Happy Birthday

Another birthday, Dad, and it still seems unreal that you're not here for us to share it with you.
I know I come to visit you and bring some flowers, but I still long for that personal touch, cuddle, chat - I was your 'big yin' and always will be, and it seems so unfair that I'm planting a kiss on a piece of cold marble when I leave you rather than on your soft, bony cheek.
I think of you every day, and always will - I still talk of you like you are here ... Dad loves that program, that's a favourite song of dad's, etc ... and I can't bring myself to stop - I know you're not coming back to us, but I need to allow myself that.
Hope you're still looking down on us, and can hear me when I ramble to you about all sorts on various occassions, cos I react as if I'm getting a response (yeah, I know ...) x
Anyway, I wanted to say Happy Birthday and to tell you (again), that I think of you always, and love you more.
Missing you on this day, and every other. Love you xxx

Loved & Missed Forever xxx

Hi dad, just leaving you a wee note to let u know that I love and miss you so much xx I know that I spoke to you today and I hope that you could hear me - the pain and hurt is still raw but for the sake of the kids and hearing u in my ear - life has to go on - I just wish you were here to share it with us all.
I love and miss you as much today as I did the day I lost you xx
Until we meet again Dad I send you all my love and I ask you to look after every1 and guide us all correctly xxxx
Sleep Peacefully Papa xxxxx

6 years and still hurting x

I can't believe that 6 years have passed since you were taken from us - and it still hurts!
People took the time to tell me that it gets easier, which I didn't/couldn't believe at the time. In a sense they were right, because although I think of you all the time, it's now not all sad and tearful - I can think of you with happiness and laughter, when I hear a song you liked, or catch a comedy that we used to watch together (Mr Bean is still my favourite, and the memories just come flooding back). Even things like clothes, or if I suddenly decide I want to by a newspaper just for the crossword - these all bring back fond memories, and even allow me to feel close to you again.
But when this day comes around - which I have now accepted I can't get away from, it'll be here every year - it's like it is so fresh, and is almost happening all over again. I'm not sure how long it takes for that pain to go away, but I'll work through it like I know you'd want me to. I can't be happy, but for the sake of your memory I try to be less sad where possible.
All the kids are doing fine - both yours and theirs - they are all coming along really well, and we all seem to be getting on pretty well too, there's no upsets of fallings out at the moment you'll be glad to know!
Young Gordon and Nikki got married a couple of weeks ago, and although I'm not their real mum, I was there and felt so proud just to be part of the family - it was a beautiful day.
I haven't managed to get to Hawkhead for today, as we are taking a trip down to Suffolk today to see about some jobs in another factory - but I'll get up as soon as I can, and obviously get to see you when I do. Until I get a chance to speak to you again, always know that I'm thinking of you and love you dearly.
For ever, Dad, always in my heart. Love you xxx

MISSING U SORELY xx

Hi Dad, not left u a message in ages and its not cause I don't think of you coz you are always in my thoughts and heart xxx
I really can't believe its now nearly 6 years since I last seen u .... my god it still hurts as much as it did when God called you home xxx
I love and miss you so much every minute of every day and always will xxx
You are probably aware of everything that is going on in the family but I'll let you know anyway; Kerys & Alyssia are starting school this year - you would have been so proud of them and how grown up they are now xxx Maggie & Rab have lost their jobs and are now looking at having to move away from their home in order to find new jobs - please look after them Dad - I hate seeing her so upset - her house is is pride and joy and they have worked so hard to get it xxx Aunty Katie is back amongst the family ( at long last) its such a shame that you never got to see her again xxx All the other kids are fine and growing up so quickly and I know you would be proud of every single 1 of them xxx
Anyway enough of me blabbing on (as usual I hear you say) but I just like you to know what every1 is doing xxx
I love and miss you so much Dad and would give anything just to have 1 last cuddle xx
Till we meet again Dad xx you are and always will be the true figure of what a proper and loving Dad should be xxxxx
Love you always and forever xxxxxxxxxxx

Sleep tight Papa xx Robbie, Kerys, Maya & Mikey xxxx

Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...

If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...

They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...

So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.

God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.

He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.

So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane xx
