hungry souls have named that great Heart, God!
~ Margaret Deland

Angels in my Heart
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low
When there is no one here to talk to
And no where I really want to go
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are many miles apart
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, “Everything will be just fine”
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call
An Angel’s love is always true
On that you can always depend
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend love always gail & carla XxX Author unknown
☜♡☞ The Wings That Fly Us Home ☜♡☞
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
Is a hero’s blood more righteous than a hobo’s sip of wine
☀
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun
☀
I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow
I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower
I awoke with this: a flower in my hand
☀
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone
☀
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
It lives within a star too far to dream of
It lives within each part and is the whole
☀
It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home
Fly us home, fly us home.
~ Words by Joe Henry, music by John Denver

~ One Day ~
I can see you my Angel
Through these eyes of mine
You are watching me from heaven
Oh how wonderful you shine
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
Clouds are floating past me
But I can still see you
To be with you in heaven
Would be a dream come true
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
I will patiently wait Angel
Many years may come and go
You will always be shining for me
With your heavenly glow
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
When my time on earth is through
And my eyes can no longer see you
God will open his arms and welcome me
To be in heaven with you for Eternity

~ Farewell! if ever fondest Prayer ~
Farewell! if ever fondest prayer
For other's weal avail'd on high,
Mine will not all be lost in air,
But waft thy name beyond the sky.
Twere vain to speak, to weep, to sigh:
Oh! more than tears of blood can tell,
When wrung from guilt's expiring eye,
Are in that word--Farewell!--Farewell!
These lips are mute, these eyes are dry;
But in my breast and in my brain,
Awake the pangs that pass not by,
The thought that ne'er shall sleep again.
My soul nor deigns nor dares complain
Though grief and passion there rebel;
I only know we loved in vain--
I only feel--Farewell!--Farewell!
(Lord Byron)

~ A Blessing For Absence ~
May you know that absence is full of
tender presence and that nothing
is ever lost or forgotten.
May the absences in your life
be full of eternal echo.
May you sense around you
the secret Elsewhere which holds the
presences that have left your life.
May you be generous in your embrace of loss.
May the sore of your grief turn into
a well of seamless presence.
May your compassion reach out to
the ones we never hear from and may you have
the courage to speak out for the excluded ones.
May you become the gracious
and passionate subject of your own life.
May you not disrespect your mystery
through brittle words or false belonging.
May you be embraced by God in whom
dawn and twilight are one, and may your
longing inhabit its deepest dreams
within the shelter of the Great Belonging.
(John O'Donohue)
