My dad was a very special person.He was always there for everyone,family friends basically anyone that needed help advice or just someone to talk to.He lived for his family they were his life.Mum me my brother never wanted or needed anything as he was our rock,always there.Then when i got married to my second husband Ian he was the proudest dad in the world,He was forever saying that Ian was his second son and loved him as much.As for my two sons well noone could want for a better grandad or have a prouder grandad then him.Dad we all miss you sooo much and there isnt a day goes by when i dont cry for you as mum and the boys do.Love you dad.Even in his last hours before the angels took him from us he still worried about us and how we would cope,but hey dad as we held you and tried to give you comfort we were coping.When you closed your eyes for the last time that is when mum ian me Ricky and Danny fell apart.Its 1year since you went but it still seems like yesterday.Their isnt a day an hour or a minute we dont think of you.xxx

DAD

Another christmas another one without you.It should get easier so i,ve been told,but it hasnt,in fact we all miss you as much if not more.Danny i think has suddenly realised that you are not coming back.He has been so emotional and constantly asks for you."Grandad hug"is all he keeps asking for.Like for all of us as a dad husband and grandad you were always there to make bad things good ,sad things happy and that special hug was always there when we needed it.Danny kept asking when grandad coming with nanny for xmas dinner.We told him that you were in heaven watching him but he didnt understand and just said see grandad soon.Merry christmas Dad up in your special place,we love you xxxx

If roses grow in heaven lord
Then pick a bunch for me
And place them in my dads arms
And tell him there from me xxx

DAD

It is my second fathers day without you dad,and i thought that time was meant to heal,but it doesnt.Ive learned to cope without you here but the pain of missing you so much is worse than i could of imagined.There are so many times when ive done something wrong or needed advise ive thought "I,ll ask Dad" then realised for the hundredth time that your not here.If i could spend just an hour or so with you again then i wouldnt want anything else.Dad as you probably are looking down on me i hope you realise that when the angels took you on your journey,they took a big part of me too.Love you,miss you your daughter julie xxxxxx

your special day

Dad it has been a year today since the angels came and took you.It still seems like only yesterday as we remember how you suffered and how much pain you were in but the one thing we remember is how strong you were till you went to sleep never to wake again.We think of you every day every minute every second.We took your favorite flowers "roses" and layed them on your resting place today,hope you like them.We love you so much and miss you more each day.Hugs and xxxx julie mum ian ricky and danny
