My Dad, My Hero, My Best Friend!
Thomas Barker was born on 4th June 1943 x
Married to Rosemary McKelvie and had 1 Daughter, Andrea! Two Grandchildren, Christopher & Stephanie came along and his life was complete x
He was a Steelworker till it closed in 1985, and then a Security Supervisor and was due to Retire after Christmas 2008, but sadly it was not to be!
He got admitted to Hospital on 29th Dec 08 suffering from a "Sore Back" Doctors were treating him for a "Pulled Muscle" for 3 months, he found out the next day it was Lung Cancer and it had spread to his Bones & Liver! Dad fought for his life and thought of only us during this time. He was so looking forward to coming home to us on the 19th Jan, but passed away at 11am that very day, surounded by his heartbroken family.
Dad you fought so hard to stay with us, and it was the hardest thing weve ever had to do was to let you go x
You Were "Simply The Best"

Since my Dad Died
I feel as if my life has ended,
As my heart is so broken
and can never be truly mended.

You can't make me feel better
NO I'm never going to heal,
You haven't been where i am
you don't know how i feel.

I hope you never have to feel
The way that i do,
I wouldn't wish on anyone
What I'm going through.

Stop asking how I'm feeling
Cos you don't want to know,
If i told you the truth
You'd soon get up and go.

I say that I'm ok
Cos its what you want to hear,
That's not how I'm feeling
It isn't anywhere near.


My Dad has Died
I cant get it out my head,
I spend my time thinking
Of thing's I wish i'd done or said.

I wish someone could help me
To take away my pain,
But only my loving Dad can do that
When I'm holding him again.


His memory will live on
And he will always be remembered,
When we are reunited
My heart will then be mended.

Dad xxx

I lost my Dad, my Special Friend 2yrs ago today, and since that day I lost you Dad, Ive changed in every way.
I sat beside your bedside, my heart was crushed and sore, I did my duty to the end till I could do no more.
In tears I watched you sinking, and slowly fade away, And tho my heart was breaking I wanted you to stay.
I know you walk beside me, and when my life is through, I pray to God he takes my hand, and leads me straight to you xxx Love You Dad xxx
