My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it; there was nothing I could say.
You've touched my life so deeply to a point
you will never know,
I try to think about you when I am feeling
down and low.
Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
and if I listen hard enough I will hear your voice after a while.

I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
but when I call your name there is no reply any more!

I never thought a day would come
where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings,
we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
your beautiful smile is gone,
but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed,
but most importantly... loved.

Just one more minute, God, is all I ask-
why can't you give him back,
it seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right when they say
God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Hello nana, please forgive me for being angry with you when Imran died. I know that it was not your fault but I didn't want to talk to you because somewhere in my crazy head I thought that you should have saved him and not taken him home with you. I thought you knew that I cannot live without him and you could have put a good word for me and sent him back.........so please forgive me for that.

I still remember the day you left......Ashlen phoned to say that you were not well and we rushed over. I was expecting Aadhil but I never thought for a second that you were never gonna see him. I cried at your bedside trying to get you up but you were already gone.

I will remember you always especially at parties when you would give your famous looooooooong speeches and we would laugh 'cos we could take a break while you spoke and when you hit the dance floor (yep at your age you could still dance, no offence nana you were always young at heart) we knew that you would pull us to dance with you. I remember doing the foxtrot with you and I was being pulled and swirled 'cos I did not know the dance but you thought I did very well........and I also remember all the nicknames you kept for us (no I won't mention those names here)but somehow it made us feel special 'cos those were unique names and NO-ONE in this world were called that.....those were the good ol' days.

Thinking back I realise how much I miss you and going down memory lane brings back fond childhood memories with you......so thank you nana for everything. I have learn't a lot from you and someday I will thank you in person........

So goodbye for now nana and please watch over Imran for me until I get my one way ticket to heaven.I'm sure Imran is catching up on old times with Philip - it's amazing how their paths crossed.

P.S. You also have lots of new great grandchildren now(I'm losing count) my memory is not how it used to be but I will include some pics for you.

Sweet dreams........
