Betty Rose

Things I loved about you:

You made the best roast potatoes in the world

You used to tickle my arm while we sat on the sofa watching TV

Your laugh was infectious

We used to sing all the way on long journeys

You always had those fruit sweets in a tin dusted with caster sugar and you always let me have the red ones

You let me rent grease a million times from the video rental store, you also let me watch a million times

You used to use pennies in your suspenders to hold your stockings up

You always let me sneak in bed with you late at night

You introduced me to pie n mash 

As a treat we used to get Grandad to drive us to macdonalds for chicken nuggets

You passed your driving test but never drove and used to tell Grandad how to drive all the time. 'Big pedal Ted, big pedal' 'Give it the gas'

You used to give me babycham at Christmas

You always had red robins on the Christmas tree

I miss you every day! I like to pretend you are just down at the bungalow at st osyths and you will be back soon or I can come and play 3 card brag or new market with you at the weekend like we used to do! I bet that's where you are! Playing cards and drinking brandy with Uncle John, Uncle Charlie, Uncle George and your mum and dad! Win all the snow for me x x x see you in heaven x x x

Things I loved about you:

You were kind, warm and loving

You had silver white hair

You had rosey checks

You always smiled

You taught me how to knit

Even though I was your step grand-daughter you never treated me differently to all your other grandchildren

I don't remember you ever being cross or angry

You taught me the Lord's Prayer

Your kitchen always smelled of home baking

You had a pantry full of interesting things and you didn't mind if I touched them

You always wore a pretty floral apron

You let me style your hair and even do a bit of back combing!

You used to go to church every Sunday come rain or shine

I wished you hadn't been in so much pain, but I was glad I got to hold your had and say good bye one last time.  I know you are safe in god's hands and now at peace x x x x

New Years resolutions . . .

Better late than never with my New Years resolution which was to blog at least once a week on my various blogs! So far I have failed on this blog and that was due to how to go about it what subjects/themes to blog about when writing a letter to heaven but I think I have cracked it for this month and my theme will be why I love/loved you!

I will aim to write a post about my departed loved ones and why I love and miss them x

I am going to start with my Nanny White as I have been talking about her with my son today and he sadly never got to meet her as she passed away before he was born.

I will be back with reasons why I love u . . . . Nanny White <3
