My dad was born on the 05/09/1933
His parents were called Amos Bradford and Lillian Bradford
He had 3 brothers and three sisters
Jim, Clal, Barry, Dot, Pauline and Jenifer and lived on Park Estate, South Kirkby. He met and married my mam on the 24th of December 1953. They had two children Colin and me Linda. Before he passed away in 1998 he had six grandchildren Wayne, Mark, Darrell, Jamie, John and Kayleigh. And in the next 6 years four great grand children Jake, Robbie, Lewis and Olivia.
On that fateful day 26/09/1998 in the Grand Hotel Scarborough my dad collapsed and never woke again. He had took two of my children Jamie and Kayleigh on Holiday for two weeks to Primrose Valley during the school holidays. They had all gone to the Grand Hotel so my mam and dad could do their line dancing. They were all having fun and dad went to sit down for a breather. My son was on a slot machine and my daughter saw her grandad go with a bang they all rushed to his aid someone tried to resusitate him but to no avail. The ambulance finally arrived but they werent in a rush so they knew he was already gone. My mam went with my dad to the hospital. And Jamie and Kayleigh followed in a taxi.
I was at a friends so my husband got the horrific phone call. Only two minutes before he had been talking to my middle son on the phone telling him everything was ok. My middle son Darrell couldnt go to the funeral so he sent a poem to be read by his older brother Wayne. There was not a dry eye in the church. The poem was beautiful.
It has now been 8 years since he passed away and I am still not over it. I love my dad very much and still think of him daily. On his headstone it says best of friends. And he truly was my best friend. In 2006 my mum was brutally murdered and raped in tunisia. And my only solice is that they have been reunited. When they were alive they went everywhere together. They loved to holiday abroad in Tunisia for 2 months at a time.My mum also has a memorial site on gonetoosoon under the name Violet Bradford
My dad was a strong man who loved his family and would do anything for them or anyone else cone to think of it. My dad was my rock and then when he was gone a part of me went with him. He will always be in my heart.
⋱♰⋰ Still Here ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Today I knew you were lonely,
I was watching while you cried;
I wanted to reach out and touch you,
Let you know I was by your side ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ It hurts me to see you grieving,
For I know you can't understand.
If only just for one moment,
You could feel the touch of my hand ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰Beyond the veil that divides us
I'm only a heartbeat away;
Though my life on earth is over
I am walking beside you each day ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ As the sun rises in the morning,
I can still share the beauty with you,
Here in my heavenly home,
I see from a different view ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I hear your sighs in the evening
When a myriad of stars are aglow;
I sense that you are remembering,
The love that we shared long ago ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Tonight when sleep beckons you
In dreams you'll sense me draw near.
When the sun rises in the morning,
Remember my love I'm still here ⋱♰⋰

Life is a book in volumes three--
The past, the present,
And the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight --
---------------God keeps the key.

"I dropped a tear in the ocean~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~Whenever they find it ~~~~~~
~~~~~Is when I'll stop loving you."~~~~~~~~~~
-=- Author Unknown -=-
☆ If every tear we shed for you, became a star up above.☆ You'd stroll in Heavens garden lit with everlasting love ☆ If only we could turn back time, Life once again would be so fine. ☆ Time would pass, you'd still be here, To have, to hold, to love so dear.☆
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

Do you make them laugh up their,
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
Like you did when you were here?
The very mention of your name,
The memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
There’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
We have broken down & cried.
We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without...
Your family miss you Angel
Merry Christmas to you & your family
Love Violet
