Dedicated to the Memory of my Dear Dad
Who Was Born

and died
6th March 2001
Dear Dad,
Tomorrow marks seven years since I last saw you alive. We washed the pots after Sunday lunch and had our usual chit-chat...you told one of your usual crap jokes, and I laughed and then I left, giving you the usual peck on your cheek.
Two days later you were gone forever and not a day has gone by since where I haven't thought of you.
You were my best friend, my hero, I lived my childhood and adulthood in total awe of you. You were selfless, existed for your family, never asked for anything in return and I am so, so proud of you.
I find I become more and more like you everyday...I see alot of your little quirks in me and others see it too. I'm clumsy, I think too much (and go too deep sometimes), I talk too much garbage, I tell crap jokes only I find funny, and I take afternoon naps. Nothing makes me happier than when someone says to me 'you're just like your dad'. What an honour.
I guess I could say...if I had known it would be the last time I'd see you, I'd have said I love you, or said this, that and everything. Well, I am lucky in one respect. I have no regrets. I don't need 'one more day' to tell you how much you mean to me, me and you...we said it all the time. You knew how I felt about you and I know how you felt about me. What could I say that you don't already know?
I miss you, dad. I want to be able to tell you about David, about my plans, about my latest essay, about how I applied to five Universities and got accepted by all of them (I'm going to Uni - finally!). Mum misses you, L misses you...we all do. But you worked hard all your life and you deserve your rest.
I don't know if I will ever see you again, but I will keep you alive, in my heart, my thoughts and my dreams and as long as I am alive...you will never die. Love is not a thing, it is a feeling. Death cannot kill a feeling. My love for you never dies and death cannot kill what never dies.
I love you and I always will, and this song is dedicated to you.
Your ever-loving daughter

Who can say for certain? Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me, your memory so clear
Deep in the stillness, I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration, can it be?
That you are mine, forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are, beyond the distant star,
I wish upon tonight, to see you smile
If only for a while to know you're there,
A breath away's not far to where you are
Are you gently sleeping, here inside my dream?
And isnt faith believing, all power cant be seen?
As my heart holds you, just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me, everyday
Cause you are mine, forever love
Watching me, from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
AND THAT LOVE WILL LIVE ON AND NEVER LEAVE
Fly me up to where you are, beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile
If only for a while, to know you're there
A breath away's not far
TO WHERE YOU ARE
I LOVE YOU DAD...NOW. ALWAYS. FOREVER XXXX
p.s. you're going to be a grandad. Congratulations xxx
