Hi Grand, I have just wrote a message to nan - i can't believe its been a year on Saturday that nan fell asleep. I hope you and nan are happy and looking down on us all with a smile on your faces. I miss you both so much it hurts but it makes me smile when i think of you and nan together - because thats how it should be. I was looking at some pictures the other day from when you and nan took me and karley to Blackpool for the week i look awful on the pictures, but i dont seem as bad when i see you sat at the side of me smiling. Thankyou for everything Grandad you did for me throughout my whole life i love you forever. Give nan a kiss for me on Saturday morning.
Love you loads xxxxxxxxxtashaxxxxxxxxx

Grand

Grandad, Just wanted to say how much we all miss you.
Im sorry you had to leave us but glad your not suffering anymore, i hated seeing you so ill. At least your back with nan now, i know how hurt you was when you were apart.
Thanks for all the laughs, so many happy memories. I dont think i'll ever meet such a unselfish, funny, loving and proud man as you were. I am as proud to have you and nan as grandparents, as you was of your family! Always in our hearts and thoughts love forever Jame & Gill xxx

For all Ronalds family xxxx

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said This is eternity,
And all I've promised you.
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Thought there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

dad

dad we never
got to say goodbye
you left so quickly
but we understand why

we knew you was hurting
and hiding the pain
when mum was taken from us
you would never be the same

we all found it hard
and were falling apart
but we knew you would be left
with a broken heart

but you held it together
and kept very strong
and you would say your 4 girls
could never do no wrong

you were always so proud of us
and us of you too
we could never have asked
for a better dad than you

and now your back together
with the love of your life
our wonderful mum
and your ever loving wife

now we stand here together
we will begin to smile
because we know you will probably
get nagged for a while

but untill the day
when we're all back together
this rose gives you endless love
for ever and ever

goodnight dad, and give mum our love
