10 long years without you
life has never been the same
i really need to dance with you
and hug you once again
to hear your loving voice
to laugh and see your smile
How i wish we could come visit and sit with you awhile .

Time passes but our memories will not fade,
You helped us make so many in your loving special way.
Times gone past and childhood days,
Growing up in the good old way.

Saturday wrestling, Sunday parks ,
Holiday fun, a tent in the dark.
Bedtime songs, and stories galore
Long country walks, learning to draw.
Castles and history made learning fun,
You knew about everything under the sun

Fishing and crabbing, climbing rocks,
Making toast on an old tin box.
Swimming in rivers making shapes in the clouds.
You really did everything to make us proud.
Dancing and singing, old folklore
Manners respect and so much more,
Kind and loving, honest and true
You were a true gentleman to one and all.

For all these memories we are grateful its true
For having time to make so many with you
But we miss you dad so very much
Your smile your laughter your gentle touch
These stay in our hearts wherever you are
You will always be our hero our superstar

Love and miss you more each day Daddio your Apache xxx

Eight years Dad we miss you so very much,
Time means nothing without your touch.
Each day goes by ,with you on our mind
You were always so gentle and kind .
We long for the days spent in ringmer park
Walks over Dartmoor,till it grew in our hearts.
Swims in the rivers, and barcombe mills
Wrestling on Saturdays, and climbing hills.
The good times our memories we have to treasure
Missing you always forgetting you never.
Now with our brother Fly far and wide
but we know you are both right by our sides xx Your Apache xx
Cazy February 23rd, 2022
Too many days without you,
And each one seems so hard.
But always on your birthday,
I want to buy that card.
You were the best dad ever,
To us you meant so much.
A laugh a smile a kiss,
Your perfect gentle touch.
How i wish to give you a birthday hug,
And sing the words out loud ,

Love you so much Daddio and miss you more your Apache xxx

Happy fathers day Daddio love and miss you more each day.A little song we used to sing always makes me think of you along with Little one x
This little penny is to wish on
And make your wishes come true
This little penny is to dream on
Dream of all you can do
This little penny is a dancing penny
See how it glitters and it glows
Bright as a whistle
Light as a thistle
Quick, quick as a wink
Up on it's twinkling toes
This little penny is to laugh on
To see that tears never fall
This this little penny
Is the last little penny
Most important of all
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire love you more your Apache xx

Another heavenly birthday,
I miss you in every way,
I just want to come and hug you, on this very special day.
For when you were born they broke the mould.
Then gave you to us to hug and hold.
There is only one of you we got the very best
And us five certainly put you to the test.
but you were always there to guide us
and lead us on our way,
And life seems so much harder without you day to day.
But everything you taught us is with us everyday
And we know that you still guide us in each and every way
Thankyou for staying by our side and giving us love to use as our guide
Happy Birthday Daddio love you millions your Apache xxx

Nothing’s really changed dad
We still miss you so much,
Your happy laughing smile,
And your loving tender touch.
I dream of days together,
Wish we could have some more
Nothing would be nicer than to see you come through the door.
We know this cannot happen
And we know your by our side
Always watching, always caring, always our gentle guide.

Dearest darling Daddio you know we miss you so,
Three years today you went away leaving a big hole.
We would really love to hug you, and touch your hand again,
To walk along beside you and hear you say our name.
But, though we cannot see you we know that you are there,
We know we cannot touch but we know you’re everywhere.
Time will never fade the memory of the great times that we had,
Because there are so many, You’re a very special Dad
You filled our lives with memories right from the very start,
Nothing can replace the love that we have in our hearts.
It’s so hard to live without you, but here we must remain
Knowing you’ll be waiting when we come to meet again
Love you you millions xxx

The cards are in the shops dad, It all seems so much fuss I don’t even want to see them Now your not here with us. For every day I waken and you are on my mind I just want to hear your voice so gentle and so kind I want to hug and hold you to feel you by my side To carry out all our plans and travel countrywide Its not the same without you for you knew so very much And showed us in your own way, you had a magic touch. Took us many places, taught us all you knew But I hadn’t finished, travelling with you. So tomorrow I am going to a very special place, I’m hoping you’ll come with me as across Dartmoor we pace. The nearest place to heaven, you always used to say, So from Haytor I will wish you a special father’s day. HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDIO Love and miss you ,till we meet again.Apache

