My Nick-Nick, I asked my mum 1 day "why do I call my grandad Nick-Nick??" she told it was because on a coach trip to cornwall with my mum and grandad when i was 2 my grandad was trying to keep me amused by mimicking a comedian of the time who used to put his fingers on top of his head and say " nick,nick nick" or similar and so he was given the name Nick-Nick by me from that day until he sadly passed when i was just 15.
We had a strong and loving relationship, I was the only grandchild and so he would spoil me rotten, my mum would moan at him and he would say "I'm not taking it with me and I want to see titch (his pet-name for me) want for nothing"
You were a brave WW2 veteran fighting for your country, signing up at 21, I always was and always will be proud of you for that, I used to love sitting and listening to your war stories and tales of when you were a boy, we used to laugh together. Playing cards on a saturday, when mum was at work,
I love you my Nick-Nick, more than you could ever know and I miss you dearly xxxxx
happy fathers day xxx
happy fathers day Nick - Nick love and miss you always, my main thought of you is the words of a song "I'm everything I am because you loved me" and its true.
You were my grandad, my best friend and my confident I could tell you or ask you anything and you were always there to tell me the truth you will never know how much i loved you then and still do now.
big hugs and kisses to you from me and your great grandchildren Abbie and Dillon xxxxxx
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
