Dad is how you were known to me, Robert, Carol, David, Gary, Hazel, Julie and William. You were also, Fiance, Son, Grandad, Uncle, Brother, Father-in-law, friend, boss, and so much more. The day you left us your pain ended but ours began. You were the best dad that anyone could wish for, you taught me right from wrong and made me the person that I am today. I only wish you were here to see it. I know that you are watching over me but I wish I could see you just once more. There are so many things that I never said. So many things I never got to learn from you. So much about you I will never know.
I promise I will make you proud of me. I know you are watching, so lets hope that I can.
You know that I love you with all my heart and no man will ever compare to the one called Ian Lindsay Ward, the one I called Daddy.

Fathers Day
Another Fathers Day is here and another day to remember my Father is not here. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you, but today you are all I can think of.
I will love and miss you always.

Where does the time go?
Another 19th January another day to remember your not here. You left us 7 years ago today and I dont know where the time goes. You gave us another meaning for this day 2 years ago. Our lovely baby Ian was born and today he is 2. He gets more and more like you and William every day.
I love and miss you always

Come back and fix us!
Christmas is here again so many now since you were taken from us. They never get any easier.
You'll be glad your not here. The family you loved so dear couldnt be further apart. No-one has rang or even spoken to Mam since you died. Apart from Nana of course but she is now with you and Gary. Not so much as a Christmas card from some. You would be so hurt, I know Mam is, the woman you loved for 26 years not even given thought at Christmas. The daughter that sat by your bed day and night in hospital - hated by all who she loved so much all because she carried out your wishes, told the truth and paid her own respects to the brother she loved. Its a shame Mam and I couldnt be as perfect as the rest of the family you loved. But I know we did for you and that is what counts now.
It is so hard sitting around that table with you not there at the head of it. Laughing and joking how I wish I had apreciated it more when you were with us - its soo true you dont know what you've got till its gone!
You all have a lovely day up there tomorrow. I know that you will be with us in spirit. I will never stop missing you and loving you with all my heart. You were my one and only Daddy and everyone forgets I hurt without u too. x x x x x x x x x
Another one and your not here
God saw u getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around u & whispered come with me. With tearful eyes, we watched and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make u stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest..God broke our hearts to prove to us, he, only takes the BEST. Put this on ur status if there is someone in heaven you will miss this christmas. ♥♥
This time 6 years ago You were still with us. 2 hours from now our lives were turned upside down never to be the same again. Your family fell apart you were the glue that held the parts of it together and now that youve gone to that better place no one can take your place here.
Today is also Baby Ian's 1st Birthday. He is more and more like William every time I see him. He is going to follow all you Wardy men - you all look the same. Last time I saw Dave I had to look twice as he is the complete double of you now. His hands and everything.
William is doing so well now too - you would be so proud. His first machine is out working at Ulverston, shame about the pick up though. I am just busy sorting out his insurance on that.
I am going to try and get up and see you later. Having some work done to the flat so depends on what time they finish with that.
Love and Miss You always.

Merry Christmas
Another Christmas without you. It never gets any easier. Im leaving to go to go home now. Mam is making the dinner, Grandad and Uncle Andy are coming through. Its never the same without you there at the head of the table or doing the washing up! I hope that you and Gary are enjoying the day up there. Hopefully Grandma has made a dinner for you all. Give my love to everyone up there and i'll give yours to everyone down here.
Love you Dad

Happy Birthday
Hi Dad
Today would have been your 71st Birthday and it never gets easier you not being here for it. I'll be up later with your flowers and a guiness! I know you probably hate the flowers but that is my way of showing you how much I care and that I still remember.
Love you and miss you loads.

Facing life without you is very hard to bear,
for losing you the way we did will always seem unfair.
You left behind broken heart's but happy memorie's too,
but I never wanted memorie's I only wanted you.
Your place of rest I visit,
your flower's we place with care,
but no-one know's the heartache as I turn and leave you there.
My Angel
Stay with me My Angel
I need you till the end
Stay with me My Angel
You are my best friend
Stay with me My Angel
You’re the one that helps me live
Stay with me My Angel
You’ve shown me how to give
Stay with me My Angel
To take the pain away
Stay with me My Angel
What more can I say
Don’t go away My Angel
I need you oh so much
Don’t go away My Angel
I need your gentle touch
Don’t go away My Angel
You take the pain away
Don’t go away My Angel
I won’t last another day
Don’t go away My Angel
I don’t want another tear
Don’t go away My Angel
With you, there is no fear
