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

It’s New Years Eve
The clock strikes twelve
The church bells ring
As another New Year begins
We are hoping for better things
The one thing we want more than anything
Is to have you here with us
But that remains a dream
Dreams of the past
Are all that remain
When we were all together
Celebrating with joy in our heart
And days full of smiles and laughter
Now they are dreams of the past
No matter what
The New Year will begin
Our hearts are filled with sorrow and pain
Our tears will fall from our eyes like rain
We just want the dreams of the past
All we want in this New Year
Is to feel you ever near
Your smile
Your love
Your presence
Your touch
Those are the things we want so much
Another year begins
And all we have
Are dreams of the past
With hope for a better year

♥ ♥ '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.
*~~We Never Will Forget You ~~*
The pleasure your life gave us
When you were by our side
will live on in our memory
Though many tears we've cried
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
As we look back on those happy years
That we spent with you
The memory of your smiling face
Is what has got us through
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Through the pain of losing you
Of missing you each day
And the ache within our hearts
Since you were called away
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
We never will forget you
Until we meet again
In a place that's filled with happiness
Where there isn't any pain
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Most days as I remember you
I shed a little tear
But then I smile as I think of
The joy when you were here
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Your life brought so much joy
To everyone you met
You were so very special
Some one we will never forget
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Remember us with love
The way we remember you
And watch over us with love
Until we are there with you too

♥*♥ I KNOW I HAVE DIED ♥*♥
I know I have died
I know that you grieve
But the pain that you feel
In time will recede.
But the memories you have
Of our time spent together
Will last you a life time
Will last you forever.
So please don't be sad
At my moment of passing
For you know that I now
Have life everlasting.

I remember Christmas Dad...
α¦ I Remember Christmas α¦
I remember . .
When Christmas was really Christmas
And family love was all around
And Christmas carols in the street
Drowned out the traffic sounds
When decorations were made at home
And the smell of Mum’s cooking filled the air
And regardless of all our problems
Happiness enveloped everywhere
Shopping didn’t dominate
And finding presents was not a dread
And early on Christmas Eve . .
We were all tucked up in bed
Father Christmas was believable
And computer games were not a blight
Real logs glowed in the fire place . .
And the North Star was still bright
The three wise men took pride of place
And Jerusalem . . was not at war
And we believed that angels . .
Might come walking through the door
Yes,
I remember when Christmas was special
It seemed to have a magic glow
Oh! How I miss those Christmases
That happened long ago
IN THE SILENCE....

IN THE SILENCE WE HEAR THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK TICKING
KNOWING THAT IT WILL SOON BE CHRISTMAS DAY
WE ALWAYS WANT TO SHARE IT WITH OUR ANGELS IN OUR OWN WAY
A DAY THAT WE HAVE TO WEAR A SMILE UPON OUR FACE
WHEN ALL WE REALLY WANT TO DO IS HOLD YOU IN OUR EMBRACE
THE DAY SEEMS TO PASS AND WE TRY THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO
WHILE WE TRY SO HARD TO SMILE WE A REALLY THINKING OF YOU
WISHING THAT YOU WERE HERE TO SHARE IN THE FESTIVIES THIS YEAR
JUST LIKE YOU USED TO WHEN YOU WERE STILL HERE
KNOWING THAT YOU ARE SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH THE ANGELS JUST DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT
WE KNOW ON CHRISTMAS EVE YOU WILL BE SHOWING YOUR GOLDEN LIGHT
SO THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO THE SKIES AND THAT WE CAN SEE
THEN WE CAN MAKE IT THOUGH THE NIGHT
THE SADDNESS WE FEEL IN OUR HEARTS WILL NOT EVER GO AWAY
WE WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE NOT IN HEAVEN ON CHRISTMAS DAY......

Sleep Tight Angel Derek xx
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.
