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
Today I saw an angel
Walking by my side
He brought a sense of peace
And calmed mt troubled mind
A feeling of tranquility
Deep inside my heart
I'd never felt such peace
Since the day you did depart
My sadness kept on lifting
As the angel walked on by
He knew that he had helped me
Why he did, I don't know why
I don't know if you sent him
Or if he felt my need
I'm just grateful for him being here
So goodnight my love Godspeed

Dear Dad..
Are you happy in heaven?
Do you watch me from above?
Are you my shining star?..
That shines down on me with love
Do you know when I'm happy?
Or when I'm sad?
I know your safe with God..
For that I am so glad
I am writing you this poem..
It comes straight from the heart
Oh why Dear Dad..
Did we have to part?
I love you..
And I miss you
And I'm so full of pain
I'm counting the hours..
Until we are together again
So please wait for me Dad..
In Gods kingdom above
And your Daughter sends you.
All of her love
This is not Goodbye Dad..
I promise you now
How do I mend my broken heart?..
Please Dad tell me how?
I look at your photo..
And I blow you a kiss
For you are my special Angel Dad..
The one I love and miss

The sun is shining..
The sky is blue
I'm just so lost..
Without you
The clouds are moving..
Across the sky
The birds are singing..
In the trees up high
The wind is blowing..
Through the grass on the ground
It's so silent now..
Your not around
I can hear the church bell ring..
On this very morn
My heart is broken..
And is torn
I see the butterfly's..
With yellow wings
I hear you whisper my name..
Oh the joy it brings
I see your face..
In my dreams
I need you hear
Hard as it seems
I know you watch me..
With love and care
I know you are safe..
In heaven up there
It still does not change..
The way that I feel
Is this a dream?
Or is it real?
There are only years..
That keep us apart
I would write you a letter..
But where do I start?
Words on paper..
Mean nothing you see
I just want you back..
Here home with me

There is a little bridge..
Past the moon up high
All our Angels walk over it
And God greets them in the sky
There is a little bridge..
A bridge thats made with love
Especially for..
Our Angels..
In heaven up above
There is a little bridge..
Where there is water down below
The bridge is covered in Angel dust..
And the water really does glow
There is a little bridge..
Over the rainbow way up high..
So close your eyes..
Make a wish..
For your Angel in the sky

PLEASE DON,T LOOK DOWN AT ME
WITH THOSE BIG SAD EYES,
I,M TRYING MY BEST TO DEAL
WITH THE GRIEF THAT I FEEL INSIDE,
YOU LEFT THIS WORLD SO SUDDENLY
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY,
I DEAL WITH IT IN MY OWN WAY,
BUT ALL I CAN DO IS CRY,
PLEASE DON,T BE ANGRY WITH ME
BECAUSE WE DID,NT SAY GOODBYE,
I,LL ALWAYS GO ON LOVING YOU
UNTIL THE DAY I DIE.

Still Missing You
They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.

One wish
If i could have one wish from God
The wish i would want would be..
To hold you in my arms again..
And bring you home with me
If i could have one wish from God
The wish i would want would be..
To see your smiling face once more
And love you so tenderly
If i could have one wish from God
I would not wish anymore
For the wish that i have chosen God is..
For you to open the gate to heaven dear God
And let my loved one walk through the door
So i thank you dear God for all that you do
And please dear God..
Make my wish come true
