God saw that he was getting tired
And the cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around him
And whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Busy hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
It's
lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same
Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday."

I took these just 8 weeks before my dad passed away, I am grateful to have these but dearly wish we had had our family portrait done. We kept talking about it. My wonderful friend and business partner Prue was going to take the portraits but something kept coming up.... it was too hard to get us all together, Dad was having an off day.... always something!!
If I was ever to offer anyone advise it would be, Get your family portraits done as often as possible... I dont care how you have them done or who does them..... grab a neighbour with a mobile phone... it doesn't matter, just get them done xx
Below is the last photograph taken of my dad and me at a family wedding, it is a great memory for me and one I hold dear.
RIP beautiful man
I love you always.
