My Mum Catherine or as she was known to her friends Big Kate ! It certainly wasn't a name she got from being tall, she was a big woman in every meaning of the word, when she was in the room you knew she was there, she had a voracious laugh one that i will never forget and she was the most demanding Mum in the world, if it wasnt within reach then it was of no use to her, someone else had to do or get it for her, i have an older brother James and two sisters Linda and Carolann one older and one younger, my Mums first love was a man by the name of Bill Ramsay who unfortunately died on active service in the second world war, i don't think she ever got over losing him, she then met and fell in love with Tony Brown who she also loved until her untimely death, as she often spoke of him affectionately, more so when she was having a row with my Dad, then again maybe that was just to wind him up but on hindsight, i genuinely think she still cared for him, after all she had two children to him, James and Linda, he was forever in her mind even though they had parted on bad terms, but that was just my Mum she was a good person and thought everyone else should be the same. Then came along Martin Mailley Snr aka Boots who she spent the rest of her short life with, they both worked in the local industrial community in Paisley, her in Chivas and him in Brown and Polsons, but that all changed in 1969 when she won the pools to the equivalent of £750,000 in todays money, but thats when the heartaches began, it went from champagne to cheap wine in the space of a few years as the money started to dwindle, mostly due to her being over generous to family and friends and her inability to cope with such a large amount of money, every night in our house was a party night, but it was one party she was never going to recover from because it cost her her life ! On the morning of 23rd June 1983 at the age of 57 she died of cancer of the liver brought on by the heavy drinking sessions she partook in since her win ! It was certainly no win to me or my Brother and Sisters because when she died we lost ! We lost the most important person in our lives Our Mother, may she rest in peace eternally my thoughts are with her always. Martin xxx
Memories Of You Mum
I had a drifting mood today
It stirred a thought or two
My mind went back to happy days
To memories of you
Our lives are like a tapestry
With two distinctive sides
The front a perfect picture
The back our secret hides
Our memories are built like this
Some are clear and real
Others travel in and out
With no specific feel
Life's phases too are tapestries
With textures of their own
Some we love and some we hate
From all of them we've grown
We gather wisdom from our pains
From torment we grow strong
Our spirit nurtured by mistakes
Still fated travels on
Perhaps one thing which stays the same
And will forever more
Is the love we hold for another soul
The people we adore
So I had a drifting mood today
It stirred a thought or two
My mind went back to happy days
To memories of you
Love And Miss You Mum Martin xXx
They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way i feel
For no-one knows the heartache
That lies behind my smiles
No-one knows how many times
I have broken down and cried
I want to tell you something
So there won't be any doubt
You're so wonderful to think of
But so hard to be without
Martin xXx

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference,
You see, You did make a change
to a lot of people, give my BEST love to Dad and all the Family that have passed to the other side

Time has stood still for those who love you,
the grief is still fresh, their hearts are still blue.
Memories can ease pain but they never can fill,
the space that is left when they think of you still.
So stay near to those who miss you each day,
for they carry a sadness since you went away.
Send the strength to cope where others have tried,
and some love for their hearts that hurt deep inside.

Love You Mum
An Angel kissed my tears away today
when I was feeling sad.
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad.
I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears.
A gentle, kind, and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near.
Immediately, I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter too.
I guess that's just the way you feel
when an Angel comforts you.

♥ Friendship....
A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend .....
with lots of love to u from Me xxx
Your Ever Loving Son Martin xXx
