A farewell from a wonderful lass ..

My daughter in law's friend had her funeral yesterday ... she was only in her early 30s ... she left a wonderful hubby and two small children ... she used those pink boxing gloves right to the end .. she was brave and a shining star is looking down today ..  cancer may have taken her body, but it couldn't change her wonderful soul ... 

These are the words she wrote that were said yesterday ... so in this wonderful lasses honour .. I'd like to share them ...

 

YOU MOAN LESS ... AND ENJOY LIFE MORE ...  WE NEVER KNOW WHATS THROUGH THE NEXT DOOR ... 

FOR ME THE ONLY THING I WANT IS A CURE  ... CAN'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED , THAT'S FOR SURE ...

ENJOY YOUR FAMILY ... ENJOY YOUR FRIENDS ... ENJOY EVERY DAY .. NOT JUST THE WEEK ENDS ...

LIVE YOUR DREAMS  ..... DON'T WAIT TILL IT'S TOO LATE  .... MOMENTS IN YOUR DAY .... JUST APRIECIATE  ....

LIFE, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE ... LIVE IT .... NO REGRETS

FROM HANNAH ....   

 

  • Oh chriss, such beautiful words.....thank you for sharing them....xxx

  • Thank you hunny ..

    Cancer sucks big time ... but what a legacy she's left for everyone ... it's not about winning or loosing .. it's about looking it in the eye ... and not letting it change who we are ... how's you doing ... havnt been on much lately ... as it took me hard ...but always thinking of ya bud ... and always here if you want a chat .. as i know your here for me too ...  Chrissie

  • Hi Chrissie

    I know these words, and the lady who wrote them...well, I didn’t know her personally but I know who she is as we have the same cancer and I came across her story. From what I know, she was so beautiful and brave...she has 2 gorgeous children and my heart just aches for them losing their mum so young. And she went through so much dealing with this awful disease. 

    These are lovely words..thank you for sharing them here with us. xx

  • Thanks for reply .. @Minska ...  

    I only met her once, before cancer touched us both .. at her little ones birthday party .. I was picking up my granddaughter... as I waited Hannah came and sat by me for about 20 minutes... us watching those little ones having fun ... I came away feeling I'd known her forever ... she touched my heart that day ..

    Little did we know what was round the corner for us ...  my daughter in law kept me up with her journey ..  I've never preyed so hard for someone to beat this crule never-ending nasty (put lightly to what I wish I could say)  

    So from that one meeting ... a life shared ... hearts broken ... but oh my cancer should hang it's head in shame ... but she'll still be around those she loved , as she's earned her wings ...  think she'll be the angel with her pink boxing gloves on to show how brave and ausome she was ... thanks again .. 

    I wanted as many as possible to hear her story .. sending hugs to all of us kicking cancers *** ...

     

  • For her babies and their daddy too ...

     

    Your mummy will always be with you .... she's the whisper of the leaves you play with in autumn.... she's the smell of the food you remember ... flowers you pick ... and the smell of the perfume she wore ...  she'll be the cool hand on your brow when your not feeling well ... the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep ... she's the colours of the rainbow ...  

    Your mummy will live inside your laughter  ... and she'll be crystallized in every teardrop  ....she is the place you came from ...your first home ... she was your first love ... your first friend ... and she's the map you will follow through life ... nothing on earth can separate you ... you still have that invisible cord that connects you both to her forever .. 

    Sending you all a vertual hug ...  chrissie

  • Oh Chrissie this is so beautiful. Such lovely, lovely words. You have brought tears to my eyes.

    Hannah had a very rough deal...a very hard version of this disease. She did so much to try and beat it... I look at her picture often, and although.I never met her I still know she was a beautiful soul. She’ll guide her children...be in their hearts forever. I knew her name a long time ago when I joined groups for our cancer...she was a warrior and a beautiful woman who didn’t deserve this.  What you’ve said is simply lovely. xx

  • Thank you ..

    Please keep in touch ... would love to know how you go on your journey too ...just looked back on your posts .. see you've kicked cancers butt ...  so so chuffed ...  now take every day, and fill it with love and laughter ... every day is precious .....  chrissie

  • Hey Chrissie, thank you. 

    Every day is so precious...I wake up glad every single day that I am still here. Trying to make the most of life, travelling and doing things I want to do...no point in putting things off to another day in case we’re not blessed with that future day. xx
