This is for my Dad Henry but was known as Harry to those who knew him. Dad died on 14th April 2001.
Aged 73
Mam (Doris nee Wraith) outlived dad until 10th June 2005.
Married my Mam Doris in 1952. First born Pauline, then Peter, then my self Patricia. Then Janet but sadly passed away on 13/8/1969. Then Mandi.
Dad sisters my Auntie Nelly, Auntie Edna and Uncle Joe are all up in heaven with him. And Auntie Joyce the youngest is still with us.
Dad started his life as a gardner when he left school. Dad then went to night classes and worked his way up the ladder to become a 2nd Chief engineer in the Merchant Navy. I am not sure when but all of my life Dad worked in the ship years mostly in the Wallsend area. On 4 July 1979 Dad was involved in an accident at work which we were told he was lucky to of lived.... I now know that it was not his time as he had to stick around to be by his family side to support them through the many ups and downs which we faced. Also not fogetting all of his beautiful grandchildren and Granddaughters.
Dad was in ill health for a number of years with Chronic Obstruction Aways Disease which astounded the Doctors at the Freeman for living so long with the condition. However, it was not this which eventually took him away from us in January 2001 Dad went into the RVI for a biopsy only to be told there was nothing they could do for the Cancer which had taken over his body.
Those last few months Dad and I filled everyday with what ever he felt like doing. Even discovered that food shopping trips were full of fun and it was to me in those days when I had you by my side Dad.
There is loads more which I will be putting on here about my Dad just at this moment in time I am finding it so hard to put my feelings into words. But in a nutshell he was a Dad in a million to me he was My Dad and I was his little girl so was Pauline, Janet and Mandy and Peter was his big boy always in his heart no matter what he was doing.
Good morning Dad
I miss your decent brews and our little chats. I know your only a thought away but at times that is not enough for selfish me.
I plan to fill my day with tears of laughter and joy and shall see you tonight in my dreams

Hello Dad
Just thought I would pop in to say hello. Been a while since I last wrote on here to you but your always in my thoughs along with everyone else who are now with you.
when you go to heaven the date which you arrive there do you celebrate it like you celebrate birthdays here?
It will be 40 years this Thursday when Janet closed her eyes and took her last breath. I am going to go and get the biggest bunch of flowers I can afford and lay them on Janet's grave.
Time for me to have a quick cuppa and then got to pop out.
And your always in my thoughts in everything I do and think
love you Dad

hello Dad
Hello Dad
Just had my ninth birthday without you here. It still feels unreal that it has been just over eight years since you passed away just a few weeks before my 37th Birthday.
I have struggled without you here but managed somehow. It has taken me all this time to start and do something which you really wanted me to do years ago and you know what that something is. I feel so much better now knowing how it feels to do that now. One day I will get there and find this struggle not as hard as I do all because you told me what to do.
Thanks Dad
Not a day goes by and both you, Mam and Janet are in my thoughts and a day shall never go by when you are all not in them either.
Got to go now as I have some living to do.
Love you Dad

ANGELS
An angel here, an angel there,
I'm surrounded by angels everywhere.
When I'm in the middle of a terrible storm
they come with their candles to keep me warm.
An angel to comfort, an angel to guide,
An angel to fill that dark hole inside.
An angel to cry on, an angel who cares,
I'm surrounded by angels, everywhere.
The angels who reach out when times are rough
who’ll listen to my heartache
and all kinds of stuff
Bright in the sunshine and in dark of night
the angels surround me with comforting light.
I guess God is busy and can't come on down
To give me a smile and take care of my frown
So He sent a few angels to brighten my day
And help to carry my burdens away.
So thank you, dear angels, more than you'll know
for watering the happiness and making it grow!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As you hold me close in memory,
even though we are apart,
my spirit will live on,
there within your heart .
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
and their caring hugs enfold you,
within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon
when we'll finally be together,
where love will be eternal
and life will last forever.
I am with you always.

We only wanted you,

Youve left behind our broken hearts.
Our thoughts and photos too.
We didnt want a memory
We only wanted you .

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
At the rising sun and at its going down we remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter we remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring we remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer we remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn we remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us. As we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart we remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make we remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share we remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs we remember them.
For as long as we live, they too will live,
For they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

Get your Grandson told
Hello Dad
Life has not really changed that much down here since you have gone. Jobs seem to get started around the house and never completed.... sound familar?
Please visit your Grandson Dean tonight and tell him it's about time that he got those kitchen wall units back up on the wall. Then tell him the huge list of to do jobs around the house and plan with him a way of getting them done.
Thanks Dad
XXX hugs XXX your in my thoughts daily and forever
just want to say hello
Hello Dad
Am getting the kitchen ceiling sorted out this Friday the insurance company has given me the go ahead to get it done...... When ever I purchase anything new I can hear your voice giving advice on insurances about what a rip off most of them are. Pleased I had house building insurance as there is no way I could afford to get it repaired and I hope I never have to move away from here. I am so much at home here as it is filled with wonderful memories and such a comfortable place. I say should I ever be so lucky to come into a huge sum of money which would be life changing I still won't move a house is a house but a home is home and it takes a special place to be a home and for me this is my special place.
What I would do is have the place updated and the garden finished off and an extra room for Stephen sound proofed hee hee!
Time to go and get sorted out as I have the kitchen to clear today so it is ready for when they come in to repair that ceiling.
Love you
Your Treesh
p.s. hope you like the tiles on the floor in the passage!
Hello Dad
Hello Dad
Can't believe it is has been so long since you stopped breathing. Today it is your grandson's 17th birthday he has had eight birthdays since we last saw you.
Wished you were with me yesterday when my kitchen ceiling came down. I think you were as I never panicked just accepted it has happend and need to get it sorted out. Today saw a mouse in the hoose and again never panicked just put some yummy mouse food out for it and I am sure it will soon be victed from indoors or shall be joining you up there in heaven. If it was not for the fact the things spread disease and cause so much damage in the house don't think it would bother me the way they use to. That is until I see the thing hee hee!
Hope you and Mam come and visit Stephen in his dreams tonight and that he remembers it as I know that would really make his birthday
love you and miss you until we meet again xxx hugs xxx
