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
Dad
Hi Pops, hope you had a lovely easter in the sunshine, did you get mum a lovely easter egg, bet that felt really good, just to spend happy times with her. I miss you both so very much, just wish I could see those blue eyes one more time, hear your voice say hello son...simple things, but things that mean so much, things that I miss so much..it really hurts.
Life is really tough at the moment, not enjoying life without you, but I know you will show me warmth, just so i know you are here with me. I know you have carried me of late as you have been in my thoughts every day, you have given me the strength to smile even in my darkest moments..thats when you are with me.
Miss You Pops..X X X
Pops......
Well Dad, had the liccle house warming party, was pretty good, all the family had a good time, just wish that you could have been here, although I know you were here in spirit..
Another week has past and will soon be eight whole months, time is passing so quickly at the moment, seems like you blink and another month has gone by.
Still think about you all the time, and sometimes get upset at the silly things...things that remind me of you, no matter how small... need to feel the warmth of your love dad, life is so hard sometimes.
I know you are with me, I feel you near me when I feel weak and broken, I know it is you that brightens the day, and puts the sunshine back into my heart.
Miss You pops, enjoy been back with mum, I know you are where you longed for..and we will meet again...Love you both. X x x x x x X
Miss You
Hi Dad, seems like only yesterday that we were sat in the house chatting away, having a laugh and sometimes our liccle disagreements, although you were always right...
Time passes so very quickly, sometimes find it hard to believe just how many months it is since you left, but the pain never goes away, just sits there in your chest, at the back of your mind waiting to pounce, then it really hurts, and feels like I have lost you all over again.
Starting to get settled in the new house, got most of the decorating done, and would you believe I did some DIY..lol..I finished the wooden floor in the room, and painted the edges, must have got that from you, just didn't realise I could do it.
Max misses you every day, he still stops and looks at the old house when we are out walking, as if remembering you and happier times, he sometimes tries to run in the garden, but I stop him. He goes totaly crazy running around the house when I come home from work, just like he did whenever you came home, so he still is just as loving, I try to give him as many hugs and cuddles as I can, because I know that is what you would want.
Well today is a lovely sunny day, really warm, so I know you and mum are gardening, and sitting in the sun. I am having some of the family around for a drink tonight, just to sort of celibrate the new home, I know you will be watching, so enjoy.
Until we meet again Dad, in the sunshine, sometime in the future...I love you always and miss you just as much X x x x x X
P.S Tell Mum I miss her so much too...10 whole years, without her X x x X

Well Mum and Dad, your first anniversary back in each others arms, no great distance between you anymore, I know you have both missed each other so terribly.
Dad will be so happy now he has you by his side, in the sunshine, free and happy. Hope you had a brilliant day, mum will have cooked one of her special meals for you Dad.
We all miss you so much, even after so much time, the memories are painful, but I know you are both happy, and I will, one day when my time comes, see you both in the sunshine, until that day I will always have you both in my heart, protecting me always.
