I can't remember much about my father as a child.He enlisted in the regular army on 12th Oct.1922.serving in The East Lancashire Regiment and was stationed all over the world. He loved the army and would never have come out but for his age.He was awarded 5 medals and was very proud to wear them on Rememberance day.In later years his loves were gardening, fishing and Benson his beloved dog. He lived agood , full life and died of old age.
We'll meet again ........ Joan xxx
~ A Blessing For Absence ~
May you know that absence is full of
tender presence and that nothing
is ever lost or forgotten.
May the absences in your life
be full of eternal echo.
May you sense around you
the secret Elsewhere which holds the
presences that have left your life.
May you be generous in your embrace of loss.
May the sore of your grief turn into
a well of seamless presence.
May your compassion reach out to
the ones we never hear from and may you have
the courage to speak out for the excluded ones.
May you become the gracious
and passionate subject of your own life.
May you not disrespect your mystery
through brittle words or false belonging.
May you be embraced by God in whom
dawn and twilight are one, and may your
longing inhabit its deepest dreams
within the shelter of the Great Belonging.
(John O'Donohue)
*ღ.......................*ღ*.......................ღ*
To believe in Angels
is to celebrate a reality
you cannot see,
to respect a realm
you're not ready for yet

~ Two Souls One Path ~
There is a path
For every soul to follow.
There is a dream
For every soul to dream.
There is a star
For every soul to see.
There is an angel
For every soul like thee.

The mountain mist condenses in the sun,
As the rain drifts down from on high,
At knowing a loved ones have passed on,
You can hear the angels cry.
The thoughts we hold of them are dear,
Memories fleeing behind our eye,
A smile flashes and then a tear,
When you hear the angels cry.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
Love always

FOREVER IN OUR THOUGHTS
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:• ♥
We think about you every day;
our hearts they break in two
as we realise how much we’ve lost
in no longer having you.
But we gather strength in knowing
That you’re in a peaceful place
And one day we’ll hold that familiar hand
And see your smiling face.
LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU BEAUTIFUL ANGEL
If I should pass before you,
At my graveside do not cry.
Just like the love between us,
My true self will never die.
Do not trail with endless flowers,
What was buried is just a shell.
My Spirit will be free,
In that Summerland I will dwell.
I’ll visit you with the morning sunbeams
That through your curtains sneek,
And just before you wake,
I’ll place a kiss upon your cheek.
I’ll mingle with the raindrops
That run softly down your face,
And feel myself against your skin
Just like we would embrace.
I’ll join in with the laughter
that brightens up your day,
And when you’re feeling sad,
I’ll wipe you tears away.
So if I pass before you,
At my graveside do not cry.
Just like the love between us,
My true self will never die.

Dad is such a special word,
A word that brings to mind,
A big warm smile, a helping hand,
A way of being kind,
Devotion to the family,
A word of patience too,
"Dad" is such a special word,
Because it stands for "you".

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on;
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart.
For as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

FOR JOHN
I wish I could see you one more time
Come walking through the door.
But I know that it’s impossible,
I will hear your voice no more.
I know you can feel my tears
And you don’t want me to cry,
Yet my heart is broken
Because I can’t understand why
Someone so precious had to die.
I pray that God will give me strength
And somehow get me through
As I struggle with this heartache
That was caused by losing you.

Although we seem so far apart,
You're always here within our hearts.
You filled our lives with joy and pleasure;
You were to us a precious treasure.
A little while shall pass and then,
We'll see each other once again.
What joy of joys when all is well,
Together again in peace we'll dwell.
