In memory of a wonderful dad, grandad and great grandad, William Middleton, known to everyone as "Billy". You passed away peacefully, at your home in Bolton, on New Years Day 2008, found fast asleep by myself and my husband Paul, unfortunately that picture is hard to get out of my minds eye. Dad, you were 77 years old, and your 77th birthday party was a night to remember and you had just spent a fantastic Christmas with us and been out on New Years Eve having a brilliant time in your local pub, the Sharman Arms. Everyone in there adored you. Once seen, never forgotten. Everyone that met you was touched by you. You always said that when it was your time to go, you wanted to have a few drinks, go to sleep and not wake up, and that is just how it happened. You didn't suffer and I am so glad about that.
I hadn't seen you, my Dad, for 42 years and we were re-united five years ago, that was one of the best days of my life, the others being the birth of my daughter Jennie, son Alex, seeing my grandson Cameron being born, and marrying my husband Paul. The last five years with you had been absolutely wonderful. You lived in Southport which isn't that far away but too far if you needed anything or any help, so 18 months ago we mutually agreed that you would come and live near me and Paul and our family so that we could be there in a flash if you needed us. So in September 2006 Dad moved to Bolton. Paul, Alex and myself decorated and carpeted the flat in your favourite colours and your face was a picture when you walked into your flat for the first time. I remember you saying that "no-one has ever done anything like this for you before". You were so happy and said many times that moving to Bolton was the best thing you ever did and that you never really wanted to go back to Southport again. The last eighteen months of your life were some of the happiest days of both our lives.
The bond between us grew so strong and Paul and you were the best of mates, the banter between you both was fantastic. You used to say that Paul was such a wonderful son. They loved each other so much. We saw you nearly every day and you came for tea twice a week and loved roast lamb on Sundays, you gave the bone to Taz, our Collie. The bond between Taz and you Dad was so lovely to see. Taz reminded you of Sparkie, your old collie. It was really great you living near us because you were also able to spend time with your grand-daughter Jennie, her partner Rick and great-grandson Cameron and your grandson Alex, who all adored you. We were one big happy family.
I spoke to you Dad everyday on the phone, that is one thing I really miss, just hearing your voice saying "pies have come" or "I've put kettle on lass". I still talk to you everyday dad and you are always with me wherever I go. I have even planted a Red Rose in the garden just for you and it has now come into bloom. Red being your favourite colour of course because of your team "Manchester United", who you have supported since you were a boy.
Your memory will always live on in all your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. You are sadly missed by everyone but especially me dad, your eldest and first born daughter who got to know you at last for the person you really were. I have so many memories of your smiles, laughter, silly sayings and the times we have spent shouting at the TV when we have watched the footy, these memories I will treasure forever.
Paul, myself, Jennie, Rick, Alex and Cameron, and your little cockney sparrow Ann, miss you so much and love you with every beat of our hearts. You are together now with your beloved brother Ted and sister Olive and I know you are at peace.
I will love you always, your daughter Lynne xxxxx
god bless
*~~*~~* Is It Reality *~~*~~*
I heard you speak to me last night
I heard you plain as day
You spoke to me just like you did
Before you went away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The music of your voice
I still can hear it yet
It was so very beautiful
How could I ever forget
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I closed my eyes and saw your face
Smiling down at me
I thought, this is only a dream
It's not reality
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But these dreams sustain me
They help me to go on
When I'm asleep and dreaming
I can believe that your not gone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or are you really, here with me
When I close my eyes at night
Telling me that you're happy
Telling me you're alright

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

Sent with love ♥
Why is our heart breaking.
When we think of you,
Why is our body aching
With our memories so true,
⋱♥⋰
Why did you have to go,
We need you now today,
Its because we love you so,
In each and every way,
⋱♥⋰
We will try and keep on going,
We will try to keep so strong,
But you should be here beside us.
In our home where you belong.
⋱♥⋰

ღ ♥ To Sweet Eternity ღ ♥
We all have different journeys
Different paths along the way
We are all meant to learn some things
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know
For some the journey's quicker
For some the journey's slow
But when the journey finally ends
We'll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace
Together with the Lord.

Christmas Once More - by Margaret Pilkington
Christmas time once more is here
Carol singer's filling us full of cheer,
Snow on the path's shining like gold
Little bird's in their nest's shivering with cold,
Everyone in their home's all snuggle and cosy
Their cheeks aglow and red and rosy.
Here I am in my home all alone
Christmas isn’t the same now your gone,
The night's are colder than ever before
I keep on hoping you will walk in the door,
But my wait is in vain of this I am sure
‘Cos I know your in a land that's peaceful and pure.
I will smile and wish everyone well for xmas this year
And put on a face that look's full of cheer,
I will laugh and be merry and join in the fun
And not let them see inside that I’m glum,
So please my Angel come see me this year
Please fill my heart with your warmth and your cheer.

I had a dream last night..
Like the night before
That a beautiful angel came..
And knocked at my door
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
I opened the door..
With much delight
There was my angel
Glowing so bright
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
I could not believe it..
I had to wipe my eyes
For my angel had flown..
Down from the sky
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
I held my angel so very tight
In my dream I had last night
Was it a dream?
Or was I awake?
I hope it was real..
For mine and my angels sake.

Fly away my angel,
Spread your wings and fly;
Take the beauty of your soul,
And share it with the sky.
۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰۰̮̑●̮̑۰
Take the warmth within your heart,
And put the sun to shame;
The glow of summer's sunlight.
Will never be the same.
Take the strength within your soul,
From your heart, the tenderness there;
Behold the majesty of the sky,
Its beauty does not compare.
Take the splendor of the stars,
That twinkles in the sky;
It fades in the matchless sparkle,
Of the beauty there in your eyes.

I will wait here patiently,
Until you fly back to me.

Sometimes when i am feeling Lonely
I'ts just too hard to say,
I keep thinking over & over when i heard
I had lost you that day!
The tears they keep coming, and the thoughts
i turn over in my head,
The words i would have liked you to here
but i know i never said.
Oh my Angel i do miss you and i know
how much its true
i have to get use to living my life again
living it without you,
But although i cannot see you, i still know
that you are here
Guiding and watching over us
and keeping us quite near!
