Dad its been 6 years since you left us and not a days goes by without me thinking of you. So much
has happened in the last few years and so many times I have prayed that you where here.

You were diagnosed with Cancer the week before the August bank holiday 2000 and I remember sitting
on the doorstep with you talking & praying that you would be cured but it wasn’t to be. The
doctors told us you had weeks without Chemo or maybe up to 2 years with the Chemo. For you there was
no option you where going to fight there was no way you were leaving your family and grandchildren.
You never stopped believing you could beat it you fought to the end refusing morphine even in the
last few hours but the doctors thought you were in too much pain & they decided you needed a little
within minutes of the injection you knew your fight was over and you grew your wings.

I’m so glad you decided to have treatment because this meant we got to go on a few family holidays
and you also got your dream of being the proud father of the bride on my Wedding Day to Tracy in
January 2001 which I remember you saying was one of the best days of your life. Unfortunately Tracy
has since grown his wings and is now with you.

The past few years there has been so many times I have wanted you to hold me and tell me things were
going to be ok just like you did when I was little I miss you so much.

Since your passing I have had 4 children of my own Eleanor, Olivia, Jack & Alfie. Unfortunately,
Olivia & Jack grew their wings and never got to see my world so I buried them next to you and I know
you will be watching over them in heaven.

Eleanor & Alfie know all about you as your picture smiles at us in our living room and we often talk
about you. When we attend your grave you and my angel babies always get a kiss on the gravestones
from us all before we leave.

Dad I wish things could have been different and that you were still here sharing our lives but as
you cant I want you to know you were a wonderful man and father and you will forever live in my
heart and your memory will live on.

Love Always & forever
Maxine

Dad

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and
turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

⊱♥⊰ ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR... ⊱♥⊰~

The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
