Brian Ackroyd...
My dad was one of those special kind of people, the kind of person that would have talked to you
no matter who you were, and would make you smile , even when life makes you sad. You don't meet many
in your life, but when you do, they are with you forever, he was a very friendly and loving person,
no matter how ill he was.
Mum and Dad were childhood sweethearts, they were true soulmates, they stayed together all
through life, and if you met them you knew just how much in love they were. I know that our family
were very lucky to be able to say they were our parents. They always showed us love and made time
for the whole family, we had lots of brilliant holidays, and christmas was always a special time.
Sadly mum died suddenly in Febuary 1999, which hit dad really hard, but he carried on, and was
always the shining light at the centre of the family, a beacon to show everybody he was there if you
needed him.
Dad was diagnosed with Lung cancer earlier this year, it was very advanced, but he fought
bravely, through all his treatment he always had that smile, and the twinkle in his blue eyes was as
bright as ever. He was taken very quickly and peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his loved
ones.
I know I will see him again, and he will walk with me all my life, he will walk by me when life
is easy, but when it becomes hard or I am ill he will carry me. He is back with mum now, two angels
together again.....just as it should be.
They have been back together for a whole year now, enjoying the sunshine, dad will be so happy
now, lots of happy times.
Miss you pops, always and forever...xxxxx

Hi Pops,
Well another year has past, and its now your birthday again, and its a big one, you would have been 70 today, really hope mum is having a huge party for you, I'm sure you will have a special day, surrounded with love.
Mum will have invited all your parents, and friends that are in the sunshine, in heaven, please remember to invite Freddie, he would love a family party.
We all miss you so much, life just doesn't seem the same anymore, probably never will again, and you have left a void in my life, that will never heal, I love you so much, and always will, you were the best man I ever knew, and my hero everyday, all my life. x x x x x x
Happy Birthday Dad X X X X X X
No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,
Whom we loved,
Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did
And who they were
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

Baby Brian........ 1st Birthday x x x
Hi pops, can't believe that liccle cute Baby Brian is a whole one already, he got loads of lovely prezzies and had a wonderful party today.
He has such a magical smile, and the cutest laugh, melts your heart everytime. You and mum would have loved been around him, he is so bright, all chatty and loads of fun.
I know you will have popped in today to be around the family, all together again, it was a lovely sunny and warm day, felt like you were sharing yours with us, and hugging us. It was a lovely party, lots of fun for the kids, and happy times once again.
Still find it tough without you pops, but time is a healer, and I know you are here, I feel you sometimes, feels like you are holding me in my sleep, thats what I always want to feel, dont ever stop.
Hope you and mum are having lots of fun in your sunshine place, miss you both every day...always have and always will, no matter what happens in my life x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
A Crazy World Without You Pops x x x
Funny thing life pops, the world seems such a crazy place without you, everybody seems so lost without you to guide them. You were always the beacon that we all followed, please shine your sunshine on us all, I know I could do with a liccle of your love right now.
Hope you and mum are still having fun, catching up and enjoying your sunshine, lots of lost time, and lost love to get back. I really miss your smile, but know I will find it, when my time comes, I will see you again, I know you will be there waiting... until then watch over me, and guide me always x x x x x
I will always love you and miss you forever x x x
My Dad.......Miss You Pops x x
Seems so strange that it is over a year now, still keep thinking it is all just a crazy dream, and I will wake from the nightmare to see you smile again.
It was Kellys Birthday meal and drinks yeaterday, was a lovely night, all the family together. You and mum would be so very proud of how close the family is, you would adore liccle Baby Brian, he is such a cutey, and has such an infectious smile and laugh, he really warms your heart, no matter how things are, mum would ave treasured him so much, especially as he is named after you dad.
We are having a barbecue at Jennys today, would be nice to think you are walking amongst us, enjoying the good old times, all the family having fun...together.
Miss you Pops, and Mum so much, hope you are enjoying your sunshine place, I will see you again, in time, but until then I feel you are with me every second of every day, just as you always were.... my guiding light. I love you both x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Missing A Great Father x x x
Funny thing life, as I write this, it has just passed the exact time you were gone, I woke up at the same time as I did last year, felt like you were here, holding my hand, telling me today will be ok, a sunny day, a day for the family, and to remember you as that shining beacon at the heart of the family that you always were.
I know it will be hard for the whole family today, you touched so many lives, and left such a void when you were taken so very quickly, not a day goes by without me thinking how much I miss you.
So many things are so different now, but you would say life moves on, never stops, and things always happen for a reason, I know it was your wish to go to mum, a wish you had wanted for so many years, we all know that you wanted to see mums smile, to feel her touch, she was your soul mate, and now you will spend eternity together, in your sunshine place.
Guess life will get better, I know you have been around a lot of late, felt you carrying me a few times, when I have felt weak, just like you used to.
You are the best person I have ever known, and I am proud to say you are my Dad.
I love You Dad, Miss You Forever x x x x x x
