My dad was 53 when he passed at Compton Hospice where he spent his last 10 days.I had a wonderful
relationship with my dad he was my best friend.He was a very talented musician and singer and played
on the club circuit for over 30 years,he was happily married to my mom for 32 years until he
passed.He had a passion for music and racing pidgeons for which he entered competitions & won
trophies.My dads passing hit me very hard,as from diagnosis until we lost him,was only 10 weeks,for
which most of it was spent at home- cared for by mum & me. Caring for someone suffering from this
cruel disease is so hard - watching a strong man dissapear day by day is heartbreaking,you feel so
helpless. We did all his medication,but the pain got so bad,we couldnt control it,and decided he
needed care from paliative nurses who specialised in pain relief for terminally ill patients. The
doctors & nurses at Compton Hospice were made of pure gold-they made him comfortable,&were there day
or night for us to discuss our fears,or answer any questions we had, nothing was too much trouble -
i cant praise them highly enough. After 10 days, dad passed away on 25th October 2001 at 03.55am
with my mom & 2 close friends at his side. I couldnt go in- i was afraid, i dont know why,id been
there all the way through,but i just couldnt do it- i regret it to this day,i feel i let him down.
Its been 8 years this year since we lost him,& i miss him every day,im lucky i have my mom,my 2
lovely daughters and wonderful friends that have kept me going. Its silly things that take me
back,like saturday teatime,ironing his stage shirts while dad had a snooze & mom got ready to go to
his booking - or my car playing up, or decorating,which we always did together,and had a right old
laugh while doing it! This is how i want to remember my dad, not in pain,or in a hospice,no matter
how lovely the place was- i have to remember the good times,the laughs and the wonderful father he
was- i was so lucky. I had a respect for my dad that can never be matched,by anyone, and i know i
will see him again one day,up above,in another world. Until then, god bless you my lovely dad,my
best friend,my mentor and my hero - i will love & miss you every day of my life.xxxxx

Karyn Aldridge (Friend) Yesterday morning


As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know

I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed

I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below

So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.

☆ LOVE KARYN. X ☆

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

MEMORIES

MEMORIES
I opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I crave to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind

Two Twinkling Stars ~~~~

I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.

I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.

I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel

Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes when I'll finally be with you.
