    Passed away this afternoon - pretty crappy end to a pretty crappy year.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there, I do not sleep.

    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glint on snow.
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
    I am the gentle autumn rain.

    When you wake in the morning hush,
    I am the swift, uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circling flight.
    I am the soft starlight at night.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep.
    I am not there, I do not sleep.
    (Do not stand at my grave and cry.
    I am not there, I did not die!)

    God bless, Dad, and enjoy catching up with Mum!

    Very sorry to read that, tobytykespuppy. Things like this certainly put our football predicament in perspective. May you cherish the memories and may he rest in peace.

    Very sad ...just a little thing to tell you...I was devastated when my dad died...but no matter how difficult it seems now..better times are ahead when you'll be able to talk about him and recount the funny incidents...and laugh the same as you did when he was still here....chin up.

    It is times like this that shape how you are as a person and, unfortunately, from the moment you are born you have these University of Life moments. My Mum passed away 5 years ago and I know my Dad did not want to carry on without her. I am obviously sad to see my Dad go but there is a sense of relief that maybe there is somewhere they are back together - I hope this doesn't sound too callous!

    An attempt to inject some humour - my Dad has the same name as our current England manager so I blame Sepp Blatter et al for the Group of Death - tw@ts!

    7 years tomorrow since my dad died. I still miss him. I find this time of year to be such a reflective time now.

    Condolences for your loss mate.
