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.

Feel no guilt in laughter
He knows how much you care,
feel no sorrow in a smile
That hes not here to share.
Do not be sad forever
He would not want you to,
He'd hope that you could carry on
The way you always do.
So talk about the good times
And the ways you showed you cared,
The days you spent together
All the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you
A word someone may say,
Will suddenly recapture
A time,an hour,a day.
That brings him back as clearly
As though he were still here,
And fills you with feelings
That he is always near.
For if you keep these moments
You will never be apart.
And he will live forever
Locked safe within our hearts.

Our relationship was special,
We valued it with pride,
But I never knew how special
Until the day you died.
I look back on the good times,
That you and I have known,
But all the fun's gone out of it,
Doing it alone.
The photographs I look at,
Time and time again,
For a moment your there with me,
And then - That awful pain.
I'll always have the memories,
They'll go on and on,
But my life will never be the same,
Now that you have gone.

Poem i read at ur funeral
Our hearts they feel so empty, Our lives they feel so sad, Why oh!why u left us, Our everlovin dad. Our thoughts r alwayz bout u, Our feelings feel the same, We pray at nite 4 peace 4 u, And whisper out ur name. Sharks we played in water, Runaway train u used 2 sing, The laughter joy and happiness, Our dad u definetly did bring. It wosnt all plain sailing, Ur stubborness and glee, But oh dad u do live on, Because its all cum out in me. No matter where we go, No matter wot we do, Ur memory is part of ours, Because we do love u. The dayz they seem so long rite now, The nites they drag on and on, But time will ease the pain we guess, We hope that isnt wrong. So when we r feeling lonely, And nothing seems very rite, We'll take a look in2 the sky, At the star that shines so bright.XXXXXXX ALWAYZ LOVIN AND MISSIN U DADDY.TILL WE MEET AGAIN MY HEART WILL ALWAYZ ACHE 4 U.XXXXXX
I'm trying to face the hours
Trying to make it through,
I was right when I said,
There's nobody quite like you.
And I can't bring you back,
And it tears me up inside,
When I feel so broken from you,
I just want to hide.
Nothing has been the same,
My heart is truly broken,
And when I close my eyes,
I can feel my wounds re-open.
I feel so lost with out you,
I don't feel so strong,
I've felt so lonely,
Since you've been gone.
And I'm stuck here crying,
Trying to make it through,
But it's so hard to go on,
Just so hard with out you.

You were to me my guiding star
That shone so bright above,
And weather we were near or far
You filled our world with love.
We cannot think of word's to say
Or express the hurt inside,
You made me what i am today
And to you i owe my pride.
You'll alway's be within our heart's
Of this im very glad,
For i have loved you from the start
And forever will, My Dad..

Happy little Memories
Go flitting though my mind,
And in my thoughts and memories,
I always seem to find,
The picture of you face,
The memory of your touch,
And all the little things,
I come to love so much.
You cannot go beyond my thoughts
Or leave my love behind.
Because i keep you in my heart,
And forever on my mind!

Do you make them laugh up there,
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
like you did when you were here?
The very mention of your name,
the memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
there’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
there is no perfect day.
For no-one knows the heartache,
that lies behind our smiles,
no-one knows how many times
I have broken down & cried.
I want to tell you something
so there wont be any doubt,
you're so wonderful to think of,
but so hard to be without...
