Age 84 years
Reunited with his wife- My Nan Emily


My grandad was a great man! There was never anything he couldnt make. He was a joiner, even made my
mum a cot for her dolls when she was a child. Memories of my grandad were that of happy ones years
ago, trips to Skelmersdale where he lived. Holidays to Wales all squashed into a caravan. We had
loads of good holidays, including one where his wheelchair got let go of by accident and off he went
down a hill heading straight towards a road. We laughed about it afterwards. He had a very dry sense
of humour, had us all in fits of laughter when I had my last holiday with him. I was 3 months
pregnant with my first child. As his days became his last I was filled with dread, someone I'd known
for all of my life wasnt going to be here anymore. I remember before he was in hospital, I took him
a cup of tea into the bedroom, I helped him drink some of it, then he looked at me and asked me "
are you ok? you make sure you look after that little boy of yours and yourself" I knew then that he
wasnt going to be with us much longer but I didnt want to accept that. I told him "you concentrate
on yourself grandad, get yourself better" he just smiled at me and rested his head back into his
pillow. That was the last conversation I had with him, other than at the hospital when he said he
wanted to go home, Sadly, he never got the chance go home. He passed away the next day.

Rest in Peace grandad...safe in the arms of the angels now and free from harm and pain x~x~x~x~x


If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.

But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.

He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”

“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”

My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart
