My Nan Phyllis Wimbury (nee Wilson), known as Nanny Phyl to me, died in the early hours of Christmas Eve 1988 at the age of 58. She had a brain hemmorhage.
She had my dad Martyn in 1962 and another three children too. One, Clive, was born in 1955 and two daughters, Jane and Grace were born in 1966 and 1967 respectively. Nan was a housewife. They lived in Kashmir Road in Charlton, SE London.
RIP Nanny Phyl. I was only three when you died but I can't complain. I had those three precious years with you. Ellis, Emma and Elliot have been born since you died. You know that though, you are still watching over us after all. Thank you for sending Elliot to Jane and the rest of us. The first boy born since my dad and he's absolutely brilliant. He is now six and doing very well at school. Clive's only daughter Emma has just left school at 16, and my sister Ellis is now 14 and still in school.
Happy birthday Nanny
You're 78 today Nanny. Happy birthday. Love always. Your ever loving granddaughter Domine and the rest of us! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello Nanny
Hello Nanny. Thought I had better come and see you. Haven't been on here for a while - naughty of me isn't it! I'm sorry for not coming on here for ages. I still think of you everyday. It's your 78th birthday soon. If only you were still alive, we would have such fun with Elliot and everyone else.
Elliot is seven and in Year 2 at school. He got 100% attendance and a certificate for it last year for Year 1. No chance of that this year! That kid has been in the wars loads of times since September. He's either been ill or hurt himself. He fell over in the classroom today and banged his head badly on a table. Jane was with me at the dentists at the time so John went to get him. I had to have three fillingsput in! It didn't hurt though. I didn't know I was having them today. I thought it was going to be a while yet. I'm glad I got them. No more painful teeth!
I suppose you know that I got diagnosed with autism in March 2007. That has been a weight off all our shoulders. We now know why I used to behave badly and know how to stop it now. I haven't been bad for ages! The doors are saved as is the bath panel.
Dad's fast asleep on the settee after watching football! His shed's coming along nicely. Mum's gone to bed and Ellis went to bed a couple of hours ago. I must remember to buy more flowers for your mini garden Jane and John helped me put in for Dad two years ago. I don't like how they are. I want them alive, just like I want you alive. If they are alive, you are alive as well to me.
Love you so much
Domine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

a letter from heaven sent to comfort you
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Missing you lots
Hi Nan. Nearly 20 years (!) have gone by since you died but you live on in our lives. I hope the dogs Ben and Brig are OK. I'm sure they are with you, my lovely Nan, looking after them for us. I know you would be glad to hear that Christmas is better for us again now. You wouldn't want us to be upset all the time.
I can't believe it was 1988 when we all last saw you. I can remember you so clearly it is unbelievable. The way you used to stand at the gate waving to me when I would leave your house to go back to my flat after a great Saturday visiting you and Granddad John. We always used to visit the now closed Penny Gees in Charlton Village too. What a great shop! The shop front of that store is still embedded in my mind to this day.
I hope you are OK wherever you are and I know you are looking down on us proudly. Miss you and love you lots Nanny Phyl. Your first grandchild Domine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
