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.
I miss you since God called you
To his radiant realms above;
I miss just being with you
And the sharing of our love
I miss you in the morning
When the sunrise gilds the skies,
I miss your tender greeting
And the love light in your eyes.
I miss you in the daytime
As I walk my lonely way,
Knowing how much more I'll miss you
At the closing of the day
And yet, deep down within me
Far beyond the grief and pain,
I know that sometime, somewhere
We shall surely meet again.

This heartache this sadness
this feeling of pain
to think I'll never hear your voice
or see your face again
The loneliness without you
is beyond belief
I can't come to terms with
this feeling called grief
Life must go on
I suppose it's true
but a day doesn't pass
without thinking of you
To treasure your memory
I must carry on
but nothing else matters
now that you've gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keep my memory alive
and know that I am still with you
When you really need me there
I will show you I'm there.
Like when you feel a gentle breeze
and there's no wind blowing
or at night while looking at the sky
there's one star really glowing.
I am telling you that I am there
and will be as long as you need me
seeing you throught the times when
the pain seems to be the hardest.
When you feel someone watching
and you are there all alone
you hear someone call your name
or that one special song.
It's just my way of telling you
that I am here with you my love
walking along beside you
and watching from above.
So keep my memory alive
and know I am still here with you
So no more tears need you cry
for my dear, I never really left you.
Have a lovely day Michelle my love to you xxxxxxxxxx
hi michelle
i just wanted to say thankyou for your kind words and advice on my dads site. i will have to try it because i really am terrible at bottling things up. my dad always used to fetch my son from school so i used to talk to him when i came home about my day, he could always tell when things werent ok so i guess im feelin lost at the moment. but thankyou anyway i really do appreciate it and i will try it, love always lisa xxx
For michelle xx
If luck is a raindrop
I'd send you a shower.
If hope is a minute
I'd send you an hour.
If happiness is a leaf
I'd give you a tree.
And if you need a friend
You'll alway's have me.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When i am feeling lonely
I can feel you by my side,
You come & gently wipe away
The tear's that i have cried.
And when i really need you
I can feel your hand in mine,
I can hear you saying softly
'I am with you all the time'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
