from your number 2 daughter Kelly 07/03/09 7th March 2009

Oh where to start!?! begin at the beginning always a good place to start!! My mum, my friend, my guide, my advisor, my shelter, my comforter ......... the list is never ending. From when I was a wee girl there were two things i wanted more than anything in the world - to be a teacher and to be someone just like my mum, somebody who everybody loved, was sensible, fun loving and a wonderful family person. These are the saddest times but also the strongest times in making sure that we are still continuing in the same strong, family way that us Chisholms always have done. As Lesley says never a moment are you not in my head mum, wether your telling me off for silly wee things im doing or wether youre still giving me advice n hugs n comfort i can still feel you with me. Miss you millions mum and im so glad we told you many times that you were actually the best mum in the world. i found a poem that just describes everythin we're all felling just now - Our Hearts Will Always Touch When I laid there beside you, Could you feel me there? My arms were wrapped around you, And I was stroking your hair. I was talking about all the good times, For me they were every single day. I wanted you to feel love and comfort, And happy in some way. I watched your every breath, And prayed that each one wasn't your last. The time we got to share together, Went by too quick...Too fast. I wanted you to wake up, Please Mum...Open your eyes. Tell me this is a nightmare, And not our goodbyes. As your last breath grew closer, We layer there peacefully together. My heart continually breaking, Because I wanted you forever. Then there it was, Your final breath of air. I didn't want to believe it, This is so cruel and not fair. I held your beautiful face, And prayed you'd breath again. I wasn't ready for you to go, I couldn't admit that this was the end. But then I realized that you were now in peace, And not suffering anymore. You were beginning the life of an Angel, And your body would no longer be sore. I held you close and squeezed you tight, And tried to say goodbye. I've lost my Mum and my number one best friend, All my heart could do is cry. I slowly got up, I wanted so much to stay. I leaned over and gave you one more kiss, It was so hard to walk away. Mum you are my entire world, And I miss you so very much. I wish I could feel your loveable cuddle, And your soft and gentle touch. But for now I have to wait, Until we meet again. You will always be in my heart and thoughts, My dear Mum and best friend. Always and Forever, Our hearts will always touch. Always and Forever, Your baby girl loves you so much. Love to the moon and back forever Kelly xxx
