Dad was complaining of pains in his stomach but the stubborn old swine that he was would not go to
the doctors, four days later I went to see him and was shocked at how much weight he had lost. He
was in pain and his skin was a pale yellow.

Our Andrew phoned the doctor to come and when he got there he said there was some thing wrong with
his kidneys and was told he would have to go to hospital.He said after his sunday dinner,(only way
he would go).lol
After a week in hospital me my mam and our Andrew were told to come to the hospital it was friday
the 17th october.We were told to wait in the little room then 40 minutes later my dad came in,then a
couple of minutes after that the Doctor and a nurse came in shut the door and closed the blinds.
My dad was told he had secondary liver cancer and told there was nothing they could do he only had a
couple of months left.
I felt my life drain from my body.
He said he wanted to go home and the Doctor said that it was fine,so we took him home and he loved
been with his family for those last few days. he died peacfully on the 30th of october 2008 less
than 2 weeks after leaving hospital,not 2 months - 2 weeks.
But he was still the joker to the end and I am proud of him for that.

He leaves my mam Doreen of 41 years together and 3 sons me our Andrew and our Derek who turned out
ok through him.
5 granchildren and sisters and brothers nephews and neices.
we all love you dad and you will be missed every day I just wished I told you that I loved you when
you were alive.
Our linda is up there with you and she`ll keep eye on you so don`t be afraid.We will always love you
dad.

p.s can I just say that Sunderland Royal Hospital has to be the worst Hospital in the North East
for care as we were told nothing. My dad said he had nothing to eat for 2 days until I comlained
then he was given soup.If you have any family in there get them out.This hospital is a joke

God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,
And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you!!

GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART.

IF ONLY I COULD WIPE AWAY EACH TEAR YOU ALL HAVE CRIED,

AND TAKE AWAY THE HEARTACHE THAT EATS YOU UP INSIDE.

IF ONLY I COULD TELL YOU THAT THE PAIN WILL FADE AWAY,

IF ONLY I COULD TELL YOU WHY YOUR ANGEL HAD TO DIE,

IF ONLY I HAD ALL THE ANSWERS TO WHY THEY SAID GOOD-BYE.

IF ONLY I COULD HOLD YOU CLOSE AND TELL YOU TO CRY NO MORE,

IF ONLY I COULD DO IT,I'D BRING THEM BACK FOREVERMORE.

WE ALL KNOW THE" IF ONLYS" NEVER CAN COME TRUE,

BUT IF THEY COULD I'D DO IT ALL ,TO COMFORT ALL OF YOU

I CANNOT PROMISE YOU SOMETHING THAT I JUST CAN'T DO,

I KNOW NOT ALL THE ANSWERS OR I'D GIVE THEM ALL TO YOU.

I CAN MAKE YOU ONE PROMISE THAT WILL NEVER FADE AWAY,

I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND AND PRAY FOR YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY!

I'LL BE HERE RIGHT BESIDE YOU UNTIL THE VERY END,

I'LL DO ANYTHING I CAN FOR YOU, MY TRUEST, DEAREST FRIEND!

I WON'T PROMISE YOU THAT TEARS WON'T COME OR THAT THE PAIN WILL EVER CEASE,

I WILL MAKE YOU THIS PROMISE...GOD WILL BRING YOU PEACE!

SO WHEN YOU'RE SAD AND LONELY AND FEEL YOU CAN'T GO ON,
REMEMBER THEY'RE INSIDE YOUR HEART, ALTHOUGH GOD
CALLED THEM HOME.

love Jude.x

⊱♥⊰
MORNING SWEET ANGEL . X
⊱♥⊰
You walked through my world
In this dance we call life,
Dancing with me in joy,
Dancing with me in strife.
⊱♥⊰
You gave me the song,
And gave me the chance;
To learn about love,
When you taught me to dance
⊱♥⊰
It was not just the music,
Nor the steps that we made
But is now in sweet memorie;
That never will fade.
⊱♥⊰
For love was your music,
And life was your song;
You taght me to dance,
And how to be strong.
⊱♥⊰
You showed me what love was
Even in your goodbye;
Now we've come full circle
In the dance we call life.
⊱♥⊰
So, dance with the angels,
And may you find rest;
Your song's in my heart,
And my life, fully blessed.
⊱♥⊰

GOODNIGHT SWEET ANGEL

♥ ♥ Somewhere Out There. ♥ ♥

Beneath the pale blue night,

Someone's thinking of me,

And loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,

Someone's saying a prayer,

Then we'll find one another,

In that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,

It helps to think we might be wishing

On the same bright star,

And when the night will start to sing

A lonesome lullaby,

It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the

Same big sky.

Somewhere out there,

If love can see us through,

Then, we'll be together,

Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.

LOVE JUDE.X
