I didn't see you for many years
Until that call brought fourth my fears
I was told to fly home for you
The news I got I knew was true

You were in hospital about to go
I needed to tell you I loved you so
You were my dad my rock my friend
I never thought your love would end

In that bed I watch you die
Holding your hand with a tear in my eye
Waiting for you to laugh out loud
It wasn't your time to sit on a cloud

God called you and opened the gate
He now has you for his mate
Now your gone I know what I had
I didn't say I love you dad


Watch over us all Jimmy love you always

Missing you

Well paps there was another family get together that you werent able to attend to, they just arent the same without you, was wondering were you there and we just couldnt see you,, bet you were watching us drink too much lol,, and another christmas is almost here too and we are wondering where is all the time going this will be your fourth one away from us paps and it hurts just as much each year. Met a fella in tescos a few weeks back and he didnt even know you had passed away sometimes im sitting thinking bout you and i feel as if you are still here with us guess thats me just wishing and hoping that you were, if love had of been a factor of keeping you here you would never of left i know that for sure. Paps look down on us and give us a wee sign you are there, missing you as much as ever we all do, love and kisses from us all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Daddy, its me again. Just a quick message to tell you that I love and miss you loads. Wee Cameron said he wanted to go up to your house in the sky and tell you that you had to come back down here and stay with us forever. Out of the mouths of babes eh Daddy, if only it was as simple as that. Anyway just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. Love and miss you always Daddy xoxo

Granda, there were always days when i needed someone to talk to, someone to listen to me and someone to be there for me, you were always that person. You were always the one i asked for help and the first person i asked for advice. You were always there for me no matter what. I had to take my car to the garage for a few hours last week and i thought to myself 'this is when granda would have been there to give me a lift home' You have taght me so much and I never got to say thank you. It's funny the things you remember about people when they are not here, everytime i think of you i always remember the time on the caravan site that i accidentally said a swear word in front of you, i was so embarrased and ashamed because i felt like i had disrespected you but you just laughed and said 'it's ok, your a big boy'. I have all my family around me but still i wish you were here to talk to on the bad days. I always knew things would be ok as long as i spoke to you. Losing Bailey for me was the hardest thing i've ever been through, it still hurts today, it hurts more today but it would hurt a lot more if you were not there to mind him. I wish i still had both of you in my life but i know the 2 of you are doing fine, together.
I would choose no other man to raise my son than you.
Thank you for being you
Love you always
Aaron

Hi Daddy, just a wee message to let you know you have another great grandaughter. She was born to Chad and Zoe last night weighing 6lb 12 and a half oz, she is called Heidi Allison Amanda Lyttle and she is a wee stunner. She has to see orthopaedic surgeons in morning about her wee foot but hopefully all goes well. Aaron, Karen, Dylan, Myself and Drew were at hospital waiting on her arrival. You would be very proud of Chad and how mature he has become. He is already very protective of his little daughter. Seems no time at all since my boys were all tiny babies, time goes by sometimes too fast. Look over little Heidi for us daddy and keep her safe. Will say night night for now, Love and miss you always. Give our wee Bailey a big kiss and hug from me xoxoxoxo

They say time is a great healer, they don,t know what they are talking about, its coming 4 years since you went away to pastures new and im saying it aint easy not having my hero, my friend, my one in a million in my life where im able to go and have a chat or pick up the phone and hear his voice on the other end. I hope you are thinking about us the way we think about you, you were too good in life to be forgotten in death every body says that about you paps they knew you so well. Reece was saying he misses his granda jimmy, we all do and the pain of missing you wont heal i know that, nite paps sweet dreams hope to see you in mine xx xx
