No one knew the torment,

that you were going through;

We only kept on seeing 
What we really wanted to.

We saw the outward smile, 
but not your inner pain;
We never really dreamt, 
That you would never smile again.

Forgive us if we failed to see, 
What we could do to aid;
Or if we failed to comprehend, 
How much you were afraid.

We pray your mental anguish, 
Will now forever cease;
And that your deep anxieties,
Will be replaced by peace.

We know your pain invaded,
Every single thought you had;
It made you cry internally,
And deeply, deeply sad.

But we in turn remember,
The good times, not the bad;
We remember when you smiled at us,
And not when you were sad.

So when we think about your life,
We won’t dwell upon its close;
We’ll remember all the good times,
And forget about life’s blows.

We’ll remember all the happiness,
The joy and not the tears;
The assurance and the confidence,
And not irrational fears.

Our lives have all been better,
Because you have been there;
So now we leave your memory,
In God’s all-loving care

Just to start this off, I’m writing to say how I loved my father and we had so many happy memories of him on roller skates with us and the Christmas pantos we put on There was Dad as one of the ugly sisters in Cinderella and the oranges he put down his top to make them into boobies Cannot for the life of me remember  who Cinders was but I remember being the Cat and drinking milk from a bowl  I think Uncle Chris was an Ugly Sister too if I remember correctly...

Please share your memories with us!!! xxx
