My father was a man who was kind and generous. He loved all of us so much.

There was never a time that I could not talk to him or that he would not offer advice (asked for or not).
Some of you may not have known my father the way that I did, but for those who did not get to see this side of him missed out on knowing a great man.

A man that made sure that his family was taken care of even if it meant he had to sacrifice something important to him.

A typical joker, always having a laugh...always the clown of the parties! Always making a mockery of any situation...never a dull day with Dad!

Sadly missed by all who knew him. Bubbly, lively, fun and friendly. Taken from us so suddenly and far too soon but never forgotten.

Nearly 4yrs!!

Its flown by so quickly Dad! It seems like only yesterday you left us so suddenly. I can't believe it's nearly 4 years! And sooooo so much has happened in those four years you've not been with us - bad things, tough times and laughter...laughter you should have been here to join in with!!
Sarah got her GCSE results yesterday - she done soooo well - you'd have been proud of her! I know Mum and I am...I think we have enough pride for you too! Anyway, enough of me blabbing on and on...I just wanted to pop by and let you know Im still thinking of you! More so at the moment with everything thats going on...but never a day goes past your not in my thoughts and with me some way or another!!

Waiting at the Door

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

I only had the fortune to meet him the once, but I met a soft, caring and cheeky old fashioned Dad - just like they are supposed to be - he made me fondly remember the Dad I had lost a few years before and I will always thank him for that x

I miss you so so much! xx

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
If all the world was ours to give,
We would give it yes, and more,
To see you coming up the steps,
And walking through the door.
To hear your voice and see your smile,
To sit and talk a while,
To be with you that same old way,
Would be our fondest day.
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes closed to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
