Ali

December 12, 2018

I remember when I first got Ali, you thought I was mad and said "what did you get an ankle biter for". Your only experiences with Jack Russell's had not been good ones and you thought I had made the wrong choice but within one week you had changed your mind. Ali had completely melted your heart and you thought she was "a silly thing". Soon it had become a common occurrence for Ali to be fed the leftover meat from the Sunday roast, you were her carer during the day and she was spoilt rotten. She was definitely a Grandaddy's girl and gave you lots of cuddles. Ali is nearly 11yrs old and she is still my little girl and spoilt rotten, she is still "a silly thing" , still loves the leftover meat from a roast and still loves cuddles. 

The day my heart broke.

August 26, 2015

God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered 'Come To Me'.

Your golden heart stopped beating,
Your hard working hands now rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.

The moment that you died,
My heart was torn it two.
One side filled with heartache,
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep.
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday.
But missing you is heartache,
That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain.
Until my own days on earth end,
And we can be together again. 

I love you Dad & always will xxx 

False Teeth

November 17, 2012
I remember the day You, Mark & Myself had gone to Ware, we had just sorted out your hearing aids. On returning back to the car you were walking just behind us when you stopped, got your handkerchief out of your pocket and covered your nose while you sneezed. The sneeze itself was not unusual but your false teeth flying out of your mouth while you sneezed was, you had no chance to catch them & they fell to the floor. The teeth did not only hit the floor but then continued to slide down the pavement and Mark & Myself watched as you then had to chase after your false teeth until you finally caught them. All the people walking down the path had a good laugh to see this funny old man chasing a pair of false teeth & to make things even funnier Mark started to run from them saying "He's trying to bite me Amanda" I remember being completely embarrassed but by the time we had got back to the car, i was laughing so hard there were tears running down my face. You always knew I had a dislike about false teeth, finding that highly amusing & said for my inheritance they were going to be made into a paperweight, guess I am having the last laugh Dad because the family were unable to do that, only I wish I was not having the last laugh. Still missing you so much Dad.

Proud

May 18, 2012

June 10th 2000

My wedding day, a day when i was so proud of you, proud you were walking down the aisle beside me. I t was also the day i realised you may have been giving my hand in marriage to Mark but i would always need you at my side. I am the first to admit i am a daddys girl, nothing will ever change that but i could have also throttled you on my wedding day. I remember the smile when you arrived at the house, Sivley was the designated driver, Marks car was decked out with all the ribbon but it had been playing up that morning, we saw the children off & we got in the car. I was very calm & on the way to the church the sun was shining, Sivley had his window open shouting to passer by " Amanda is getting married" it was quite embarassing. We arrived at the church with ten minutes to spare, just as i was going to get out of the car Sivley pulled out of the church drive, heading towards Bengeo, when he asked what was up the hill, i told him to turn around & go back to the church. Instead you took him along the roads, showed him where i used to live, all the time i was cursing & telling him to go back to the church. On the way back to the church i started to relax, this was short lived when Sivley pulled into the local pub car park, he parked the car and asked if we wanted a drink, to which he was screamed at by myself "No we bloody did not want a drink, now take me to the church" You had a half lager & Sivley a bottle of budweiser, i was now late for my wedding & worried in case the car did not start again, i had visions of having to run to the church. When you had finished the drinks, we finally made our way back to the church. I was a nervous wreck when we got to the church, shaking like a leaf & telling Sivley he was a dead man but first i had to get married, you were both giggling. When i walked down the aisle i was nervous but you were there holding my hand tightly & giving looks of encouragement, never before had i been so proud that you were my Dad. I later found out that while Sivley & yourself were enjoying driving me around, Mark was at the church & had been told i had arrived & waiting for the ceremony to begin, only for the vicar to return outside to find that we had gone. The best man reported that all the colour drained from Marks face when he was told that i was no longer outside, Mark had to drink some rum from the best mans hipflask. We have shared many a laugh over this story & it is a story that will never be forgotten, just as i will never forget you - love you Dad xxxx

Fish & chip's

February 13, 2012

I still laugh when i eat my fish & chips,Remember you when you came around to mandys,you open this pack which was huge,your mouth was watering as you opened it the smell of fried fish & chips drifted in to the room,Then you said to mandy & me you'll not to tell anyone (meaning the family) becouse your not to eat fried food ?.But the funnies thing was when you opened it, it was the biggist bit of fish i've ever seen pretending you only ask for a small bit of fish,These are the memories i remember of you they dont seem much to others,But they do to me the small thing i remember of you becouse they are the ones that make me laugh.I hope you got the best fish & chips where you are now,miss you R.I.P xx
