I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me." You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning." And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me...

💙💔💙 31st July 2007 11.45am Thirteen years have passed. I'll never forget the day That you'd gone away. The hurt is the same, Like an open wound. There are days I don't utter a sound. Some days the pain is stronger. It makes me sick and weak. I can't stand this much longer. I just sit here and weep. I've shut my private door And let no one in, Locking myself in a box. They try, but I won't give in. You were like a rock, Strong, faithful and true. What worth has my life Now that I don't have you? I was your first born, Daddy's little girl. I took my own path But was still part of your world. I was not the best, Guilty of neglect, But you know, Daddy dearest, I had so much respect. I always loved you, My dad, my star. Now my pain is To worship you from afar. I love you now As I did back then. I just hope... one day I will see you again. I am so proud of you, Brave and strong to the end. Now when asked, "How are you?" There is no need to pretend. We all love and miss you so much; sleep well, and take care of all who went before and After you Forever in my heart! Rest In Peace Dad Until we meet again 😭💔😭 XxX XxX 😘💔😭

I know this man Who is dear to my heart. Suddenly on the 31st of July 2007 It was torn apart. You taught me everything That I needed to know, But I never really listened Until you went away. You gave me love And touched my life. It's all over now; You no longer have to fight. You tried to teach me Right from wrong. The day you left I wasn't that strong. You are gone now, It is hard to believe. You have been gone nearly 13 years You are not only my dad You was my best friend too Whom I will never see. But I will see you again, This I know. The day will come When it's time for me to go. So, I'll hold you dear And close to my heart 'Cause the day we meet I know we'll never be torn apart. Miss And Love You So Much Rest In Peace My Dad My Beautiful Angel XxX 😘 XxX
