Neeta and Norah, our familys are a thing we take for granted......and I just wanted to share this, and hope you both continue to have your own precious little marks to love XXXXX

Hi Lemon I have just realised with all this talk of Gaynor and fingerprints left behind, I still haven't deleted my sisterinlaw Carole from my mobile phone and she died of Br cancer in Feb. Kaz

Kaz, don't delete her till you feel ready, it is maybe another finger print that needs to stay a bit longer XXXXX

kaz,this is for you. One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: 'LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.' The LORD replied: 'My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.' bryan.

I have both my childrens paw prints on card from when they were at Nursery.... together with the poem mentioned above. x Christmas time I think they were made ... and sent home with the following years calender attached. I have them both framed now, hanging up on the wall. Elaine :_)

BRYAN, i read your message, now i know why i started going back to the church,thank you. Lemon, there is always a brightness when you are around. but you seem to be a great listener,and always have the right words to say to people. Take care to you both Helenx

Derbyshire Dancer, there is nothing more important you could hang on your wall, more priceless than any work of art XXXXX Bryan I have seen that poemn before and always liked it, it was so nice you took the time to write it for Kaz, you are a love XXXXX

Thanks for those kind words Helen, and nice to see you, love always XXXXX

Lemon, What lovely thoughts. What's a messy window pane with all that love around. Jean x.

I know Jean and just really felt glad that such a strange thing made me stop and think for a while, I love them all, but never ever thought their mess would make me realise it all over again XXXXXXX

Aw Lemon That's a lovely thought - must remember that when I have my little ray of sunshine next weekend and the weekend after - haven't seen her since July - can't wait! I wish I felt the same way about my brother who came last night and has left a huge muddy footprint on my new rug! Debby

Hi Lemon, that's a lovely story and it's made me think. I am going to get my granchildren prints on paper and put them with my family history records with there names and a picture of them as they are now. Can't wait to do it now. Gill

Oh Debbie ROFL, about the brother I mean, still at least he came with his big muddy feet lol you enjoy your precious, every second counts xx

Gill that is such a lovely idea...I may have to pinch it, those scan piccys are good too for a souvegnir. XXXXXX

That's a thought i have all my youngest gransons scanes will put those with the fingerprints. Gill

Lemon Never know what to give my parents for christmas, have got a frame that has three spaces and am going to put photos of the children in and now think will get the poem printed up nicely and get them to put their handprints on it as well. Sure they will love it after all they have everything practical they need and I'm sure it will touch them.

dawn that is a lovely idea, and if I received a present like that would be so made up, they will love it xxx

lemon my childminder that I had for my oldest gave me a poem for mothers day from Melissa and it is a treasured thing so am sure they will like it.

Thats lovely thoughts Lemon......made me think as dont see my g/children enough. Wendy.xxx
