Love and Laughter......

Granny Pearce

05 May 1933 - 07 October 2010

Rest in Peace my Dear Granny. I will always love you. You are one of the most beautiful women that I ever had the pleasure to know. I will always remember how unbelievably strong you were. How happy you were, how you loved to have us around. How you always thought we all needed to be fed because we were all too thin. I will remember the holidays we had at your house when I was a child, how much love there always was. I will always remember making apricot jam in your kitchen, how you taught us to crack the pips from the apricots to get the pectin. I will always remember how you made us jump when something scary was on TV. I will always remember you my Dear Granny.

I will always regret never bringing James to meet you Granny. I am so sorry. If I could go back in time and change things I would. I know that you were so excited when you found out that I was having a baby, and I know that even though you had never met him that you had a special place in your heart for him. I will regret never writing a letter back to you like I had promised. I kept meaning to do it, but I just never got there because I wanted to print some photos of James to send to you and something always got in the way.

I love you Granny and I will miss you. I know that you are watching us from above and smiling at me Granny. I know that if anybody on this Earth was going to Heaven that it was you Granny. You were special. You loved Everyone. You made Everyone laugh and you made time for Everyone. Nothing was more important than your family and Church Granny, and for that I will always be grateful. Here on Earth there is a big hole missing that you filled, but up in Heaven I know the Angels are singing Hallelujah, one of Angels have returned home. They are probably busy throwing a party in your honour.... and don't worry Granny I have remembered what you said, I won't mourn you, I will instead Celebrate your life. I won't wear black, I will wear bright colours and I will cook a feast fit for King (although I would think you are better than King any day.), but first I just need to find a solution for these silly tears Granny. I promise that once they stop I will celebrate you and have a party like you will never forget. The party will be filled love and laughter just the way you would have wanted it to be.

I love you Granny. xxx

(Oh and Granny if you you could have someone send me your Apricot Jam and your Cheese Spread recipe that will be much appreciated.)
