John Dodds...
What can i say... he was born on the 23rd November 1933 and died on the 18th march 2008.
He was a plasterer to trade,and lived in Edinburgh all his life till he moved to wemyss bay with his wonderfull wife Ellen.
He had two children who he thought the world of,Jackie & Alan.
A son-in-law Danny and daughter-in-law Vickie
Also he was blessed with 4 granddaughters who worshiped the ground he walked on.
John had been ill for some time before he died.And fought through lots of pain to remain with his beloved family untill his weak body could take no more.
John you were a legend....
I will never meet anyone who was so complete and perfect as my father in law and i feel truly blessed to be able to say, I shared your life even if it was for a short time.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
xmas / new year 2011
Hi John,
wishing you a fantastic new year and we miss you so much at this time of year and always.
KEEP MY MEMORY
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.
I opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I crave to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind
Smile for me
I want to say don't miss me
Don't keep crying tears
I can see you every day
As you face up to your fears
You can talk to me still
Even though I'm not here
I am only sleeping now
And every day I'm near
When you see a rainbow
That's where i now dwell
And when the sun shines down
Don't let your eyes swell
Laugh and i will laugh with you
Blow kisses up to the sky
For i will always be with you
I am asleep i did not die
As i wandered lonley as a cloud
On a bright summers day
A rainbow formed before me
As i strolled gently on my way
The steps had many colours
The stairway was made for me
As i walked to pastures new
I knew that my family could see
They watched me walk to heaven
And they waved me as i walked
They smiled, for this was my garden
And somewhere we could sit and talk
They have comfort knowing im here
And that i am resting in this place
I love them, they love me
And i can see it in their face.
trying to move on
Hi John,
well it has been 8 months now ,god already and realy we are all moving on but just not the same way.
Ellen is trying but failing,wish she would just show she misses you to us as we find it so hard not to let her see how much we miss you.
I'm trying to do what you would of wished us to do.
and some of what i want to do to get over you.
Alan is getting there slowly he is just as bad as ellen always being the stiff upper lip.
The two of them are more english than they think.
anyway john take care give aiden and shannon big hugs for me and tell them i love them and miss them.
there is another star in the sky
my condolences to all its hard to lose a loved one .but as long as we have friends who will be there to wipe away the tears and a ear to lisen to .the pain can be shared when one day we will be reunited. may the heaves be warm knowing you are with loved ones again. john rest in piece
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shaddow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near, just round the corner.
And all is well.
Dad
As a son I lost a father,
As a father, a son -
If the choice was mine I'd rather
Had not lost either one.
I do not know where I come from
Or where I am to go.
True, this fate is less than some
And more than some can know.
My father, my son - you both I miss
But we shall meet someday
In the kingdom where angels kiss
To chase the clouds away.
Dad
I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make
You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look
Cause by what you bestowed
In our long time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever
Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone
poem for you
We knew little that morning, that the Angels were calling your name,
In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,the day you were called home.
You left us peaceful memories,your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you're always at our side,
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same
But as we are called one by one, the chain will link again.
A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.
To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last. X
100 Years From Now
One hundred
years from
now, it
will not
matter
what kind of car I
drove, what kind of
house I lived in, how
much money I had in
the bank, nor what my
clothes looked like.
But the world may
be a little better,
because I was
important in
the life of a child.
The greatest gift
I ever had
Came from God,
I call him Dad!
