My lovely Dad passed away on the year of the Millenium he had been poorly with bladder cancer but
had been given the all clear about two weeks before. He had told my mum he was going downstairs to
sit in his chair because he didn't feel well he had flu symptoms when she got out of bed an hour
later she was on her way to the kitchen to make a cup of tea when she noticed my Dad sitting in his
chair reading a letter but she thought there was something funny because his cup was lying tipped
over on the floor and he would never have left it like that. When my mum went in to see my Dad he
was just lying in the chair his lips were blue and he was unresponsive although my brother was given
instructions over the phone by the ambulance service we couldn't bring my lovely Dad back he was
gone they worked on him for ages before going to hospital but he was dead it was so quick no time to
say goodbye.I no longer celebrate New Years Eve it brings back memories of my dad's death i remember
coming out of the morgue after having to go and see my Dad and being wished a Happy New Year by some
passing people in the corridor and thinking Happy New Year we just identified our Dad its not happy
the tears just ran from all our eyes we couldn't wait to get home I remember standing at the window
of my Mum's bedroom on the Millenium watching the fireworks going off and thinking Dad would have
loved this he loved fireworks and he really wanted to see the Millenium. I miss him so much my heart
was broken when he died
Granda you were always they for us no matter what and I took your famous speach about what happens when people or loved ones die and told lisa it like the way you used to tell me, it came in very handy. There are many memories everyday in our house all good ones of the family and you which gives me great comfort as i know your still around and watch over us all. Forever missed and never forgotten each day and loved by us all xxxx
... "They say that hearts don't really break, dear lord that isn't true, for the day u took my Dad away u broke my heart in two" x

I was your daughter and i loved you so much
I was your daughter and i still miss your touch
I was your daughter and you were my dad
And i can only thank God for the time that we had

For being there for me through the good times and the tough
I was your daughter and i shall look after mam

I was your daughter and i will always be
Please my dear dad...
Wait in heaven for me.

I NEED YOU DAD
I need you dad oh so very much
I need you dad please stay in touch
I need you dad to take away my pain
It will only go if you come home again
I need to know that your alright
I love you dad with all my might
I need to know that your not in any pain
Why did God take you dad?
What did he gain?
I need to know if you can see me now
Please dad give me a sign somehow
I need to know if your ok
I think about you everyday
I need to know because not knowing just breaks my heart
And my heart broke in bits dad the day we had to part
I need to know dad that your around
You don't even have to make a sound
I need to know that you are here
Just stroke my face dad or blow gently in my ear
I know all the pain you went through dad
And you would want me to be happy and not be sad
But this ache in my heart just won't go away
It would only go if God sent you back home with us to stay.

MISS YOU DAD
I miss you dad like flowers miss water
I miss you dad as i was your daughter
I miss you dad like deserts need rain
I miss you dad so please come home again
I miss you dad like plants need the sun
I miss you dad as we had such fun
I miss you dad like a lock needs a key
I miss you dad as you were so special to me
I miss you dad like a beach needs sand
I miss you dad to hold my hand
I miss you dad like a fish needs water
I am so proud to say dad that i was your daughter.

This song is for you Dad because you were always my hero i always looked up to you and you were always there in my times of trouble and i'm sure your still here when i need you love you always and forever in my heart xxxx
Thinking of you today Dad its my 22nd wedding anniversary i can remember waiting to go to the registry office just me and you left at home laughing and hoping the car would start or we would be late but we got there with a couple of minutes to spare. I looked at one of my wedding pictures this morning and felt sad because quite a few people on it are no longer here but i hope you will raise a glass in heaven to Steve and myself and drink a toast as we will do this evening I love you Dad more than words can say forever in my heart xxxx
I could cry when i look at that photo of you i remember when Steven took it in the garden one Christmas he had got the camera as a present and couldn't wait for you and Mum to arrive so he could take your picture but it had to be taken outside as he didn't have a flash. You might be gone but my memories remain I would give anything to have one more day with you and hear your voice say my name Love you always Dad R.I.P xxxx
