My Dad Was Born & Brought up in Scotstoun, Glasgow.
His work brought him up to Peterhead in 1972. He was a site foreman for Taylor-woodrow
constructions. I can be as proud to say he helped build the Famous Peterhead power station Chimney,
which I can see just outside my house and I always think of him. He married my mum Ina in June
1974.
Once I Was born we had to move around the country because of my dads job. First we had to move to
Staines in middlesex as my dad helped build one of the terminals at Heathrow Airport, Then after
that we moved to Barmouth on the west coast of Wales. Then we moved to Dunfermline. We moved back to
Hatton when I became school age and my Mum & Dad thought it best for me not to be always moving
Schools. My Dad then got a permanent job with Talor-Woodrow Constructions Down in Heysham beside
Morecambe. My Dad always used to come home at the weekends and go back to Heysham on a Sunday.


My Dad Hector was diagnosed with lung cancer in October 1984, It all started with what he thought
was just a chest infection, until he was sent to Aberdeen royal Infirmary to see a chest consultant.
They did all the tests and then it was confirmed it was lung cancer. My dad underwent chemotherepy &
radiotherepy. After his 6 doses of treatment was over it was confirmed the cancer had spread to both
lungs, Both lungs were covered in tumours and it was terminal. My dad was then told by his
consultant to go home and get his affairs in order as he didnt have long left to live. Within 2
weeks my dad got from worse to worse. He was admitted back into hospital, but nothing could be done
apart from making him comfortable. My dad died at 5pm the following day- 26th of April 1985. I was
only 10.
My dad requested to be cremated and his ashes scattered at Aberdeen Crematorium.

I have 1 half sister & 2 half brothers, they are from my dads first marriage.
my sister lives in Preston. My 2 brothers live in Glasgow.





To My dear Dad Hector, I was very young when you died but I have very special memories of you. You
were the best dad in the world and I miss you so much.

Letting Go

� Shannon Billeter

You're still here in my heart and mind,
still making me laugh cause your stories live on.
I hold you in a thought and I can feel you.
I feel you and this gives me strength and courage.
The tears I have cried for you could flood the earth
and I know you have wiped each one away.
For you, I promise you this,
I will go on with my life and make you proud. I will always hold you in my heart.
I promise you I will be missing you everyday till the end of time,
but this is not my end and I can't hold my head underwater....I need to breathe.
I need to love and miss you, but I also need to live because through me you will live,
you will still laugh and love,
you will still sing and dance,
you will still hug and kiss,
You will forever be in our lives.
I am going to miss your shining face
I think of you and wonder why?
I might cry or smile,
but at the end of the day I am one day closer to you....

Tonight as I lay my head down to rest,
I think of all the ways that I'm blessed.#
******* *******


Not a feeling alive could ever replace,
The love I see in my little one's face

.******* *******
How lucky I was to wake up each day,
And see them laugh and watch them play.

******* *******
Today I missed the little things,
That having Angels tends to bring.

******* *******
Today I missed thier smiles and laughs,
and hearing the fuss when it's time for baths.

******* *******
Today I'm lost without them here,
But, tomorrow I'll see them and hold them near.

******* *******
They're never too far, for they hold my heart.
So nothing on earth could keep us apart.

******* *******
To my Angels with love.

You Left Me

� Cassi

Your the only one I see,
I turn around,
and your right behind me.
I never wanted you to go,
but now you're just the wind that blows.
Why did you leave me,
without saying goodbye,
you are the one who haunts my dreams,
you are the tears that I cry.
You meant so much to me,
it's too hard to believe,
that your no longer here,
I saw you but you just disappeared.
If you came back,
the one thing I would say:
Don't leave today.

Shhh...... there!
Did you hear that?
Just the softest rustle.....
a little breeze
just barely moving the leaves
on that tree over there?

No...... close.....but somehow not.....
The sound, more felt than heard
when you walk barefoot thru soft grass in summer?

No...... This was even more wonderful
than those yet, sad too........
as it will never be heard again......this way.

The sound of a shining new angel taking flight.......

Shine down from heaven
Sweet Angel above,
Please send your family..
All your love.

You are loved and missed..
So very much,
Please sweet Angel stay in touch

You shine like a Diamond..
Through the cloud's above,
And you twinkle like the star's..
Spreading all your love.

You are always loved..
And remembered everyday..
You have left a hole..
In your loved ones life...
Since the day..
You sadly passed away.

So please sweet Angel..
Watch your family with care..
Now you are in heaven..
The BEST Angel there.

The rays of light filtered through
The sentinels of trees this morning.
I sat in the garden and contemplated.
The serenity and beauty
Of my feelings and surroundings
Completely captivated me.
I thought of you.
I discovered you tucked away
In the shadows of the trees.
Then, rediscovered you
In the smiles of the flowers
As the sun penetrated their petals
In the rhythm of the leaves
Falling in the garden
In the freedom of the birds
As they fly searching as you do.
I’m very happy to have found you,
Now you will never leave me
For I will always find you in the beauty of life.

One More Day

� Tanya Heasman

Sitting sadly on my bed
Listening to the wild winds blow,
Crying bitterly behind my hair
Trying not to let it show.

Knowing that you won't be back
You left without good-bye's,
Never to mend my broken heart
Letting loose my cries.

Everyday I waited
And everyday I prayed,
Hoping God would leave you here
At least just one more day.
