for you
Angel Hugs

Angels are ever all around us
And with love they do surround us.
When my heart is sore in need
The Angels come, my soul to feed.
They come to me from up above
and sing in whispers of Love.
When in my heart I feel a tug
I know that it's an Angel's hug x

Dutch.......Hello my friend, l am so sorry. Why do people do things like that (the photo's). Your poem is beautiful, l hope you have them all in a folder safe??

Treasure your favourite memories of your dad, they are so special. Your lucky in away as my dad was useless. No real happy memories of him. Not that it makes it any easier for you.

Take care.
love jude xxxx

Joyce, those words are lovely and heartfelt, I know your Dad will hear them if your say them out loud to him.

My Dad wasn't demonstrative at all but a few little things he did for me showed how much he cared really and I remember them sometimes and get tearful. As he was dying in the hospice, he told my Mum he loved us all, such a shame he could never say it to us and in turn we weren't encouraged to say it to Mum or Dad.

I know how much love he got and gave to my son tho who was his world in the last 6 years of his life and feel glad I managed to give him that joy and pleasure, just wish he had been around longer to spend more time with my lad. My son and I say 'love you' at the end of every phone call and visit.

I feel much closer to him now I am doing his side of the family tree and hope he is noting all I am finding out and the contacts I am making and renewing with people from the family.
