RichardSIMPSONI didn't know the torment that you were going through
I only kept on seeing what you really wanted me to.
I saw the outward smile but not the inner pain
I never really dreamt that you would never smile again.
Forgive me if I failed to see what I could do to aid
Or if I failed to comprehend how much you were afraid.
I pray your mental anguish will now forever cease
And that your deep anxieties will be replaced by peace.
I know your pain invaded every single thought you had
It made you cry internally and deeply deeply sad.
But in turn remember the good times, not the bad
I remember when you smiled at me and not when you were sad.
So when I think about your life I don't dwell upon its close
I'll remember all the good times and forget about life's blows.
I'll remember all the happiness, the joy and not the tears
The assurance and the confidence and not irrational fears.
My life has been all the better because you have been there
So now I leave your memory in God's all loving care.
Missing you and think of you every day
All my love dad xx
You had so much life left to live
So many sunrises to wake up to
So many memories to make
So much more love to receive
It will forever break our hearts
That you didn't get the time
Love and miss you your brother
Ryan, sister in law Eleanor and niece Flora Gail.
I replay the day you died
Every awful, painful, horrifying second.
I replay our last conversation
Every word, tone and breath.
I replay the signs I missed
Everyone major and minor
I replay your life our memories
Every moment I can remember.
We'll never forget the wonderful nephew and cousin you are
Auntie Karen, uncle Jeff, Robert, Kelly, Kayleigh, Adam and families. Xxx
Our biggest hope is that you are at peace
That wherever you are the pain is long gone
That your body feels light and your spirit free
We hope you are resting in a place where the weight you carried here no longer touches you
We hope you can feel how deeply loved you are and how much you are missed
And we hope you know that we would have moved mountains if it meant you could have stayed here with us.
Fond memories of a very special nephew and cousin
Love from uncle John, auntie Annette, auntie Linda, uncle John, uncle Russell, Deb and all the families.
