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

for brian

Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

love you xxxx

Its been a really busy day gramps! I have not stopped running around after megan,mason and ella!They did not know what to open first this morning!
But i have not stopped thinking about you and nanny all day! I miss you both so much! Been to the christmas party at lizs tonight and it was so weird! I was waiting for you to walk through the door! I got a bit emotional and thought it best to come home so i didnt set everyone else off!Some people are just better at hiding it then me!
megan misses you so much too and sends all her love! She has found it weird too!I did not think it would affect her as much as it has!!She will learn to cope like we all will at some point!
When we have another clear night i will look for yours and nans stars and send you a kiss!
love you both
me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Merry Christmas Mum And Dad X X X X

Well Christmas day is here, the first one without you, doesn't seem real, but I guess thats just life. I know Max is missing his daddy, I think we both just keep expecting you to walk through the door and smile and say hello...
Went up to the grave this morning, just to say hello, and let you both know I love you. Don't think Christmas will ever be the same again, but only time will tell.
Miss you so much dad, today of all days I know you will be holding my hand, I need to feel your warmth, that feeling of sunshine on my face to know you are there...and the sun has just started shining through the window, I know you are with me always.
I Love You and Mum, Miss you both terribly
