A poem from my Mum to my Dad.

My Lonely Journey

We started this journey together positive right from the start,
God had no right to take you because he took part of my heart.

You were the strong one John not me, you fought right to the end
I've lost my soul mate and companion i've lost my very best friend.

That night i held you closely there was no panic and no pain,
I held your hand so tightly knowing i'd not do it again.

Day by day i'll think of you as i walk alone,
I wish that you were here with me i wish that you'd come home.

Happy Birthday

We had your memorial darts match this weekend, You're trophy has now with daryl for the next year, My shelf looks empty without it. will try hard to get it back next year. We played archery this year aswell. Jade was runner up you would have been so proud of her, Katie and Emily were in Italy unfortunatly and missed all the fun, they were upset that they missed it but will definatly be here next year.
I love and miss you so much. I still talk to you on the moon, to think your up there makes it seem a bit easier. even though it never will be. Rubie still thinks your on the moon too and tells me not to worry cause Michael Jackson is up there looking after you. Lol.
Love Always Dad.

2 Long Years

Its been 2 very long years without you Dad, but it is still so fresh in my head the day we lost you, I can still feel your heart beat under my hand then it was still, The peace that came over the room and the silence was eerie. I have never known the world to be so quiet. Our lives are so weird without you, not a day goes by when you are not mentioned, Rubie thinks your on the moon with Michael Jackson, she makes us laugh all the time. Its weird but she remembers you hands, if she sees a picture of hands she thinks there yours. At least she has her own memory of you not just what we tell her. Katie and Emily have grown into gorjous young ladies, i wonder where the time has gone and how did i become the mum of teenagers, now i know what i put you through and im sorry. I have just started seeing someone i think you would have known him, he is lovely, reminds me of you a bit. He likes his cars/vans and lorrys and the scrap yard.
Mum has finally got a bungalow, the one you were offered the week you died. It was obviously meant to be. It is gonna be so hard to think and see someone in our house, it holds so many memories.
Loving you always Dad.

Its been a year Dad since i felt your heart stop beating.All i can think at the moment is that you are not in pain anymore, i think if i think anything else i will fall to pieces and not be able to put myself back together. I miss you more with each day that passes. I love you Dad.

When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.

When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.

When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.

Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.
