I Can Feel You

Every Day & Every Night
When You Feel The Need
To Hold Me Tight
Just Blow A Kiss Into The Sky
For I'll Be That Close By.
In The Heavens Throughtout The Day
I watch Over You An Hear You Pray
I See You Smile An Shread A Tear
For You know That I'm Still Near
I'm The Angel Of Your Eye
I'M The Angel In The Sky

we still miss you !

20th October was the last time we saw our dad alive , thats was when he gave us a kiss , half pence each an went off to collect the boat . As he was bringing it back past the needles with another chap called David it was hit by a wave and was knocked against a big rock . The boat was smashed in two . The other bloke was found and pulled up into a passing fishing boat my dad was never found. The middle of november a male body was pulled up in a fishing net and my mum an my grandad was ask to look an see if it was my dad. It was only because my dad had soon tattoos that they knew it was him . They held dad's funeral on 2nd of december 1976 . Mum got a yellow truck from us kids as that's whats dad drove . Dad used to drive a motor bike in homefield park , an i do remember the time he fell a had a packet of swan matches in his back pocket . Yes he burnt his bum . 12 yrs after losing you i gave birth to my first child and he was born on 20th october . It was a very happy day but it was also a very sad . 2nd of dec we layed you to rest , it's my birthday and me and my hushand Ian got marride that day . You were there with us i could feel you but most of all i could sense you . You touch so many people heart and you made many people smile but so many people lost a true freind. We lost a menber of our family and i lost my best friend . r.i.p. dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
