ROD PASSED AWAY AGED 54 YEARS AFTER FIGHTING PROSTRATE AND BONE CANCER THAT TOOK THE USE OF HIS ARMS
AND LEGS. HE STARTED OFF HAVING PAINS IN HIS HIPS BUT WAS TOLD BY OUR GP THAT HE HAD A GROIN STRAIN.
AFTER REPEATED TRIPS FOR OVER A YEAR THEY FINALLY DID AN X-RAY, THAT AFTERNOON WE WERE TOLD HE HAD
TERMINAL BONE CANCER. HE HAD A SCAN TWO DAYS LATER THAT SHOWED HE HAD CANCER FROM HIS SCULL TO HIS
TOES.ROD COULD NOT HANDLE THE DIAGNOSIS AND BECAME VERY ANGRY TO THE ONE PERSON CLOSEST TO HIM!!!HE
WAS ONLY GIVEN SIX MONTHS TO LIVE BUT HIS SHEER ANGER GAVE HIM SIX YEARS. HIS STRENGTH AMAZED
EVERYONE. HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO GIVE HIM A TABLET OR INJECTION WITHOUT A BATTLE OF REASON.
THIS STRENGTH KEPT HIM GOING. SADLY THE CANCER PARALISED HIS NERVES TO HIS THROAT SO HE COULD NO
LONGER EAT OR DRINK. HE WENT INTO THE HOSPICE FOR PAIN RELIEF. THEY SAID HE WOULD NOT LAST THE
NIGHT. I PROMISED HIM I WOULD NOT LEAVE HIM. HE PROVED THEM WRONG AGAIN AS I SAT BY HIS BED
CONTINUALLY FOR ANOTHER TEN DAYS UNTIL HIS PASSING. NOW FREE FROM PAIN AND SAFE IN THE ARMS OF THE
ANGELS XXX ROD LEFT BEHIND JAN, STEPCHILDREN EMMA PAUL AND KATY. XXXX

I know that it would ring all day
As i would ring and ring you
Just to ask if your ok
We could speak for hours and hours
And tell each other about our day
If only there was a telephone in heaven
I know that i would ring often your way
There as to be a line thats open
As heaven as just about all
There must be a telephone in heaven
As i just need to make one call
So love if you hear it ringing
Please pick up, as you know its me
I pray and i hope theres a telephone
So i can i ring you each day at three
Yes i wish theres a telephone in heaven
Its not much i ask for from god
Just so i can keep in touch
With my loved one, soul mate, my rod.

IF ONLY.
If Heaven Had A Phone
I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.
There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.
To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,
I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one is doing fine.
LOVE ALWAYS YOUR JAN XX

Wedding band
A teardrop fell upon your picture
As i held it tight in my hand
My eyes were an ocean of tears
All im left with is a wedding band
There's no way to look to the future
Not when im haunted by my past
Ive pleaded i dont lose my mind
For i want your memorys to last
If i whispered again that i love you
Ive whispered it a thousand times
So instead of actions and words
Ive writen it in my rhymes
If i die tomorrow i will be happy
For i know i will see you again
And i will hold you forever more
Free us both of this hurting pain

Let me come in where you are weeping friend
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours,
can understand.
Let me come in,
I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you to cease your weeping friend
Tears bring relief.
Let me come in... and hold your hand.
For I have known sorrow such as yours,
And understand...

"To Where You Are"
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are my
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 awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
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 awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are...

As a new year starts and an old one ends,

Remembering how they enriched our lives
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.♥ ♥

Immediately think of you.♥ ♥

Perhaps love is like a resting place, A shelter from the storm,
It exists to give you comfort, It is there to keep you warm.
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone, The memory of love will always bring you home...
Perhaps love is like a window, Perhaps an open door,
It invites you to come closer, It wants to show you more.
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do, The memory of love will see you through...
Love to some is like a cloud, To some as strong as steel,
For some a way of living, For some a way to feel.
And some say love is holding on, And some say letting go,
And some say love is everything, And some say they don't know...
Perhaps love is like the ocean, Full of conflict, full of pain,
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains,
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true,
My memories of love will always be of you...

GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS
Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes
Or the way you brightened each day,
Or your smile which is etched in our memories,
So you’re never far away?
Could we ever forget those priceless moments?
The answer, of course, is never.
For you were part of our lives for a brief time,
But you’ll be part of our hearts forever.

Christmas bells are ringing
At every corner store
Pretty lights are gleaming
Like all the years before
But the light that used to shine in me
And bring me joy and cheer
Has gone away for good in seems
Now that you aren't here...
All the words of the Christmas songs
I used to love to sing
They used to make me happy
Now sorrow is all they bring
Everything reminds me
That you have gone away
It hurts too much remembering
Those happy Chrismas days...
Maybe someday I'll smile again
Maybe I'll even sing
Maybe I'll even feel like joining in
When I hear the carolers sing.
Maybe I'll look at the picutres
Of Christmases past with you
And Thank God for the memories
And the time I spent with you...
Maybe that will happen someday
But it won't happen this year
I will go through the motions
But I'll feel no holiday cheer
I'll smile on the outside
Like everyone wants me to
But inside I'll be crying
My heart will be yearning for you...
I hope your Christmas in Heaven
Is full of peace and love
And if I listen very close
Can you give me a sign from above?
Just a little something
To let me know you're okay
And that even though you're gone
You're not so far away...
c Nancy Thomason
God sends His lovely angel tears
To us this time of year
They float and tumble through the air
And send out Christmas cheer.
Each flake He sends is special
From out of wintry skies
They paint a pretty picture
To soothe our weary eyes.
Like sparkling gems, they fill the sky
And quietly take up space
They seem to flow in harmony
Attired in angel lace.
At Christmas time when all is calm
We look to things above
For angel tears and Christmas
To fill our lives with love.
So if you get to feeling blue
And are plagued by worldly fears
Just look outside your window
God's shedding angel tears...

SENDING ALL MY LOVE TO YOU ANGEL AND YOUR FAMILY AT CHRISTMAS.XXXXX
THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT,SORRY FOR ANY MISSED CANDLES,BUT YOU & YOUR ANGEL ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS.PAULA.XXXXX��������♥
We've shared our hearts, full of Holiday Cheer
and shopped for presents for loved ones this year
The house is dressed up with garland and lights
That sparkle and shine through the Holiday nights.
But even with all of this Holiday bliss
There's someone we lost that we terribly miss
And as this Christmas Day draws near
We wish with all of our hearts he was here.
He's living his life way up past the stars
Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn and Mars
He's spending his Christmas in Heaven, you see
And last night as I slept, a dream came to me.
He was standing before me, happy and well
He said to me "I have something to tell…
Heaven's more wondrous than you would believe
It's the greatest of gifts I could ever receive.
I'd like for you all to remember the good…
You know that I'd be there if only I could.
So don't feel so bad that I'm not there
There are so many memories you can share.
As you gather together, I'm sure that you'll find
The gifts deep within you that I left behind.
Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love
They shine from your hearts as I shine from above..."
c Kris Smith
I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.
I felt your touch in the sun today
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared so high.
I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain;
It seemed as each tiny raindrop fell
it quietly said your name.
I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete;
You may have died...but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.
As long as the sun shines...
the wind blows...
the rain falls...
You will live on inside of me forever
for that is all my heart knows.