Time really doesn’t matter for every single day,
We miss you more than the day before and it never goes away.
Life is just not the same without you,
But we have to struggle on.
No smile, no hug, no kiss, to help to keep us strong.
Our memories must guide us, we need to keep you proud
But If we slip a tear or two I’m sure that is allowed.
You were such a perfect gentleman and raised us all so well,
Of you dad we are very proud I’m sure that you can tell
Keep watching as you visit us, fly high above the clouds
Keep mum close in your heart of her we are also proud.
Its hard to cope without you but she is getting through,
We know that you adore her, your love always shone through
She is comforted by knowing you are always with her too.
With your love and memories and things that you still do
You show you are around us in everything we do.
We know you’ll never leave us and will wait to be our guide
Until the time we meet once more and all stand side by side.
We love and miss you Daddio and when the time should come,
We know you’ll be there smiling open armed to bring us home.
Cazy February 23rd, 2016

Not made up by me Dad but so true.
Everyday without you
since you had to go
Is like summer without sunshine
and christmas without snow.

I wish that i could talk to you,
There is so much i would say.
Life has changed so very much,
Since you went away.

I miss the bond between us,
and miss your kind support
Youre in my mind and in my heart
In every christmas thought.

Ill always feel you close to me
and though your far from sight
ill search for you among the stars that shine on Christmas night .
And every single night missing you so much love you millions Axxxx
Cazy April 7th, 2015
No real goodbye one year ago
But what is time?
for today was the day
my last real kiss, my last real smile
the last time i would feel YOUR arms around me.
The last time i heard your voice saying I Love you
How i miss you so very much
Your special way and loving touch
You are forever on my mind,
come visit me when you have the time.
My heart still aches but my love goes on
Forever and always
Till we meet again Love you so much Daddio ,your Apache
Cazy February 23rd, 2015
Remembering so many things on this your special day
singing, drawing having fun ,country walks in the sun
saturdays was wrestling ,sundays to the park
no lay ins for us ,up with the lark.
Holidays in Devon,camping in the rain.
Tent up tent down such a laugh but never a pain.
Toast on the tin lid ,always tasted best.
staring at the stars ,until its time for rest.
Dartmoor walks and swimming in the rivers
sometimes they were really cold but you would cuddle us when we shiver
Fishing with our little rods or crabbing on the beach
All the towns and castles history ,you would try to teach.

I was often in your bad books but i really didnt care
because i knew when it was time for bed you always would be there.
Special songs you sang to us and stories you would tell
always entertained us picked us up when we fell.

When i was a teenager we drove each other mad,
I would always flout your rules and you were Mr Bad.
at times you wanted to kill me ,i know you told me so haha
and I just wanted to leave grow up, get out and go
And then as i grew older, I appreciated your rules
The horrid Mr bad became my mister cool
came to understand your funny little ways
We had so many happy laughing smiley days.
You were the wisest cleverest man a gentlemen through and through
and nothing will ever be the same now we are without you
So as you fly high across moors and sea please ALWAYS pop back to visit me.
Love and miss you so much Dad xx your Apache xx
Cazy December 25th, 2014
I know he will be here today but not in the same special way.
Dad i know you haven’t left us , you’ll be here with us today.
Just not the same as the old special way.
I want to bring you your present ,hug you tight
Snuggle in your chair and look at the lights.
Hear you knock on my door Christmas visit once more.
Hear your laughter see your smile hold your hand for just a while.
The cards are up presents abound ,but its not the same without you around.
Mistletoe hung for kissing ,but its just not right because you are missing.
Wish you weren’t so far away,We could croon our carols once more today.
Stay safe with the Angels up above and today Dad look after Mum with all your love.
She misses you so as we all do, so give her a hug to help her through.
Float by on your cloud and give us a smile , stop and linger for a little while ,
We will blow you a kiss full full of love and good cheer , For the most amazing wonderful Daddy dear.
God in heaven up above ,please give my daddio all my lovexxxxx

Love you Daddio xx

They say there is a reason,they say that time will heal,but neither time nor reason,will change the way we feel.For we all have a heartache,that lies behind our smile,no one knows how many times,we've broken down and cried,we want to tell you something of which there is no doubt,Dad your so wonderful to think of, but so very hard to be without love and miss you so very very much your apache xxxxx
