My Favourite Colour is Purple, My Tears !!!
This is my dad ` Ivan' he was 31 when this photo was taken. He was a gunner in the Royal Artillery and always looked special in his uniform. He was a kind and caring father if a little strict. He loved a pint of beer and sometimes smoked a pipe. He had a deep, rich voice and at times sported a moustache and beard, which used to tickle when he kissed me. Dad had a great sense of humour and loved making people laugh. When he came out of the Army he drove a lorry and trailer for a while for a haulage company. Sadly in 1971 he became ill with Lung Cancer and dies in May 1972 aged 32. He was a great man…..
Dad with me in his arms
Dad
If I had my life to do over, I'd have chosen you to be my dad once more.
Even if it meant losing you again, It's worth all the tears in the world.
You were my sunshine when skies were grey.
I loved you and honoured you; You took all my tears away.
I was happy to be with you, proud to be your little girl.
Sometimes we would argue, but to me you meant the world.
Your love was always pure; you treated me as your own.
Your time seemed all too short and I feel so alone.
What can I take from this?
My heart is completely crushed.
But nothing loved is ever lost -And you are loved so much.
