♥˚◦Alex was my dad-
On the 2nd Aug 2007 we went to Dublin to the Mater Private Hospital where you underwent a triple bypass operation in which you were making a good recovery and the nurses and doctors where so pleased with your progress that on the tuesday the 7th August they moved you out of intensive care unit,
♥˚◦On the wednesday morning the 8th August just 5days after your operation I got a phone call to come quick to the hospital that the doctors where at your beside that you had went into a cardic arrest nothing could`ve prepared us for what was to come next, I had to phone home and tell everyone to come to the hospital that things weren`t looking good for you, they worked with you dad for 1hr 20mins as you were putting up such a fight the doctors were fighting with you to do all they could, they took you back into theatre when they got your heart stabilized as they thought it was a clot were they had operated. When you came back from theatre the doctor came and spoke to us and said that they had gave you 12hrs inwhich would tell if there was any damage done, but sadly you never did come out of it they done test after test.
♥˚◦On friday 10th August you went for a ct scan which would tell them what we didnt want to hear and that was that you were brain dead and that we would have to think about turning your machines off that was the hardest decision any of us was going to have to make and it just tore us apart. We just stood holding your hand crying and talking to you, we knew you could hear us.. After they had told us there was nothing more that could be done for you that you wouldn`t get better we then had to sit and think about your machines.
♥˚◦Sammy was coming down to the hospital on the Sunday and we were then going to the make the decision of when to do it, but ur doctorcame to us and said if we could get Sammy to come there and then on the Saturday because he said tomorrow (Sun12th) would be to late we then knew that was as good as telling us you were going to die and for us all to be there with you we just stood crying holding your hands and watching you peacefully sleep.
♥˚◦At 4.50pm on the 11th August you peacefully slipped away from us your fighting was over no more suffering or fighting you were then at rest We then had to make arrangements to get you brought home to Belfast and on the 16th you were cremated which was what you had wanted and I have added the song turn back the hands of time which was played at your funeral.
♥˚◦He turned 63 in Febuary and retired from work as a greenkeeper in Victoria Park at the age of 49yrs due to ill health.
Alex was married to my mum Rose and they would`ve been 45yrs married on the 15th September 2007.
♥˚◦He was from East Belfast and had 2 sisters,5 brothers,4 children,6 Grandchildren and 1 Greatgrand Daughter and 2 great grandsons, Jessica-lee his Great grand daughter was born in may 2007 so he only had a short time with her but the time he spent with her was treasured as with all his grandchildren he loved them all dearly.He loved spending quailty time with his family...
On The 15th April 2009 my dad got a new great grandson Jay Michael Alex Gamble he will be told of his granda when he is older of what a great man he was.
On the 28th Dec 2010 my dad got another wee great grandson Rhys Gamble he also will be told of what a great man is granda was,
♥˚◦He was taken from us all too soon and very unexpected
♥˚◦You are talked about daily as everyone misses you so badly.
♥˚◦Nyt Nyt lots of love from all your family xx♥˚◦
♥˚◦The nurses that looked after you in intensive care unit couldn`t believe it when they saw you back in icu the day after you left it, they stood rubbing your head and crying they like us knew you were doing well and it was a shock to them when it happened they gave you the best of care that could ever be given and there is know words that could ever express our thanks to them for the way you were looked after the staff throughout the whole of the hospital were excellent to both u and to us from the day we booked in til the day you left. We had stayed at Jury`s Hotel Crooke Park and the staff there were as equally as good to us during our stay they too were shocked when they found out you had passed away as they would ask everynite how you were doing we have them all to thank.

I still recall a loving dad
And cherish every day we had
I picture yet his caring face
His comforting and warm embrace.
A father’s jobs are never done.
And Heaven must have needed one.
For angels came and took his hand
And led him to God’s promised land.
A daddy’s like a teddy bear.
He teaches children how to share.
He reads them stories, swings small tykes,
And plays with dolls and fixes bikes.
Although there’s sadness, this I know
He’s waiting there, his face aglow
I close my eyes and I can see --
His arms still open wide for me.
☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆
A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.
An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.
A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.
Many memories in my mind,
Some I laugh, Some I cry.
The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.
Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
Only memories, Of what once was you.
Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.
No more smile on your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss,
The last 'goodbye' leaves me with one last wish...
To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.
☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆
A WONDERFUL GRANDA
We had a wonderful granda
One who never really grew old;
His smile was made of sunshine,
And his heart was solid gold;
His eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in his cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful granda,
And that' s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
He's still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let's make sure
He will like what he sees
love from lee,kirsty,ashleigh & katelyn
☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆
FOR A SPECIAL GREAT GRANDA
Everyday and Everynight
When I feel the need to hold you tight
I blow a kiss into the sky
And watch it go way up high
In heaven through out the day
U watch over me and hear me pray
U see me smile and shed a tear
For all I wish is u were here
Your the angel of my eye
your my angel in the sky
Lots Of Love From Jessica-lee, jay & Rhys

