My father died at the tender age of 37 from cancer of the bowel. He lived 4 years with this and they
gave him 6 months, he was called the miracle man by his doctors. He was a great singer and love to
write. My mother found out he was dying at the same time as she was told she was pregnant with their
8th child. Mum never admitted to him that he was dying, but he knew. I can still see him today in my
mind although I was only 12 when he died, he had a great sense of humour and had a lot to give the
world. I feel that I never really got to know him except through mum who loved him until she died
too. He was loved and respected by all, there were hundreds lining the streets at his funeral. Hope
they are all together now. I miss him still and always will.
To See You Once Again
Josette Kerns
I wish with all my heart I could see you once more,
I would use that moment and time to tell you how
Much love my heart holds for you and I shall never
Close that door.
Life each and every day with out you keeps going on
Even if some days I do not wish it I know I am being
Selfish and maybe even wrong, but to see you just once
More I so very much long.
I try to remember all the loving and happy times we
Were granted to enjoy and share, I try to understand
And not cry but to see you once more even only for a
moment to let you know just how very much I do care.
I know that day will eventually come when its my turn
To this world to say goodbye, But until then I shall hold
your love close to my heart, and sometimes I shall break
Down and cry, and I will still ask the question why did you
have to die?
Anniversary
I remember coming home at about 7.20pm from the doctors where I worked, it was a very cold November night and I ran all the way as I got off the bus. That is when I found out my dad had died at home, I was 12 and he was 37, from that day to this I have missed him in my life. I often wonder what different path I might have taken had he lived. So today 18th November I always remember you dad, and always will. Love you always Penni xxx
By The Dancing Flame Of A Candle
This was written by my father James McGinnis during the war for my mother Margaret Lawrence.
By the dancing flame of a candle
I met a girl one night
By the dancing flame of a candle
The moon and stars shone bright
I watched the light burn slowly
The flame danced to and froe
It all seemed very holy
Like a Christmas in the snow
I won`t forget you darling
`Nor God`s guiding light
By the dancing flame of a candle
We fell in love that night
This is only part of the song but shows the love he felt.
