It has been a year since we lost you

I cannot believe how quickly time has flown

I miss you so, all the good times we've been through

The sad memories of this time last year are starting to fade

Only to be replaced by happy and joyous ones that we shared

There are still days when tears come because you are not here

But thoughts of you are everywhere, ones that make me smile

I know how much you loved this time of year, springtime

Flowers, trees, bushes all showing off their glorious colours

And the first smell of their scent in the air

I am reminded of you on so many occasions and always will be, simply because you are my Dad and I love and miss you lots

We little knew that morning

That God would call your name

In life we loved you dearly

In death we do the same

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home

You left us beautiful memories

Your love is still our guide

And though we cannot see you

You are always by our side

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again

All my love Jo x

Dear Grandad,

We'll think about you everyday and cherish the memories we shared, knowing that you're not that far away.

Missing you so much already and wishing we could hold your hand and hear that laugh one more time.

Love you so much

I miss you so much Dad and I always will.I say a prayer for you every night and hope you know just how much you are missed and that you are always in my thoughts.I love you. Joanne xxxx

No farewells were spoken, I did not say “goodbye,”

You were gone before I knew it, and I wish that I knew why.
You left me precious memories, which make me laugh and smile

I know that even though you’re gone, I’ll see you in a while

Some days I hear your voice and turn to talk to you;
Wishing that you were really there, wishing that you knew
Dad, if I could turn back time and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you, that, of all the Dads, you’d still be my choice.

Love Carole xx
