To my brother John who my family and I lost after 45 years I knew him from birth I was 2 when he was
born and remained close to him till his death. I still cant believe he's gone and a day dosent go by
without him in my thoughts.
A light went out the day you died
Your life was short for this we cried
Our world is empty now your not here
You filled it with laughter and cheer
Memories we have and will never forget
But the day you left us we will always regret.
DREAMS
Dreams are where you relive memories,
a special time gone forever.
Dreams can take you to far away places,
that are only there while you sleep.
Dreams can make you smile or make you cry,
but when you wake you must say good-bye.
Dreamers can be what they want to be.
Dreamers are you and me.
Dreams are where you can see things,
that can no-longer be.
Dreams can take me to you,
no-matter where you are.
Dreams can make me smile or make me cry,
I never want to wake if I have to say good-bye.
Dreams can let me see you,
To touch you and hold you.
That's the only time I can be with you.
That's all I have left of you.
But I'll see you tonight in my dreams.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Ward working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the BEST
If we could have a lifetime wish
And one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
Hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
And neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
And precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
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.

Death leaves a heartache

As i remember him.
John is my eldest Brother and very much missed.
He was a funny, friendly, laid back person with endless friends. I am the youngest of the four of us, with an 8 year age gap between myself and John. I will always remember how patient and gentle he was. As a young girl i was afraid to go upstairs alone and John would wait at the bottom of the stairs, talking to me until i came down. He would carry me upstairs to bed when i fell asleep on the sofa.
Girls would often sit on a bench across the street and stare at his bedroom window, they would pay me a few pence to ask him to come out and speak to them. This always makes me laugh now.
These are only a few of my memories of John and feel so lucky to have had a him as my Brother.
On the day he died i had an overwhelming feeling to go and see him in the hospital following his operation. I had just finished shopping and drove straight to the hospital, passing my home with my shopping in the boot. I parked at the hospital and couldn't explain this feeling of urgency. Having got to the ward, John was sitting up in bed, looking quite well, considering. I spent a couple of hours with him and left feeling easier.
John died that night, i now know what that feeling of urgency was and so glad i acted upon it.
I have now vowed to support and look after the welfare of his wonderful wife Janice, daughter's Samantha & Melissa and Grandchildren Harri & Noah. Being close to them lets me still feel close to John.
God Bless you John, until we meet again. Love always. XX
John you were the funniest most genuine man i had the pleasure of knowing all my life, when we were kids we fought like every other brother and sister but through all the years we could still rely and depend on each other. I have a ocean of memories of our childhood, teenage years and as adults and i am thankful for them but that dosen't stop the pain i still feel knowing i cant tell you my troubles or the antics i get up to, or share the good times and bad times i have in my life, all i can do is talk to you in my thoughts and hope you can hear them.
I miss you now tomorrow yesterday and for the rest of my life, My Friend My Brother
