My dad was an amazing person, he was loved by so many people he only had to touch someone's life once to be remembered. He always lit up the room whenever he walked in with his cheeky grin. He was an amazing dad and extremely loving, he never had a bad word to say about anybody and nobody had a bad word to say about him. Not only was he my dad but he was also my best friend, since he passed away the sky has been alot brighter because there's a new star shining so brightly watching down over his loved ones. Heaven has now gained a new angel. He did plenty of mental things such as jumping off a mountain, riding The Stealth at Thorpe Park, bunjee jumping, white river rafting, snorkling and the list goes on. He always lived life to the max no matter how badly people made him feel. He was such a big movie fan omg there probably isn't a film in the world that he hasn't watched, well...maybe Scarface. He was never afraid of being in the lime light, he loved to get up on the karaoke and sing his heart away whether it was "Mustang Sally" or "UB40". He had such a big collection of DVD's he knew the name's of the actor's and what other films they had been in. He was a really big fan of England and Arsenal, he has pretty much got a wardrobe full of England shirts. I'm just happy that he's gone to a better place where he isn't in pain anymore and he can be a free spirit. One thing i will never forget is that my dad used to tickle me under my chin digging his fist into me. We had such a strong bond that can never be broken by anybody. He was the best dad in the world and no one will ever take his place in my heart.


THE FUNERAL
The funeral took place on Thursday 21st February 2008 at Oaston Road Cemetry and it was a hard thing for everyone to do, there was so many people there. We had people arriving at the house and i think there must have been about 50 or more. When the cars arrived to pick us up everyone fell silent and most of us broke down into tears. There were flowers around dad's coffin most of them in white and red, the colours of the England flag, and there were flowers in our front lawn which were placed ontop of the car before we left. When we arrived at cemetry, my cousin's husband began playing the bagpipes as we drove up to the plot. As we got closer, we realised there were between 40 to 80 people already there waiting for us. People had traveled from London for my Dad's send off, i don't think people realised just how popular my Dad was. We had relatives and friends carrying his coffin and over it we draped an England flag. Everybody who showed up to the funeral wore England shirts and jeans because my Dad wasn't really a big fan of black. When the service began the Vicar said a few things about my Dad and then my Auntie read out my speech for me because i couldn't bring myself to do it, the song we had was Westlife's "You Raise Me Up". Before we left, a few of us threw roses in on the coffin and a few people threw in some soil. At the end we were taken to the wake where there were pictures of dad pasted around the room. We had a DVD made up of pictures and had music added to it which touched the hearts of a few people. We all had balloons to write a message on for Dad and released them in the pub garden. As we were doing this, two dove's flew over out of nowhere and sat on the edge of the fence. People were wondering whether they had been released but no one had done it. After we realeased all of the balloons they flew away, and about half an hour after they had returned and sat back on the fence. A few people had one to many to drink and couldn't handle it unfortuantely, luckily they were thrown out. That day showed just how many people loved and respected my Dad, he was such a popular man who touched the hearts of so many people. I can't begin to explain how proud i am to be his daughter.


Mine & Dad's Song

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans, don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter, in all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay

Deep in my soul, I feel so lonely
All of my hopes, faiding away
I've longed for love, oh like everyone else does
I know i'll keep searching, after today

So here it is girl
We've got it all now

And here we are babe
What do ya say

We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay

I know it's late and i know you're weary
I know you're plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay

Love you xxx
