John Francis Johnston, born in Derry, Ireland. Passed away peacefully on the 22nd of November 2008. After battling cancer for 8 years he died from a Brain Hemorrhage, at the Hayward House Hospice (City Hospital).

I'm not very good with words, but I will give it ago.

When my dad passed away I was angry, sad, confused and didn't understand why such a good man was taken away from me and my mum Carol.

My dad was and will always be my hero, as I was growing up I didn't have much luck in certain area's of my life, but my mum and dad were always there to support me and help me through all the hard times, and my dad showed me that not everyone's the same, that there are some people out there worth trusting, and he was right.

I never knew how much loosing my dad would hurt, but I can honestly say I would rather loose a limb, what I wouldn't give to see his face smiling at me and to hear his lovely Irish voice again.

Thank you Dad and thank you to my mum.

RIP Dad, love you always - Your loving daughter Kerrie


Life Lessons

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid

being to timelessness as it's to time ღ♥ღ

being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end:
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land

love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear:
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

I Have Found A Little Comfort.......
I Light A Candle And I Gaze At The Dark Sky.
I Look At Each Star That Goes Drifting Right By,
There Is One Star That Shines A Little Brighter Than The Rest...

-:|:-

So I Know My Angel,That You're Trying Your Best
To Let Us All Know That You Are in Heaven,
Showing Off Your Golden Glow
While Here On Earth,The Candle Gives Off A Flickering Light.
The Candle Will Burn Away But The Star Will Shine All Night.

-:|:-

I Have Found A Little Comfort From Something I See,
Because I Know Your Trying So Hard,To Show Me
That You Are Watching From Heaven Above,
While The Candle Burns On Earth Lit With So Much Love....

Yesterday afternoon

It's not easy to carry on
When someone we love
Has passed and gone
It's not easy to face
each new day
Knowing we'll not see
Our loved ones again
Only time can ease the pain
And bring strength and comfort
with each new day
Only memories can bring peace of mind
As they keep alive moments
From times gone by
Forever to be treasured
Are the treasures of the past
For they will always be
Kept alive in the heart
And when the treasures go
We'll fondly remember
The joy that they brought
In our memories forever .

εїз Remember Me εїз

εїз To the living - I am gone
εїз To the sorrowful - I will never return
εїз To the angry - I was cheated
εїз But to the happy - I am at peace
εїз And to the faithful - I have never left
εїз I cannot speak - but I can listen
εїз I cannot be seen - but I can be heard
εїз So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea
εїз As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity
εїз REMEMBER ME! εїз

εїз Remember me in your heart
εїз Your thoughts, and your memories
εїз Of the times we loved
εїз The times we cried
εїз The times we fought
εїз The times we laughed
εїз For if you always think of me
εїз I WILL NEVER HAVE GONE! εїз

~♥~ EVERY NOW AND THEN - I FALL APART..... ~♥~

Every now and then
I get a little bit terrified....
Like a child crying
In the night
I am overcome with fright
~♥~
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely....
Playing the role of someone
Always in control
Yet when I get home
And turn the key....
There is no one there
Waiting for me
~♥~
Every now and then
I get a little bit miffed....
Feel like a waitress
At the banquet of life...
Regulated to second best
While the best goes to another!
~♥~
Every now and then
I get a little bit crazy
We are sooo close
Yet soo far apart
I dream we are together...
And die a little each time
I wake up alone
~♥~
Yes My Darling!
Every now and then
I fall apart....
Until you pick me up
And ever sooo patiently
Piece by piece
Put me back
Together again
~♥~
Every now and then
I fall apart
Then I see the look
In your eyes
And we 'Dance'
Yes.... We 'Dance'
And I glimpse Eternity!

~♥~ From My Heart To Your Soul…. ~♥~

Death is at once
The end of the body’s
Old journey
And the beginning of the soul’s
New journey.

~ Sri Chinmoy

♥ڿڰۣಌ

To Myself

Even when I forget you
I go on looking for you
I believe I would know you
I keep remembering you
sometimes long ago but then
other times I am sure you
were here a moment before
and the air is still alive
around where you were and I
think then I can recognize
you who are always the same
who pretend to be time but
you are not time and who speak
in the words but you are not
what they say you who are not
lost when I do not find you

We'll Never Say Goodbye

I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears,
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears.

You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall,
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I'm sure I hear you call.

A part of you remains with me
That none can take away;
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of each day.

I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh,
But this I know--we'll meet again
And never say good-bye.

The lighthouse breaks the haze,
In an eerie nightly mist,
Sat alone upon the harbor,
A ghostly child awaits his ship,



Dressed in shorts and cap,
A teddybear in his embrace,
Gazing blankly over oceans,
Sat upon an old suitcase,



His cries haunt the darkness,
Echoing beyond the afterlife,
He awaits the ship of souls,
To carry him to heavens light,



And there upon horizon’s,
A ghostly vessel rides the sky,
Sounding horns played by angels,
Sent to take the souls on high,



Shining bright amidst the black,
Slowly descending into fall,
Drops anchor by the harbor,
“All aboard” the Captain calls,



The touching hands of angels,
Gently lift him in there grip,
He says farewell to the world,
Then sails away into the mist.
