It was time, last evening for our very own Iris to say "Goodbye" to this world.
She was so calm and at peace.
She was surrounded by love.
She would have told us not to grieve for too long, she has had a good life.
So now we are left without her.
A time of reflection, thankfullness and adjustment.
Of course we will look back with so many memories.
We have already laughed at some and cried at others.
She took her rightful place in the order of things.
No more pain,no more loneliness and no more struggles.
I am so glad that she had her family whom she loved like a Mother does.
She loved like a Mum,a Grandma and this last year as a Great Grandma.
Thank you all so much for all your wonderfully supportive comments about my last post.
The "Circle of Life" has completed its rotation for a while for us just now.
And my big blanket is looking sweeter already,woven with happy memories and dreams of what is to come.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. What a beautiful picture of Iris and her Great Grandchild. Sure to be cherished I bet. Sue x
