At birth we board the train and meet our parents , and we believe they will always travel by our side .
As time goes by , other people will board the train , and they will be significant , i.e. our siblings , friends , children , and even the love of your life .
However , at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone .
Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum .
Some , however , will go so unnoticed that we don't realise they've vacated their seats .
The train ride will be full of joy , sorrow , fantasy , expectations , hellos , goodbyes and farewells .
Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves .
The mystery to everyone is , We do not know at which station we , ourselves will step down .
So we must live in the best way , love. forgive and offer the best of who we are .
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life! I'm wishing my dad meets me at my stop when I step off the train of life.
I wish you all a joyful journey ...

You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Today 5 years ago we layed you to rest dad ...
A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss, A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed. An empty house, An empty chair, A fathers love, No longer there. A broken heart, Tear filled eye, Another soul to fill the sky. Many memories in my mind, Some I laugh, Some I cry. The times we shared, The laughs we had, Things I miss when I think of you Dad. Realizing that's all I have to hold on too, Only memories, Of what once was you. Missing your laugh, I will never again hear. That is the reality that fills me with so much fear. No more smile on your face, No more warmth of your embrace. The last hug, The last kiss, The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish... To have you Dad, here today, Never to leave your Daughter this way. A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss, A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!

He's walking towards me surrounded by light I can't believe this miraculous sight It can't be him, I know he is dead But as I look towards him, he's shaking his head I did not die, I am still here Look into your heart, I've always been near My body died, yes, but not my soul You never had to let me go Speak my name, talk to me It really is simple if you believe My spirit is here, I'm still around My love for you can still be found Don't weep for me, shed no more tears Remember the good times over the years Our time together did not end One day we'll be together again Whenever you're lonely or felling sad Look back on the wonderful years that we had One day God will call you, and bring you home You'll be right here with me, where you belong Until that time comes, live your life well I will be here for you, if you need my help Be happy, be gracious, be loving and kind Please know I'm still with you, child of mine.

5 years today dad, you were a bright spark, That shone like a star, You touched so many hearts, Now we are apart, Memories of you are kept locked in my heart, At least you’re in no more pain, One day we’ll meet again, Through your life, You’ve made so many people happy, As you were a cheerful, warm-hearted dad Now that you are gone, We all have to try to carry on, Even though you’re an angel, With you not here with us is really painful, When I think of you, I remember all the things you used to say and do , I miss you dad More and more, i cant help the tears that fall always love you dad and i no you would of been a proud great grandad to jayden travis ameila and soon to be lacey mae an Danielles unborn baby

For my father, my friend,
This to me you have always been.
Through the good times and the bad,
Your understanding I have had.
A gentle man at heart,
This sets you apart,
From the others I've seen,
You mean so much to me.
The laughter we have shared,
Cannot be compared.
The tears I have shed,
As you lovingly nodded your head.
You have always been there,
With a smile and a hug,
A precious gift from our God up above.
The times that I have been down and sad,
Your silly ways could always make me glad.
You gave me strength to carry on,
Even when all hope seemed to be gone.
The lessons in life that I have learned,
Are from your genuine love and concern.
With deep appreciation for all you have done.
You, Dad,
Are my number one.
With all my love, Your Daughter wendy, Your Friend.

light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,
think of me,
think of light,
I'll always be here,
day or night,
a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness,
that I'm not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my little one,
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you'll know
that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you

Your face frozen in blissful eternal sleep now,
As I kissed you goodbye on your cold brow,
A last tearful glance as you're taken away,
There was nothing anyone could do or say,
My pleas and tears won't bring you back to me,
Comforting friends could not help me to see,
No words could explain to my grieving heart,
Why cruel death had to tear my world apart.

Sometimes I'd find treasured mementos you kept,
Or reread the cherished cards from you as I wept;
Fond memories return from photos of smiling faces,
Or suddenly come to mind in the strangest places;
Although I sometimes sadly long for all the yesterdays,
And sorely miss our chats and your understanding ways,
Your gifts helped me relive the good times we shared,
And reminded me that you loved me and truly cared.

Even though your death is a most painful memory,
The memories in recesses of my mind's treasury,
Have helped save me from grief's dark lonely decree,
That your death meant only painful sorrow for me;
For the loving bonds remain and will never depart,
Ensuring that you are with me as a part of my heart,
To comfort and sustain me until I see you once more,
When I'm called to come join you on an eternal shore.

I wonder if your spirit lingered a while on that fateful day,
And witnessed grief's sorrow as your body was taken away;
Did you see me gently kiss you goodbye on your cold brow,
And hear me ask how I was to continue without you now?
Did you hear the sobs and see the tears flowing from me,
Before you answered calls from across a vast eternal sea?
For I'd want you to know, before your spirit had to depart,
That you had left love's precious gifts for a grieving heart.

He never looks for praises
He was never one to boast
He just went on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams were seldom spoken
His wants were very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He was there.... A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend i could turn to
When times were good or bad
One of my greatest blessings,
The man that i call Dad ...
