Rita Boswkill, aged 66 was sadly taken away from us on the 28th July 2006, after several years of pain & suffering. Rita had 2 strokes over the several years of being ill, in & out of hospital all of the time. Rita also suffered from chronic respital problems. My nan, Rita was one of the best around, you couldnt wish for a nicer person to be your grandma!! She always lent a helping hand even when she found it hard to do some things. We were told by the doctors at one of the hospitals she was in that she was a 'cabbage'. We were told that she would never be able to walk or do anything for herself again, she would need 24 hour care everyday. My mother therefore took up the job of being her 24/7 carer. They worked together day in, day out to get my nan back to her normal self. She was never able to run or even walk alone but over the years she managed to do so many things we never thought she would!! we had faith in her but most of all she had faith in herself!!

my valentine friend

Valentine’s Day reminds me
how meaningful my feelings are for you.
You have a special place in my world
that no one else could fill.
Out of your overflowing heart,
you add color and light to my life.
You continually cross my mind,
like a precious dose of sunshine,
lighting me up inside
as I think of you
and the lasting memories
we have created together.
No Valentine gift
is as precious to me
as you are,
my Valentine friend.

xXx you were my one & only mum xXx

Mum, Life gets harder without you here each day. You were my mother, my soul mate and my partner in crime, haha! You bought so much happiness to my life, especially in the last 6 years when you lived with me & my family. You fought so hard right to the end, but could not fight any longer! I believed in you mum and you believed in yourself, look at all that YOU acheived! I miss you more and more each passing day mum and will never ever forget you! meet again in a better place where no hurt can be caused. Love always and forever xXx Sally-Ann & Pete xXx
