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

A Year Without You Pops x x
Well Dad, it's almost a year, just a few more hours and you were with mum, seems really strange to be writing this, knowing that so much has changed in this year.
Life seems so messed up at the moment, it's like the world has gone crazy without you, so many things feel so different now. I have seen so many changes in the family, but we are all still so close, you would be so proud of us, no matter what life has thrown at us, the Acky spirit has come shining through.
I know you and mum will both be walking amongst us all of Saturday, please help to comfort us, we will all need it, to feel your warmth, and your smile shining in all our hearts. It will be a tough day, but I know you will be there.
Love you always, Miss you forever x x x x

Heart Broken
Funny thing life, just when you think that the world has thrown everything it has at you, all of a sudden your heart is broken, and the world seems such a darker place.
Not feeling very well tonight dad, got some pretty severe pains, life has been so cruel for so long now, losing you left a void in my life, an emptiness that will never go away, and now, all these months later, new heartache.
If I could have just one more wish, it would be to have a cuddle from you, and to hear your voice, telling me that the storm clouds in your heart will go, just have faith. Feeling very lonely at the moment, feels like I am all alone in this whole world, and will never find a new life, a better life, with someone that just loves me....is that so much to ask dad.
I really need you to carry me pops, my heart is breaking, and I feel so weak, so drained, so low, please send me some sunshine, some warmth, just to lift me out of the dark.
Give mum a hug from me, tell her I miss her so much, love you both... x x x x x x
P.S Someone has got your house... feels really strange, really weird, but life goes on, you would say it was only a house... x x x x x x
Enjoy Your Sunshine
Well dad, here we are again, had a funny sort of week, started pretty bad, with lots of heartache, but as the week has gone on, you showed me your sunshine.
Went to flamingoland on friday, was funny to be there with the family, because the last time we were there, it was with you, was a fantastic day, really sunny and warm, thanks for the sunshine pops, made all the difference, felt like you were walking with us. I took Sam and the kids in my car, with Becky, and John and Sara, with Josh, Kelly and Baby Brian came too, was a wonderful day, lots of fun and laughter, was a change to smile and be happy.
John and Sara are having a barbecue today, so should be fun, hope you will walk amongst us, to enjoy seeing the family together, having fun, enjoying the lovely hot sunny weather.
Miss you Dad, enjoy your sunshine place, hope you and Mum are having a lovely barbecue together...you will always be with me, and I will always love you all..
Goodnight Godbless... x x x x x x
