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.

~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~
In my home there is a photo
Of a face more precious than gold,
And to those who love and lost you
your memory will never grow old.

Today I look at your photo
At your face so loving and true,
No wonder my heart is breaking
Losing someone as precious as you.

But each day you walk beside me
And when my life is through,
I pray that god will take my hand
And lead me straight to you..

As we all celebrate christmas
Our thought's will be with you,
You alway's made our Christmases
The happiest we ever knew.

Hi Michelle xx hope your having a good day xx sorry i av'nt been on as much as ive been so busy with work xx

Diane Blackburn (Friend xx) December 25, 2007

Thanks for everything

On christmas eve, allowing for everbody being busy over the next few days I wanted to take this opportunity to send a big thankyou to you for all the candles and tributes and pictures that my friends at GTS have left on my brother site Bernard Hamer and my stepson James Raishbrook.

It has meant so much to me to know I have got such great friends out there on GTS who take the time out to visit his site day in and day out. This is bernard first christmas in heaven and Jame's second, but its a huge big comfort to know am not on my own. Its been painful losing my brother and coming to terms with it is still hard, but GTS has helped me alot.

I want to wish you all a peaceful christmas and a Happy New Year and to say thanks again for all your support and my support to all my GTS will continue into 2008.

Merry Christmas to you all

Love and hugs to everybody

My Christmas Wish For You Michelle xx

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.

A part of me is missing
It hurts so deep inside,
I can't get over losing you
Since the day you died.

A part of me is missing
And we'll always be apart,
But that won't stop the love I feel
Deep within my heart.

A part of me is missing
Its something I can't replace,
Your wicked sense of humour
And that smile upon your face.

A part of me is missing
It keeps me feeling sad,
You were such a special Father
The best I could of had.

A part of me is missing
And there is nothing I can do,
The part of me that's missing
My precious Dad is you..

When God was making Father's
AS far as i can see,
He spent alot of time on one
And saved that one for me.

He made a perfect Man
Compassionate & kind,
With more patience & affection
Than you could hope to find.

He gave this Wonderful Man
A heart of solid gold,
And after God had finished
He must of broke the mould.
