SLEEP TIGHT. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS X X
God Bless
I send your family my condolences during your time of grief
May God bless your souls,
You may be wondering why did he have to go
But only God and Heaven knows
When the day comes you'll see him at the crossroads
But until that day
Just know God works in mysterious ways.

Jacks doing quite well at school altho he has got a attitude. cant figure out where hes got that from as you know im not like that lol. jack and me are going thorpe park sunday for both our bdays as hes always gets ruined by the snow. ull be able to hear us screaming. jacks still a arsenal fan alth ull be dissappointed with alfie as he is a part arseanl fan but prefers wolves!!! god knows why he likes wolves but he wants a wolves kit for xmas and not a arsenal 1. maybe you can visit him in hes dreams and try turn him back to arsenal lol. while your there can you please tell him to stop whinging! lol. he has started up football on a saturday and loves it.he runs around with a huge smile on hes face and scored a penalty last saturday. jack didnt want to join as he only likes being in goal but hes started table tennis. as for lil joshua hes not so little. hes as school full time now and is such a mummys boy. hes doing good at school and the teachers all love him and call him 'JOSHIE' when you ask him what hes name is he says FISH lol. but then you ask him again he will say JOSHUA. Im 1 proud mummy and i know ull be 1 proud great grandad. im sure uve been looking down on lil amelia too. shes gorgeous. the boys love her. im really proud shes my neice but shes got a right lil chunk and definatly has alfie and her mummys cheeks lol. i love you so much grandad lots and lots like jellytots. life aint fair and still dont feel right that u arent here with us anymore. i think ive babbled on enough so ill give your ears a rest and say happy birthday and i miss you soooooo much. I am so pround too call you my grandad xxxxxxxxxxxx

lost
what is the meaning of the word lost???
is it what i am now you're gone?
the feeling of lonliness and never knowing who your real friends are...
not knowing who your real identity is...
the crying of your empty heart...
now that there's a hole there.
always hoping today will be your last.
but i have to go on...
knowing your never coming back...
knowing i never said a proper goodbye
never knowing if and when this pain will stop...
the anger and sadness that is building up inside,
is beginning to tear me apart...
the tears wont cease...
they keep pouring out....
im drowning.
there is no need for me to be in this young and healthy body anymore,
it paints a perfect picture...
but if u dig deep...
past the fake smiles and phony laughs...
you will see a sad soul trapped in a cage...
longing for release...
you will see that im lost without you grandad.

missing you so much dad
Why is it still hurting so much dad, its 18 months now since you left dad but it still seems like yesterday. So much has happened here without you. Maureen is not doing as she is told by the doctor and has lost loads of weight. Jenny rang me cos she is concerned about her. I know you wouldnt be happy with her dad. Your new great grandaughter is due weds. Wish you was here to meet her but i know your be looking down at her dad. Leigh and the boys have been up to mos a few times which cheers her up. We try and get up there once a month. Mo and debbie are coming to mine for the day on tuesday. I know we will be talking about you dad cos we all miss you so much and always will. I'm going to bed now dad. i've had one of my bad days and i wish you were still here cos i know i could talk to you and you would advise me what to do cos thats what you did when you was here. I love and miss you so much dad and you are forever in my heart x x
I need you so much Dad
Dad I really wish you were here with me. You were always there to help me when I needed someone to talk to and right now I want to talk to you. I know you would guide me in the right direction and offer me advice cos you were always good like that. I am so lost without you and my life has fallen apart since the day you left. A lot of times I've wanted to come up to you cos I know I would be happier being up there and away from everything here.
I love and miss you so much Dad and my heart is still broken in two and i don't know how to cope without you here.
I will always have you in my thoughts and I love you so much.
FOREVER IN MY HEART ALWAYS DAD

I wish you was still here Dad
IT'S BEEN 15 MONTHS SINCE YOU LEFT ME DAD AND GOD IT STILL HURTS SO MUCH. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU AND WISH WITH ALL MY HEART I COULD HAVE YOU BACK BECAUSE MY LIFE HASN'T BEEN THE SAME SINCE I LOST YOU. I TRY AND THINK OF THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD AND YES DAD THERE WERE LOADS BUT IT MAKES ME MISS YOU MORE AND MORE. I WISH LIFE WASN'T SO CRUEL. I KNOW YOUR NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING I AM THANKFUL FOR BUT IT DOESN'T STOP THE HURT I FEEL EVERYDAY. I AM SO LOST AND LONELY DAD AND SOMETIMES WISH MY LIFE WAS OVER AND I WAS UP IN HEAVEN WITH YOU, BUT I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T WANT THAT. THE HOSPITAL FIGHT IS STILL GOING ON DAD AND I WILL KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL JUSTICE IS DONE COS I WON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY DID TO YOU.
I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU DAD AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FOREVER IN MY HEART X X X X
It's still really hard to cope dad x
Hi Dad It's now 15 months since you left me and the hurt is still there. My life has gradually fallen apart and i have lost so much. I can't do this without you in my life. It is so hard. Sometimes I think of coming up to you dad but I know you will be angry with me. I really need to talk to you cos i knew you were always there for me when i needed someone to talk to but now i have no-one. Rob does his best but his not you dad. A bit of good news for you is your getting a new great grandaughter. Sam has her in July and i know you will be looking down at her when she is born. Mo went to a medium and i know you are with your grandson Daniel cos you told her. I am so pleased he is with you dad cos i know you will look after each other until i come up there. Don't you teach him bad habits dad ha ha but i'm sure he will be an arsenal supporter like his grandad.
I love and miss you so much and i hope you can guide me thru this rough time of my life dad. Mo is helping as much as she can, she has been brilliant even though she is hurting still too.
Anyway dad i'm knackered so i'm going to bed. You are constantly in my thoughts and FOREVER IN MY HEART X X X X
I don't know what to do dad
It's 14 months now dad and i am still finding it hard to cope. Why won't the pain go away?. My life has been a disaster since you left and just seems to be going from bad to worse. I wish you never had to leave me dad cos i really need to talk to you right now and have one of your special hugs but i know that can't happen until we are together again, so i'll just have to keep all this hurt i have until then.
I will never ever forget you dad and will always love and miss you.
FOREVER IN MY HEART ALWAYS X X X
Always on my mind
I never imagined life without you dad and it is so hard you not being here. The pain I feel hurts so much. You were my world and my life will never ever be the same. I have tried so hard to move on but I can't cos I love and Miss you so much.
FOREVER IN MY HEART DAD ALWAYS X X X
