Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.
This light is dedicated to my mum and dad. May its light shine as brightly as their love.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.
How can I walk in your shoes
How can I make you proud
You were one of a kind
You stood out from the crowd
Forever loved
Forever missed !
Love you dad xx
Always in our hearts.

He was my world
Myself and my dad used to have a competition on who would have our Christmas tree up first. Dad always won! He used to ring me saying he had beat me, I really miss having that call ♡
I would like to dedicate a light in memory of my Aunty Chris this Christmas – somebody who brought light and laughter into the lives of everyone she knew. She will never be forgotten.
Both loved an missed.
Christmas was his favourite time of year; it's not the same without his practical jokes, dancing Christmas hats or wicked sense of humour. Loved dearly x
You will always be part of me…
