My dad was 61 yrs young when he passed awy from the dreaded word cancer. I say 61 yrs young as his
love for motorbikes was like seeing him and his mates as teenagers.Here i begin.....

My dad was diagnosied with bladder cancer 2 yrs previous (2003).He endured gruesome
chemo sessions,which ended with him screaming in pain.Chemo unfortunately didnt work.The cancer
progressed to bone cancer and went downhill from there.We was told as he hadnt responded to chemo
there wos nothing more they could do as the cancer was too aggressive and it was terminal.The docs
put a life span of 6mths for my darling dad.
The day before he died
was a Friday and my mum (they wasnt living together but were still friends) and i had taken dad for
the results of a brain scan.When we got there he got given the all clear and we were so happy i
cried when i got back to work.Later that day i got a call from my mum who said ur dad needs a blood
transfusion come quick.My head in a spin,i rang my partner Alex who drove me to welland hospital
(dad was too ill to live at home).I went in the ambulance with dad,holding his hand all the way
there.We got into admissions at Pilgrim hospital and was waiting for a bed.Time slowly passed by and
at 730pm we decided to feed dad cheese sandwiches.8pm dad closed his eyes.He finally became free of
pain at 0215am with my sister Amanda,her husband Paul,my brother Jonathan,Alex and i at his bedside.
One week after the docs prediction of 6 mths.


My dad grew up in Long Sutton.His dad Edward,his mum Beryl and his older brother Derrick.He
married my mum on March 24th 1973,and they had 3 children.He worked on railways then went on to
become a bricklayers labourer for Alison homes.He got poorly due to a trapped nerve and had to give
up work.But he was strong and determined and joined forces with my mum in her business MB
Valeting,cleaning cars.His passion was motorbikes he brought a Honda fireblade and had been awy on
it with his mates only the previous yr.He was my gardener.He used to come to mine and alexs house
for tea (Alex is a good cook).Hes got 3 grandchildren.Ryan who he would be so proud of as hes in 2nd
yr of grammer school,Daniel whos a cheeky little monkey and charges me,his Auntie Shell for kisses
and little Thomas whos full of life.Dad would be proud.I will never forget you dad,you left a legacy
of stubborness in me.Thanks dad............................ Id appreciate it if friends of gts will
leave messages or light candles its taken me 8 mths to pluck up courage to do this site. Also im new
to computers so it was a bit scary.....
With love to my darling
daddy,my bright shining star.

My heart feel's oh so empty
It's shattered, Broke in two,
There's nothing that can mend it
It broke when i lost you.
So my heart will just stay broken
For all my living day's,
I will always love & miss you
In a hundred million way's..

Your day

I no u r lookin down on ev1 especially 2day- ive jus seen Michelle doin sum shoppin but i no 2day is a hard 1 4 her n that shes thinkin of u more than ever. Keep sendin msgs so i can pass them on xx 2day is ur day Roy xx God bless xx

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are 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 loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.

But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.

He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”

“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”

My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come 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

God knew what He was doing
When He sent a gentle breeze,
And brought a beautiful butterfly
To set my heart at ease.
The happiness of your friendship
And the gentleness of your words,
Have touched my life in a special way
And now I feel assured.
Thank you for your encouragement
And your thoughtfulness too,
God knew what He was doing
when He sent me a friend like you

I know it's hard and painful now
And your heart is truly breaking
But i just wanted you to know
As time goes on it will stop aching
I did not leave you there alone
I'm closer now than ever
I'm in your thoughts, your mind and dreams
I'll be with you forever.

My love to you all, have a peaceful New Year xxxxx
