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
Christmas x x x
Hya pops, well another Christmas without you and mum, doesn't get any easier, still miss you both everyday. Had a really good Christmas though, with Samantha and the kids, was a lovely family time, just like the ones from when I was liccle, made a lovely meal, and got lots of lovely presents, but was still missing that one thing, and that was you and that lovely smile.
Did you and mum have a lovely time, bet mum made one of her legendary Christmas dinners, yummy, bet you had lots of fun
Well nearly new year, so have fun pops, don't get too drunk, love and miss you everyday, until we meet again, in your sunshine place x x x

Those Miss You Days
Hya Pops
Seems like forever since we last chatted, since we sat watching tv, trying to figure out who the killer was on CSI, and just putting the world to rights lol. Can't believe its been nearly 3 years since you were taken to your sunshine place, time passes so quickly, blink and life moves on so very quickly.
You would love to see Sam and the kids, and Joe, one big happy family, I now know what you and mum had, the true meaning of finding that special someone,
your everything, thats what mum was to you, and thats what Samantha is to me, she reminds me a lot of mum.
How's mum, bet you have had lots of fun up in the sunshine, time to catch up with all the special moments you missed so very much, we all miss you both every day, and people say the pain goes away, but it never ever does, you just learn to live, and deal with it each and every day, one day at a time.
So hope you are having fun, give mum a hug from us all, and I know you are around us every day, we were so very lucky to have had such wonderful parents, and thats what I will always remember and carry in my heart forever.
Take care pops, miss you so much, love you both, always in my thoughts and dreams, good night godbless, love you x x x x x x x x x

Monday
You were my Angel,
But angels were too few.
God needed Angels,
And so he sent for you.
Tuesday
Smile of an Angel,
With a twinkle in your eye.
I'll remember you forever,
Only for now, I'll say goodbye.
Wednesday
Laughter came so easy,
To someone with your smile.
I was lucky to have known you,
And loved you for a while.
Thursday
I borrowed you from heaven,
Now you must return.
Of all the lessons in my life,
This is the hardest one to learn.

A Silent Tear By Gaynor Llewellyn
Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me
Just sit and relax and you will find
I'm really still there inside your mind
Don't cry for me now I'm gone
For I am in the land of song
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear
Don't think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, no longer old
I'm in that place that's filled with love
Known to you all, as "UP ABOVE"
Saturday
It's a Time of Heartfelt Sadness
It's a time of heartfelt sadness
When a loved one passes on
But know your loved one lives in joy
And peace where he (or she) has gone
Oh how much he will be missed
That's where the sadness lies
But others who have missed him
now rejoice in Heaven's skies
We know one day we'll join him
Because our time on earth will flee
We'll then live with him forever
Throughout all eternity
--By Ron Tranmer ---
Sunday
I Have a Place in Heaven
I have a place in heaven
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears.
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
