My Dear Dad,....
He was married to mum (Patricia) for 50yrs, they had their golden wedding anniversary in July, Dad
had 3 brothers and 1 sister, there is only 1 brother left now, my Uncle alan.
I am the eldest of three children. I have a brother christopher and a sister Adrienne.
My dad was so funny, he was always saying and doing funny silly things and had us in fits of
laughter so often. He used to tell us stories when we were young, among them was the one of how he
got the scar on his neck fighting Jeronimo. One of his sayings were -"rules are rules",- we say
that all the time now.
His grandchildren adored him, he always made them laugh, My eldest son says grandad is a legend. He
sure is....
He loved to sing and could yodel. He liked Dean Martin and could sound like him too.
When we were young my brother, sister snd I made a band, we were called "The Three pebbles", we used
to sing away and Dad would sing along with us, Putting his head in the bin to make the sound
different, Ha Ha.... I would wrap tissue paper round a comb and blow on it, My brother and sister
would bang on an upside down bin with a wooden spoon,
We had some fun times with dad...
Dad developed Emphysaema about 10 yrs ago and had difficulty breathing,
It was due to having the emphysaema- that the Lung Cancer he got took a while to be diagnosed,
everyone including the doctors thought it was the emphysaema playing up.
He was diagnosed after many tests with cancer in his left lung in sept, It was terminal and couldnt
be operated on, he refused any chemo or radio therepy and said- he had had a good innings and wanted
to carry on as he was,- which is just what he did,-
Dad was up and about and even driving up until a few days before he died. Even on the sunday
morning he managed to walk to the bathroom despite being in pain, he couldnt swallow his tablets on
sunday so had a morphine syringe put up.
He stayed asleep after that, My sister and I sat up sun night with him and Mum and My brother went
to try and have some rest,
At about quarter to 1am he suddenly opened his eyes, looked up and closed them again, I believe
that dad had seen the light and someone was calling him!! (I wonder who it was?)...
I told my sister to get mum and my brother quickly, they came in and I said to dad -"its ok dad we
are all here you just sleep",
His breathing slowed and he passed away peacefully.
We are all so shocked that it happened so fast in the end ,but so relieved that Dad did not have to
suffer for long.
My prayers were answered.- All our prayers were answered..
The place is just not the same here without Dad. But we have our Memories, and one things for
sure...Dad will never be forgotten.
We Love you Dad.
Rest in peace, you are in a great place now, Free from pain and you can breath again. x x

Cancer is a word I do not like to share.
For cancer took our loved ones life..
And that's not very fair
Cancer is so cruel.
It takes so many loved ones away,
I pray to God they find a cure for Cancer.
And I hope it happens today.
Our loved ones died from Cancer.
And it breaks my heart to say..
Why did God not find a cure for Cancer..
And let our loved ones stay.
Cancer has always been known as the BIG C.
God why take my loved one away from me?
We shall beat this horrible disease one day.
And deep in my heart my loved one will stay.
God please take care of my loved one above.
Hold them close with all your love.
Take their hand and please show them the light.
For I loved my love one with all of my might.
I know that my loved one is safe in your keep.
But I still miss my loved one and I still weep.
I will promise to try and stay strong today.
And say my prayers night and day.
So please dear God I am begging you now..
Please find a cure for Cancer somehow.
I will be a good person and I shall say a prayer with love.
So please dear God take care of my angel..
In heaven up above.

Four Little Words - Dedicated to Your Angel
There are four little words
that can easily be said
to my angel in heaven
before I go to my bed.
I look up to the stars
that are shining so bright
and I whisper so quietly
I Love You, Goodnight.

xxxxxxxx
With love for you
xx for you my friend xx
There are friends we set apart,
That are different from the rest.
Each and every day that comes,
They give their very best.
Always cheer you when you're sad,
Do their best to make you smile.
They know when you are lonely,
With you they'll stay a while.
You see, these friends are different
Because we've never met.
The only time we spend with them,
Is when we're on the net.
They are what a friend should be.
One who's loyal and true
And this my dear sweet friend,
Happens to be YOU~♥ღ
Thinking of you my love
xx
Christmas In Heaven .
♥ ♥ 'Christmas in Heaven' ♥ ♥ ♥
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
....
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
....
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
....
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
....
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
....
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
....
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
....
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.
Love you always Dad...

DAD
Miss and love you
I think of you so often
And I think of you with love
I think about you watching me
From heaven up above
I think of you so often
But sometimes it’s with tears
As I recall the loving times
We had throughout the years
I think of you so often
And long to you see your face
Laughing eyes and sense of fun
No one can take your place
I think of you so often
It breaks my heart to know
That you are in another place
Where I am not ready to go
I think of you so often
But know that one sweet day
We will be together again
And I will get to say
‘I love you Dad ‘
Memory Lane
There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loves ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.
When Tomorrow starts without me.
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say I know how much you love me, as much as I love you and each time that you think of me I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready In heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart for every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart!!
~~ FRIENDSHIP ~~
Friendship is a precious gift
that cannot be bought or sold
but it's value is far greater
than a mountain of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless
it can neither see nor hear
and in times of trouble
it is powerless to cheer
It has no ears to listen
no heart to understand
it cannot bring you comfort
or reach out a helping hand
So when you ask god for a gift
be thankful if he sends.....
not diamonds, pearls or riches
but the love of real true friends
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
