My sister Maggie 

Margaret was the second eldest of 4 children born to Tommy and Margaret Hayes.  Thomas was the eldest (RIP) Margaret the second eldest than Bernadette and myself Maria the baby of the family. Our parents where from Ireland! Mum was born in Dublin. Dad was born in kilmore Wexford. 

We lived together in south London and we had our ups and downs has do most famlies and siblings. We where brought up Catholic and attended Catholic schools has children. Margaret was a chatterbox in general and her school reports referred to maggie has being in a dream world.  She loved Irish dancing and the 70’s music at that time has she was a teenager.  Jen Micheal jar  fleetwood Mac etc she would teach me how to dance in our sitting room and Bernie and her where a year in age so would carry out their dance routines and holding a hairbrush whilst belting out a tune.  We always laughed and had fun.  Margaret loved going out to clubs and coming home late would get her into trouble with mum and Dad.  Our father had an allotment and would grow fresh organic vegetables and My dad being a chef lovedcooking so did Maggie has we loved her favourite meal moussaka. 

Maggie did many courses and worked with disadvantaged children! She married Patrick when she was 19 years old way too young and sadly this ended and Margaret was very hurt. 

I was living in Greece and our parents decided to come on a holiday to see me with Maggie has I hadn’t seen her in 18 months and missed my family. 

They came to Naxos and it was the most memorable exciting and fun time me and my sister had together. 

We would visit the beautiful beaches and in the evening after a lovely meal with mum and dad me and Maggie would go to the clubs dancing and met lots of people worldwide. We all congregated onto the beach and would discuss philosophy the world our beliefs our sadness and importantly we would laugh untill 7.a.m. 

This was a healing holiday for my sister who was hurt and loss and I took my eldest sister under my love and helped and protected her  we where so close and she was like a mother to me through out our childhood. She cuddled me and always protected me. We had a very special bond and no one in this world can ever take that away from us! 

Has the years progressed Margaret remarried and had her children but sadly our relationship had taken a break up for 13 years.  We both have our own personalities and we where very strong individuals.  This is not about blame or guilt but I carry a sadness in my heart that  she was kept away from me! Manipulative and controlling are what many woman sadly go through in their marriages! I’m afraid my sister was controlled.  This saddened me has the person I knew wasn’t really there!  I sat outside her door wanting to desperately see her and just put my arms around her and tell her I love you!  I couldn’t because of him. 

I found out my sister died by a text message from my cousin by mistake thinking I knew and her husband did not want me to know!  My sister had other plans has she guided me to her in the chapel of rest! It was heart breaking and I did not see my sister! It was awful to see her laid out in her coffin but I spoke to her with my husband and son who she was godmother to. I found that very healing! I put 3 love heart quartz crystals in her hand with a medal of our lady placed into a silk bag I placed this under her little hand!  

It’s not goodby has my sister has been to see me in spirit with mum and dad and Thomas!  We are spiritual beings having a Earthly experience but we go on for eternity 🙏🏻💚💫💫💫💫♥️ 

Love&light 🙏🏻💚💫💫💫💫♥️
