My dad was know as Big Mick as he was a very tall man all 6foot 7inches
My Dad came to visit me whilist i was living in Germany.It was the September of 2002 and we
celebrated his birthday together, while he was there he was complaining of pains in his chest and i
said i would phone the Doctor out if they got any worse but he said he would go and see his own when
he got back to the UK. When he got back he went to the Doctors and had to go to the Hospital for
tests anyway my Dad never let on to me that he had to go for Chemotheraphy and Radiotheraphy because
he had Lung Cancer and never told me. I phoned him at least 3-4 times a week while i was abroad and
he said ''yeah i am fine don't worry'' I went home for Christmas in 2002 and spent some time with my
Dad and while there he gave me 5 envelopes one for me one for my hubby Mick and 3 for my 2 girls
and 1 boy his Grandchildren. My two brothers steven and david got an envelope too. My Dad said its a
Present for you all and inside was 35.00 pounds each for each of us. so this was a bit of a suprise
as we bought for Dad and he would send money for the Grandchildren but we stopped getting pressies
as we become older but always got birthday cards maybe with a 10.00 or 20.00 in it. This really made
me think when i went back overseas. Was my Dad trying to tell us something about next Christmas. so
i continued phoning and went back at Eastertime 2003 I was told then that my Dad m was on Steriods
and he looked really ill i said to him tell me Dad but he kept it to himself as he had never ever
been ill in his entire life and didn't want to be a burden and didn't want me to worry.
Over the next few weeks when i was back overseas i phoned my Dad more and noticed a change in his
voice he had sounded as though his voice was going still he didn't tell me all he said was he was
having treatment as his lungs were playing up in my mind i knew it was something real bad but i
didn't want to believe it was the nasty C word.
Then on the friday 6th June i phoned my dad as i had to give him some good news that i was
expecting again. He said not another one but i could tell he was over the moon. He also said to me
""I am knackered kidda the docs can't do anything more for me but you look after that beautiful
family for me I love you.that was the last time i spoke to my Dad the last thing he said as on
sunday the 8th of June 2003 at 4.20am I got a phone call from my brother Steven saying my dad had
gone, it didn't sink in and i said to my brother 'wheres he gone'? Then it clicked i had lost my dad
i was in deep shock and my husband Mick comforted me best he could but i just wanted to go back to
the UK to get to see my Dad.
My Dad had been going to the toilet but collapsed on the landing gasping for breathe shouted for his
partner Mary at the time who i will never forgive ran out of the house leaving my Dad on his own
ran up the road for a neighbour and wouldn't go back into the house. so the neighbour who mary had
went for sat with my Dad and held his hand until the ambulance turned up but my Dad had gone and i
will never ever forgive that woman as she said things 3 years after about my dad that weren't true
and i have never spoken to her since.
I got back to the Uk on the Tuesday and if i had known then what i know about Mary i think i might
of smacked her in the mouth.
I went and saw my Dad in the rest home and i took my Nana and Granddad(my Dads mam and dad) in to
see him too and my brother David too. I sat on my own with my dadfor about half an hour and told him
sorry i wasn't there for him and i also put 3pounds in his pocket to get a pint and pics of his
grandchildren and also a poem i did for him.
My Dad was only 56yrs old when he passed and i am just so glad i told him i was going to have
another grandchild for him.
My Dad was a member of the Coldstream Guards Association and i sorted his kit for him to send him
off in, he wore his Blazer, pants, trousers, shirt and Coldstream Guard tie only thing i forgot was
his socks.
My Dad used to Sing and had a really good voice the one song i remember is You'll never walk alone
and i wish it had been played at his funeral but we had Elton John's rocket Man as he liked him
too.
I don't think i will ever get over losing my dad but i will definatly never ever forget him.
Love and miss you billions Dad
Love your only daughter Jeanette xxx

