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.

♥ Are there birthdays up in heaven
Does an angel blow his horn,
Announcing to all the angels
This is the day that Roy was born.
Can the stars be your balloons
And angel food your cake,
Presents wrapped in moonbeams
All the angels helped to make.
So i'll whisper a lil prayer today
Asking everyone up above,
To sing you a happy birthday song
And give you all our love ♥

If only we could turn back time
Life once again would be so fine.
Time would pass, you'd still be here
To have, to hold, to love so dear.
If all the gifts of heaven and earth
Were ours to have, they'd have no worth.
The greatest gift in time and space
To have you here & feel your embrace.
To have once more the peace we knew
In the blessed gift of knowing you.
We know that love can't turn back time
And life again will never be fine.
Time will pass, but you'll still be here,
In memories that we hold so dear..
♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~
♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~
If i listen really close
In the silence of the night,
I hear your voice to comfort me
And say that you're alright.
But it's often hard to understand
Why certain thing's must be,
And the reason why they happen
Are so often hard to see.
But i find comfort in the knowledge
That God is alway's there,
To keep the one i love so much
Forever in his care..

With each passing day my pain grows more deep
And I lie in bed I just cannot sleep.
I think of you and hope you're not alone
Because it would break my heart if you're on your own.
I wish with all of my heart that I might
Just hold you in my arms just once tonight.
To see you smile just one last time
Would that be really such a crime?
I feel like iv'e broken up inside
And I've cried all the tears that I can cry.
Yet still I sit and think of you
And the tears they just keep coming through.
I hope one day that something can fill this empty space
But I'm not holding my breath cos you could never be replaced.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
