My Dad has three children, four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. He also has two
brothers, the youngest Raymond is on GTS also. Dad had a devasting stroke on the 1st June 2002 and
sadly left us on the 1st September 2002, which for him was a happy release. He is missed by all of
his family and friends

19th August 2009
Its coming up to your birthday and wedding anniversary Dad and its at this time we were told by the
hospital doctors that all treatment was being withdrawn and that you would only be given palliative
care. Now was the waiting, no longer just visiting but waiting for the time that you would leave us.
Oh such long days and nights they were.

31st August 2009
This time seven years ago was to be the last day that we spent with you. You in a deep sleep and us,
waiting, just waiting. It was hot to as it is today, I have never liked late August since then. From
now until after your funeral was a complete blur to me and I remember so little of it.

10/09/2009
This day seven years ago was the day of your funeral and that was pretty much a blur apart from when
we were travelling to the crematoruim. I had the sudden'Oh no, have I shut the dining room door or
Jesse will start on the food'. Luckily I had so Jesse the cat got nothing.Apart from that I really
dont remember much, of the service or the gathering back at the house. I remember feeling half an
orphan a lot though. What to do with your ashes Dad? Mum still has them in a cupboard and we are
thinking maybe to scatter them on the River Arun, not far from where you were born. We think that
you would like that.

Jude Swaddle Last night

NIGHT NIGHT ANGEL,SWEET DREAMS x

Do you believe in angels
I know I surely do
The day I got my angel
Is the day god sent me you
I always feel your presence
As I’m going through my day
And during hard times and struggle
I can feel you as you pray
You’re always right there next to me
With everything I do
And when I need my angel
I’ll be calling out for you
All I have to do
Is look deep inside my heart
For you my angel are always there
And never shall we part

Heaven

If we could visit heaven,ღ♥ღ
Even for a day,ღ♥ღ
Maybe for a moment,ღ♥ღ
The pain would go away,ღ♥ღ
I'd put my arms around you,ღ♥ღ
And whisper words so true,ღ♥ღ
That living life without you,ღ♥ღ
Is the hardest thing to do.ღ♥ღ
No matter how we spend our days,ღ♥ღ
No matter what we do,ღ♥ღ
No morning dawns or evening falls,ღ♥ღ
When we don't think of you xx.ღ♥ღ
