Grandparents Grandparents are special people With wisdom and pride They are always offering love and kindness And are always there to guide. They often make you feel so confident and strong. Their arms are always open no matter what you did wrong They try to help in every way that they can. They love all their grandchildren the same whether your child, woman or man. They hold all their grandchildren in their hearts whether with wings or here on earth. They are always there to listen And to lend a helping hand. They show you respect And try to understand. They give their love, devotion and so much more It’s easy to see. Grandparents, what perfect examples of the kind of person we should be. Well I hope you are all managing to get petrol and avoid the roadblocks on the M25, as always, I send you all my love and please stay safe. Heather White ICCM President
tales of a cemetery registrar Where has that summer gone? It seems a long time since the spring bird song. The warm sunny days - with the warm sunny haze. I brace myself now for thick socks, Boots with no holes and graves without rocks. I remind myself - it’s a short wait with summer around the corner Until then - I’ll put on a brave face and just pretend its warmer.