Another Year without my Dad
Can't believe it is another year without you Dad
you don't realize how time flys and then another memorial year. six years now Dad since i last saw your face andthat day was the worst day of my life because that was the day you left us.
i know you didn't want to go and weren't expecting to , but at least you were out of pain and suffering no more. even though you didn't tell me you were dying dad i knew something was the matter. I know you didn't tell me because you cared how it would affect me. you always protected me the best way a father could for his only daughter and i am just proud of you for that. you were the best dad a daughter could want and you loved us with all your heart i know that for sure. i know you loved all your grandchildren and it hurts to know you will never get to meet the grandson i told you about the friday before the sunday you passed away. but i tell him all about you and he gets out the album i made for you with all your pictures and bits and pieces i have of you. so today what i really want to say to you Dad is not a day goes by without me missing you and i will always love you forever Dad.
hope you are at peace and happy where you are Dad.
love you xxxxxx
I need you here Dad i miss you so much
Hi Dad
I am sat here with tears running down my face just wishing you were here and thinking why did you have to be taken from us.
It is 6 years on monday since you went away and it still seems so raw and hurts so much i miss you so so much Dad.
Your grandchildren all miss you and Ethan well he is missing out on meeting such a wonderful granddad and i just wish he could of met you and you met him, i know you two would of being the best of mates and Bradley talks about you all the time too.
If i had one wish it wouldn't be for money or anything like that it would be for my Dad to be back with his family and we would have the biggest party to celebrate but thats all i can do wish because it is never going to come true is it.
Why do all the bad people stay and god takes all the good ones why can anyone tell me why?
As you can tell Dad i am abit down today but i can't help missing my Dad so much especially when i need you to be here.
Miss you so very much Dad and i will always love you.
love your heart broken daughter Jeanette xx
DAD
Throughout the years you've always been
A wonderful man you see
When i was little you took the time
To bounce me on your knee
As i grew older you were there
I only had to call your name
I knew i could count on you
You'd never let me down
So many hard times in my life
You've helped to get me through
I am so glad god has given me
The memories of a Dad like you.
Why.
WHY DID GOD HAVE TO TAKE YOU
A DAD SO DEAR
YOU'VE GONE SO FAR AWAY
A DAD I COULD NEVER FORGET
YOU WILL STAY BY MY SIDE FOREVER.
SOME DAYS ARE GOOD BUT MOST ARE BAD
THINKING HOW MUCH I MISS YOU
NEVER HEARING YOUR VOICE OR SEEING YOUR SMILE
ITS BREAKS MY HEART IN TWO
DAD WHY DID GOD HAVE TO TAKE YOU
I NEEDED YOU MORE,I LOVED AND ADORED YOU MORE THAN HE COULD EVER KNOW
I MISS YOU EVERY DAY AND IT DOES'NT GET ANY EASIER
I KNOW I HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS, BUT IT HURTS ME MORE AND MORE.
I LOVE YOU LIKE A DAUGHTER SHOULD HAVE AND THATS WHAT HURTS THE WORST
KNOWING I WILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN IN THIS PLACE WE CALL OUR WORLD
MAYBE WHEN MY TIME COMES, THERE YOU WILL BE TO MEET ME
I'LL WRAP MY ARMS AROUND YOU THEN AND NEVER LET YOU GO.
I KNOW YOU ARE AROUND ME DAD
I SENSE YOU ALL THE TIME
THAT STILL DOES'NT STOP ME MISSING YOU
THE BEST DAD A DAUGHTER COULD HAVE.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER DAD.

We think it will get easier
And take away the pain.

Our broken hearts to mend,
We want the chance to meet you.
One day when we die,
So we can kiss and hold you

Why when your so special
♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Why do we have trouble sleeping,
Have tears on our pillow case
Its because we long to see you
With that smile upon your face,
♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Why did you have to leave us,
Why did we have to part,
The worse day of our life that day,
And it really broke our heart.

All the time were broken hearted,
Crying is all we ever do,
Its for a special reason,
To tell you we love you,
♥
They say time does heal,
But its the same day by day,
Were saying just how much we feel,
And it never goes away,
♥
Just one more chance to hold you,
Is all we want to do,
But we will whisper to the clouds,
Good morning we love you.
Thinking of you and your family
Love from the wallers xxxxxx.
