To nana and grandad, Christmas just isn't the same without you

To Allan, love you mate, keep a sheet for me at the great d&d table in the sky, I'll bring you a pint on the way up

To Ryan, you were so young and so good it's just not fair

My Dad, my sister, and the numerous friends I have lost over the last couple of heat. Too many, too soon

Mam and Dad. First one without you, Mam. Not sure how to get through the day.

years not heat

To my beautiful mom, I never knew how much I'd miss you. Xxx

To my funny peculiar sister who loved Christmas.
And my dad, who hated it and might have been the original Scrooge!

Miss you both

To my much loved cousin. Gone a very long time, but never forgotten. Xx

My mum and dad. ❤️

To my beloved girl

Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you!

For love of you, the air, it hurts,
and my heart,
and my hat, they hurt me.

Who would buy it from me,
this ribbon I am holding,
and this sadness of cotton,
white, for making hankerchiefs with?

Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you!

You are forever in my heart my darling girl. Till the day I can walk with you again on the bridge of rainbows x

To my dad. Died two years ago. Still missed so much.

Nanny who we talked about in passing tonight. Gran and Grandad who are dearly missed as well. Xxx

My other Grandad who was rarely in my life but loved the same xx. Auntie S. V who was never part of my Christmases but my thoughts are with those closer to her.

The legend that was my “chosen brother”, his learning disabilities meant he was often under estimated but he was awesome. We never spent Christmas Day together but NYE isn’t the same without him xx

@numbersstation, that is beautiful

It is by Federico Garcia Lorca.

Nurse Phyllis (call the midwife) quoted it and said ‘if I may, the pain it costs to love, I believe it is always worth it’

It stuck with me. And I took it to mean that the grief you feel is at the same level as the love you felt for the one you are grieving for.

It is a beautiful piece of work I think.
