Paddy’s Little Girl
(By Cassie, age 17)

Time is running out,
It’s almost time to part,
But you’ll always hold your place,
Deep inside my heart

I’m scared and I’m lonely,
I don’t know what to do,
But I’ll be ok daddy,
And mummy will be too.

Don’t worry about my brother,
Or your dear Grandson,
Because you will be watching out for us
From way up above.

Brother will take care of us,
Of mummy, sister and me.
He will always be around
To make sure we’re happy

And don’t worry Daddy,
I never will forget,
Everything you taught me.
Everything I am.

And Daddy, just so you know,
No matter what they say
I’ll always be your little girl
For eternity, till my last day.

    I know a whole family who went together and got the name of the person who died tattoed on them. I think it was an amazing way for them to remember and honour them together.

    I think its all about keeping certain favourite and important traditions alive. For me Christmas was my mums favourite time of the year-We ALWAYS went overboard with the tree decorating and table decorations. The decorating looked like our house was out of a magazine. Mum and I use to do it all. After she died I kept the Christmas traditions (for example) alive and still decorate using the same things each year. Last year I moved in with one of my best friends and her parents (my second family) and I even got to decorate the table in their house with mums decorations. This made my first Christmas out of the family home extra special and made me feel that connection still with my mum.

    Does anyone have some 'crazy' traditions they do? I would love to hear them...especially things around death anniversaries, birthdays, mothers/fathers day etc...

    There a website called The Living Years where you can create an online memorial page for someone who has died. For Now What members it's free for 12 months. Check it out: www.livingyears.com/nowwhat

    One creative idea that I've heard is to make a blanket/quilt/pillow case out of the person's old clothes. This provides an all the time reminder of that person and can be used for comfort in times when you need it. It is also a great solution to the problem of what to do with the person's old clothes.

    You can even add on iron on transfers with favourite photos of that person.
