My dad was a small plump man that was always up for a crack. he took huge pride in his work and his family even up to a few days before he died while in the hospice he was doing clients books trying to get them finished before he died. his dream was to write a book that would get published he had great stories that he would tell us about but he found it impossible to write them down. He absolutely addored his wife ann he used to run circles around her even though some times it would drive her mad. he always used to go on telling us he was royal blood that he was swapped at birth he would point to his veins saying he had blue blood i think he said it so much he actually believed it. he will be sadly missed by all his family and friends xxxxxxxx he first was diagnosed with cancer of the bowel in 1997 he had an operation to remove the piece of bowel and some intestine he had cimo and was given the all clear then in 2004 he got cancer back first it was thought it was in the bowel just but after further tests it was found in his splean, bowel, intestine and stomach they operated and removed some more intestine and he had his splean removed he underwent alot of chimo and radio theraphy but the cancer was agressive and after a while he wasnt responding to it in july 2005 st vincents hospital called the family in for a meeting where we were told he would have only a few weeks left that he was too low to give any more chemo too. then like a meracle daddy started getting better he started eating himself little by little he was improving. by october that year he was at our cousins wedding dancing around the dancefloor. he was aloud soon after start chemo again. as a result of having his splean removed he was diabetic and was insulan dependant also the tumour from his belly bust through his skin and was like a medium sized football. then in late 2006 he was getting sick again he had a few bad hemorages from the tumour and was a regular visitor to having blood transfusions then after a while he became a day patient of the national hopice foundation in blackrock. where once a week he would go into them where he recieved first class care without them i dont think he would have made it so long.unfortunetly in aprill 2007 he became a resident in the hospice and sadely some time later with his family all around him he passed away. he will be sadely missed my his loving wife ann, his son denis, his 4 daughters ann marie, ruth, eimear and caroline his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, sisters and friends
DAD
Life Lessons
You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.
My wings are spread, my pain is gone-Do grieve for me-but not for long.
For wondrous peace surrounds my flight-I’m gliding towards that ray of light.
So grieve for me but not for long-Remember blessings not the wrong.
My life was full and so complete-Although the end was bittersweet.
You brightened up my everyday…By things you’d do, by things you’d say.
I’ll miss my life with you on Earth, but know you gave my life it’s worth.
I’m gliding towards a perfect place-No pain or sorrow, only grace.
My wings are spread, I’m soaring strong…Do grieve for me, but not for long.
miss you. love theresa xxx

Missing You
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And Im still standing here
And youre miles away
And Im wondering why you left
And theres a storm thats raging
Through my hurting heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And its almost driving me wild
And theres a heart thats breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
Missing you !
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If I could have a lifetime wish
a dream that would come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart
and happy memories too
I never wanted memories...
I only wanted you.
Happy Birthay!! Your favorite song 4 u xxxx
NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU .
it's Been Seven Hours And Fifteen Days
since You Took Your Love Away
i Go Out Every Night And Sleep All Day
since You Took Your Love Away
since You've Been Gone I Can Do Whatever I Want
i Can See Whomever I Choose
i Can Eat My Dinner In A Fancy Restaurant
but Nothing
i Said Nothing Can Take Away These Blues,
'cause Nothing Compares
nothing Compares To You
it's Been So Lonely Without You Here
like A Bird Without A Song
nothing Can Stop These Lonely Tears From Falling
tell Me Baby Where Did I Go Wrong?
i Could Put My Arms Round Every Boy I See
but They'd Only Remind Me Of You
i Went To The Doctor Guess What He Told Me
guess What He Told Me
he Said Girl You Better Try To Have Fun
no Matter What You Do
but He's A Fool
'cause Nothing Compares
nothing Compares To You
all The Flowers That You Planted Mother
in The Backyard
all Died When You Went Away
i Know That Living With You, Baby, Was Sometimes Hard
but I'm Willing To Give It Another Try
nothing Compares
nothing Compares To You .Love Ruth xxxxxx
Miss you Daddy
Feeling lost without him
Feeling empty too
I used to be my daddy's girl
This I know was true
Now that we have split apart
Gone our seperate ways
I pray to god each night
To bring us back together someday
Yet I feel that is impossible
not right now anyway
I still hold ut hope
to be my daddys girl again someday
yet still all I can say is
I'm feeling lost without him
feeling empty too
dear god im praying
please oh please help me through
After i am gone
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the star-shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the Birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die.
