then when my so called mother left my dad.my childhood ended.at the age of 10.dad thank you for the

so im sending you some love , a bottle of newcastle broon ale, and a woodbine lol,
as long as i live i will not stop loving you.
you were father to jimmy, late gordon, myself,henry harold and norbert and a good man to take on
myras kids yes i call her myra the anagram of mary as she was more evil than hindley herself . you
your late brother and sisters all knew ellen, marie, olga and dennis were not yours, you always
said she always let you in her bed, when she fell pregnant. and when her and her mens children were
born she said they were premature.. which has been confirmed by your friends and people who knew it
, she was the town bike.. lol . and thats why they wanted you away from her as she never was
faithful.and her name was dirt in this little village i was your only daughter, and only child wif
myra. and your only grandchildren.

dad something i never got to say before you went to see our maker. is something i will say now
I LOVE YOU

i would like to thank you all gts who have came to my dads page and paid respect, or lit a candle
thank you very much , god bless you...

i would also like to dedicate . these lyrics to you dad. by mike rutherford. from genesis. i think
this song says it all...and it says what we say. when we dont mean it. but regret when its to late.

THE LIVING YEARS. BY MIKE AND THE MECHANICS
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that Im a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that Im a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
Im afraid thats all weve got

You say you just dont see it
He says its perfect sense
You just cant get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
Its the bitterness that lasts

So dont yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you dont give up, and dont give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

I wasnt there that morning
When my father passed away
I didnt get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Im sure I heard his echo
In my babys new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

The Angels sang Amazing Grace,
the LORD came down and touched your face,
He held your hand and whispered low,
come with ME it's time to go

The Gates of Heaven opened wide,
the Angels lined up side by side,
a special guest was on his way,
the day they came and took you away.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ..

It's a wonderful feeling
Made all the more specials because
I know this is just the beginning
Of the understanding and
Trust we will share, for with the time.
Sometimes I feel like a flower, opening up beneath
The golden warmth of your love,
Responding to the sunshine
That the very sight of you brings
I want to know you completely…
I want to give all of myself to you.
Holding nothing back
Except for the mystery that
Allows us to be separate people~
Joined by one beautiful love.
Merry Christmas with all my love.

LOVE SURINA AND ANGEL MANINDER XX

Message From Santa Claus..

If it were in my powers,
I would bring peace and love,
To this world of ours,
But I don't have magic enough,
I can cross the sky,
and pass by the stars,
But I can't seem to stop,
Any of hatred's wars,
I see children on the street,
With no hope left,
in the eyes.
So many homeless people
with no where to sleep.
And my heart cries.
I can't give the things they need,
Oh But God I would try.
I'm only a fantasy,
that once took wings to fly,
Some are deceived,
by the gifts that money can buy,
But those who truly believe,
see the gift with the heart,
not with the eye,
I sometime stop and go to my knees,
and pause,
and I too always pray,
That we will find a end to wars,
and live in peace one day.
For all those who believe in me,
I will continue my cause,
Across the stars,
over the wars,
On Christmas Eve,
For the hearts that still believe,
In Santa Claus,

With love Surina x

A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
