my dad died tragically through a heart attack 4wks before his 50th birthday,he always joked he dreaded turning 50
my dad was a dad in a million,if u had a problem he would do his best to sort it out,he was a devoted husband to my mum an excellent father and a fantastic papa to all the grandkids,he was the man i looked up to the man i depended on for everything and to have him taken away has left a huge void in all our lives no words can describe how much we all miss him, i feel like my heart has been ripped out and i hope that there is a better place so that hes up there with everyone we have lost the only consolation we can get from this is that he is looking after our baby brother gordon who died tragically aged 6mth in 1982,dad i love and miss u so much and always will xxx
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
MY DADS SONG
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

for Linda
A father is a special gift
one you think will stay
you never think the time will come
when he is called away
but when the moment comes
and you never said goodbye
the pain overwhelms you
and all you do is cry
you laughed with me in good times
and cried with me when sad
you always went without for me
you gave me all you had
you taught me many things in life
that i would have to do
but dad , you never taught me how to cope with losing you.
Linda i know how much your dad meant to you and the kids especially cole... it wont ever be the same without papa mavin but your strong chick and im always here if you need a shoulder to cry on or a ear too bend ... xxxxx