Happiness always looks small
While you hold it in your hand
But let it go
And you learn at once
How big and precious it was

FOR MONDAY
Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
♥
FOR TUESDAY
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
♥
FOR WEDNESDAY
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
♥
FOR THURSDAY
We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.
♥
FOR FRIDAY
Love Lives On
Those we love
Are never really lost to us –
We feel them
In so many special ways-
Through friends
They always cared about
And dreams they left behind,
In beauty that they added to our days...
In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.
♥
FOR SATURDAY
If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.
Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
♥
FOR SUNDAY
Still With Us
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

You think I've gone far away and life has lost its will,
But look around, I am right here, living with you still,
I watch your tears, I feel your pain, I see the things you do,
I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul it lives with you.
It gives me such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do,
And when you smile over bygone days, I smile right there with you,
For we are still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being,
Walking forward into life, though you are only seen,
And in the stillness of the night, when the pain really starts,
Stretch out a little with your mind, and draw me to your heart,
I am always close by your side, you have nothing at all to fear
And my love will always surround you until you join me here.....
♥
♥ ☆
Way over yonder
That's where I'm bound
I know when I get there
The first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden
Shining right down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me
Worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly
In true peace of mind
Carole King

Death is at once
The end of the body’s
Old journey
And the beginning of the soul’s
New journey.

♥ڿڰۣಌ
To Myself
Even when I forget you
I go on looking for you
I believe I would know you
I keep remembering you
sometimes long ago but then
other times I am sure you
were here a moment before
and the air is still alive
around where you were and I
think then I can recognize
you who are always the same
who pretend to be time but
you are not time and who speak
in the words but you are not
what they say you who are not
lost when I do not find you
~ W.S Merwin

Garden of Eden
Over some exotic rainbow
Through forest wild and free
Live my darling Angel
Beside some coconut tree.
The beaches are sands of gold
With palm trees lined around
There my darling Angel
Dwells safe and sound.
The sun always shines
It survives just by love
In this garden of Eden
My true love dwells above.

Saturday
*ღ* Comfort *ღ*
The Holy Spirit comforts,
As He whispers in your ear;
A loving word of perfect peace,
Designed for you to hear.
A song of tender mercy,
He brings to soothe your sorrows;
Sweet memories of yesterday,
And hope for your tomorrows.
His tender arms enfold you,
He holds you as you pray;
Then reaches out His loving hand,
And wipes your tears away.
The Spirit of the Living God,
A light in the midst of the dark;
A comforting flame to guard you,
As he touches and heals your heart.

TWO HEARTS
Two hearts we were as one on earth,
Two hearts that were entwined,
My love for him was very strong,
He lives inside my mind.
His twinkling eyes got weary,
His beating heart took rest.
His lovely life just slipped away,
That life so full of zest!
I know he's gone to Heaven,
From earth he slipped away,
But faith in you my dearest Lord
Keeps me strong every day.
Two hearts once beat together,
Now one beats all alone.
I know one day we'll meet Dear Lord,
The day you call me home.

Now i know even though you're not here
You will never be too far away
Anywhere, you'll be there
Like a whisper inside me each and every day
If i win, if i lose, you will always play a small part
Like a flame, you'll remain in
Your own little corner of my heart
I thought every hug you gave me time would just erase
I waited for the day they'd disappear without a trace
Finally i realized that even though you're gone
There'll always be an ember of you burning on and on
Now i know even though you're not here
You will never be too far away
Anywhere, you'll be there
Like a whisper inside me each and every day
If i win, if i lose, you will always play a small part
Like a flame, you'll remain in
Your own little corner of my heart
❤
With what a deep devotedness of woe
I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
And memory, like a drop that, night and day,
Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
~Thomas Moore
