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 xxx

Forgive me dad if i still cry

missing you grandad

I wake up every day since you have been gone and I think of you from the minute i open my eyes to the minute i close them at bedtime.I dont understand why you are not here.Mum and dad and nan keep trying to explain to me that you are an angel in heaven now but it still doesnt make sense to me.You have always been there as i grew up,always played silly games with me and you always made me laugh.Whose going to do those things with me now your not here.I love you wether you are here or not and i miss you.xxx

my dad in law

I lost my dad when i was a child but 30 yrs on i have lost my other dad.When i first met him he was very off with me but i realised that he just wanted my wife and his grandsons to be ok.But once we got to know each other i grew to love him very much to the extent of me calling him dad.He always told me that i was his second son and he always treated me like one .Dad you were such a special person and i am so proud to of had the honour of being your son in law.R.i.p Dad

God saw you getting Tired

God saw that you were getting tired
And the cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "come with me"

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay

A golden heart stopped beating
Busy hands to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

Its lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day
Our lives arent the same
Since you went away

When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
"Cheer up and carry on"

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
"Dont cry I,m in gods keeping
We ll meet again someday

Danny my youngest son is severely autistic and disabled.He is a very sick young man. I was sitting with him last night and we were looking at photos of his Grandad and he looked at me and asked to phone grandad.He does not understand that he is not here anymore.Itried to explain that grandad is an angel in heaven and that he couldnt phone him.He thought about this for a few seconds then looked in my face and said "I talk to Grandad on the phone in heaven" I thought i couldnt cry any more but i did lots.It made me feel so sad for Danny and dad it made me want you back more then ever.
