Written by my sister-in-law after my brother Craig, Louise his wife and their children stayed at our place for a holiday.

My family, they mean so much,
Ever sorry we fell out of touch.
I call you up from far away,
With loving thoughts to send your way.

I miss you all over there,
Hope you don't think I don't care.
I want to be there with you all,
But all that I can do is call.

I miss the laughter and the talks,
The friendly chats we had with walks.
The reminiscing over photographs,
The sharing of my children's laughs.

They often talk about your (dog) Sabre,
And tractor rides of blessed labour.
Of swimming and laughing and crying too,
When we had to say good-bye to you.

When Dad passed away we cried and mourn,
We wait for life's love to be reborn.
I try to remember all the times good,
And love you all like a sister should.

We hope to see you sooner than later,
I never was a patient waiter.
I loved our '99 new year,
Love you and wish you all good cheer.

Louise.
