Can I just say thank you for the candles lit for my Dad. Every day is hard and it was a particularly difficult day, last week. I managed to come out the other side.

The Best Dad in the world. You did not make a fuss you just slipped away and I still can't believe it. Mind you it is how you would have wanted it. I just thought you would always be there, I never expected you to go and I know you would tell me off for crying about you I can't help it cos you were my dad, I was daddy's girl.
Life just not the same everything has changed there is a big hole where once you stood.
So Dad I hope where ever you are, you are still helping people and playing bowls and being on your computer. I MISS YOU. Jane Emily. xxxxx

♥ We knew little that morning, that the Angels were calling you're name, It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day you were called home,
We never wanted memories, we only wanted you, In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, In our heart's you hold a place no one could ever fill, If tears could build a stairway and heartache a lane, We would walk the path to Heaven and bring you home again, Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.♥

Daddy Dearest

Today it is three years and it is midnight and three years ago you went to bed and you got up and then you just bowed out. Dressed and all prepared for it. Thing is you never said you were going we never got to say good bye and I still feel the same. Broken in two, you would not want me to feel like this You would tell me to stop being so daft. That pain that you my precious Dad is gone and I can't talk to you, ask you how to do things, is when it hurts the most.

I miss you most of all my darling dad when autumn leaves start to fall!!!

Happy Birthday

So Today is your Birhday Dad. I miss you more than ever.

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way you always used

Put no difference into your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

Laugh as we always laughed

At the little jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

Without the ghost of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost

One brief moment and all will be as it was before

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

What a difference a day makes

When you have a father
treasure him with care
cos you never know
the heartache
till you see
his vacant chair.

Can't bear it

Stay
He never got to say goodbye
It had to be that way

Farewell's would have caused him pain
And he'd have wanted to stay

Rest in Peace My Dad xxx

Thoughts

Good moaning!!
I miss you Dad
So much, it hurts everyday.
I am so glad you were my dad and yes sometimes we argued and sometimes we had words but they did not matter. We just carried on the same.
Sometimes I can't wait to see you again but I have to make sure Mum is alright and that stops me.
So daddy till we meet again, save me a place or come and get me when its time.
I love you
Barb x
