Dad,, u had so many health problems but battled on through them all,, life got harder for you 9 years ago when u lost your legs due to your diabetes, it was harder physically and mentally, u had your ups and downs,you just wanted to see me marry and be happy,,u did and you really enjoyed the day which im so glad for... i understood certain actions u took months after x
life got harder and harder for you as new problems took over your body but you fought n carried on each time...then you had another fall,, and broke your neck and needed surgery.
i waited and prayed outside those theatre doors for you.. you made it through and i gave you loads of encouragement to fight.
you tried so hard..then the doctor asked to have a word in another room..those echoey words were said to me, the ones i didnt want to hear..i stayed with you all night you got through it. then late afternoon you took a turn for the worse, there was nothing more they could do.
Dad i stroked your hair and asked you to let go..you finally went,, you left to be free from pain. was so hard leaving you there all alone, i didnt want to.
i have your photo and some of your hair in my locket which i treasure.
i love you dad xxx
i hope you like this song,,i picked it for you for your cremation xx

Letter From Heaven.

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.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

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.

DAD x

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you

And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get
Well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, 'Peace be thine.'
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone;
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.


forever in my heart xxxx

DAD x

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our heart.


Happy Fathersday Dad.. love you xxxx

IN A GARDEN FOR ANGELS

Life is a gift not ours to keep,
A seed unsown and yet we still reap.

Here for only a very short while,
The heavenly reality of an earthly denial.

Like a flickering light here and then gone,
The essence of what love is based upon.

Birth and death the beginning and end,
As one heart breaks another one mends.

What was never ours is no more,
Returning to whom it belonged before?

Tear filled eyes silence the heart,
As body and spirit slowly part.

Life is a journey from first breath to last,
Memories left behind in the eternal past.

The here and now releases becoming a remember when,
Replanting the seed so that a new harvest can begin.

With trembling hands love says good-bye,
But still the heart can't help but ask, "Why God Why?"

A heavenly destination will be reached this day,
And in a garden for angels another spirit will awaken to play.

♥♥♥THINKING OF YOU ANGEL & YOUR FAMILY ♥♥♥
There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place, your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.

An Eternal Memory Of A Special Dad

You made the world a better place
in your own special way
and you're still loved so very much
and missed more every day
your leaving caused a lot of tears
and so much grieving too
it was the hardest thing of all
to say goodbye to you
you gave your love until one day
you heard the angels call
and above us now in heaven
lives the best Dad of them all.

MY PHOTO ALBUM

The photo album of my mind
Holds treasured thoughts of you,
And I can almost see again
The things we used to do.
I hear your voice; I see your smile;
I feel you close to me.
The photo album of my mind
Shows how we used to be.
Time may have changed us through the years.
But I will always find
You’re just as I remember in
The album of my mind.
And, as I turn page after page,
Such precious scenes I see.
The photo album of my mind
Is very dear to me.
It holds the pictures of our past
Like reels of film unwind.
I cherish all those photos in
The album of my mind.
