Harry Savage was my paternal Grandfather, but in the last few years of his life - and through no fault of my own - I had no contact with him at all, something I deeply regret to this day.
My Granddad was a miner, he worked all his life in the bowels of the earth. He and my Nanna raised three sons, my Dad Kenneth was the oldest, followed closely by the twins, my beloved uncles Barry and Keith.
As a young girl I had a very close relationship with my dads family and I remember vising my Nanna and Granddad Savage every Sunday afternoon. Because my Grandparents never had a little girl and I was the first Grandchild I was twice as special to them and they never stopped telling me this.
Granddad was very much a home bird and deeply proud of his garden, it was almost his sanctuary and he would spend as much time as possible in it. I have fond memories of helping my Granddad dig up carrots for Sunday tea, getting dirty was the best part of course! I remember I loved his little blue budgie Joey so much that my Granddad let me have him to take home with me, even though he loved him too.
When I was ten my Parents went through a very embittered, acrimonious divorce and we were taken away to live where my Dad couldnt find us. I never stopped thinking about my 'other' family and one day I imagined - as a child would - we would all be reunited again.
I dont think my Mother ever realised the hurt and emotional anguish she put so many people through by taking us away from them, and she compounded this by refusing to allow me to try and contact my Dads family. Nevertheless when I was seventeen I decided against her wishes to find my estranged Grandparents. I found my Uncle first who arranged a meeting with my Granddad in a local bar.
I approached my Granddad with equal amounts of trepidation and excitement... It had been seven years since I saw the man I once looked up to, respected and cherished. My Granddad never registered my presence, he thought I was the waitress and asked me for a menu! So much for my wonderful family reunion. I never corrected him, I just turned away and left the place in tears.
That was the last time I saw him alive and that is why I have no photos of my Granddad to upload onto his memorial, although he remains in my memory to this very day.
As a final twist of irony, he died on Mothers day 1986 and was buried on my eighteenth birthday, five days later.
Harry, despite what happened between my parents, you'll always be my Granddad Savage, and I'll always love you.
I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.
I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.
I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel,
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel
Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes that I'll finally be with you

Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX
I send to you this Eve a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.
My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.
For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.
MEMORIES
�.♥.��.��. ♥.��.��.♥.��.. ♥��.♥.��.���. ♥
I have a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
I have a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you ask me how I am doing I would say just fine
But the truth is if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
After all this time you are still with me that is true
Somehow you remain so deep inside
This memory I will never ever want to hide
�.♥.��.��. ♥.��.��.♥.��.. ♥��.♥.��.���. ♥
Dear Mr Hallmark
I am writing to you from Heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my loved ones, as there finding it very hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a person who lives in heaven.
They are still my loved ones too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my family so.
They talk with me, and dream with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My loved ones carries me in there heart, there tears they hide from sight.
They write poems to honor me, sometimes long into the night
They plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
They write to other grieving familys, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr.Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind my family of there wondrous worth.
They need to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the people of earth will do.
Thank you Mr.Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me
Until I can do it for myself, when they join me in eternity
HOLD ON
Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth,
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree that stands by itself,
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from now,
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go,
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you. xxxx
