DAD

 Happy Birthday, Dad—another one without you,

Love and kisses from here below.


Memories and tears, we miss you so,
I am sure you are somewhere very near,
Listening and watching—that much feels clear.


Sometime very soon God’s plan will come to be,
Together forever, you will certainly see.


Until then, life goes on day by day,
Our Heavenly Father, through Jesus, will show us the way.


The paradise promised is so very near,
United forever, with no more death or fear.

Brendan – A Sad Goodbye

-
  Today is the time to say a very sad goodbye, So young, we sit and wonder why. Our Heavenly Father said, “Come to me,” Brendan now in heavenly glory— How we wish we could just see. Two sets of twins, Sophie and more, Brendan now with Jesus, with a spiritual body pure. Because of Adam and Eve’s sin, we all must die, But we have the good news of God’s Kingdom, Though still we sit and sigh. Brendan, you were one of the best solicitors in England, on the Children Panel, In Turkey—did you ever ride on a camel? On a cold winter day, snow in the air, Down comes a robin, sitting with a stare. On a cool spring day, the sky with a glimmer, A white feather—though the clouds make it dimmer. The feather is found at the front door, But not just one—there are four more. Brendan will let you know he is always there, So look for the signs—you will wonder where. Even Jesus Christ cried for His friend Lazarus who passed away, Then the tomb was left empty, resurrected ...

​ You were the very best for this world to hold, To me, you were the very best, I sit in silence as the memories unfold. First there were memories of Rowena and yourself in the pub, Gomaa was the owner, the best place with the best grub. The good-looking man with the black, curly, bushy hair, Sitting with a newspaper and a cup of tea, You would say, “Come and sit next to me on the chair.” With a cigarette in your mouth, happily smiling away, “How come, Alison, you are always late? I would like you to stay.” “Please do not dash off, I would like to talk,” But you had no time, off you would walk. At the belly dancing night you told me to behave, Manoud used to take me to the Luxor cemetery To put flowers on your grave. When we arrived in Luxor, the best place to go, The King’s Head Pub, I rushed there with a glow. You would stand there staring at me from the bar, Often give me a lift home in your car. It is very hard because your brother in the shop just looks like you too, The wavy blac...

A TRIBUTE TO SOLICITOR BRENDAN

-
  I met Brendan in his office on a cold winter day, A service user introduced us—I didn’t know what to say. Brendan’s voice was so calm, he had lots to declare About the unfairness of the system—it just was not fair. Brendan said that he was happy to take PAIN cases, he said yes with a smile, One of the best solicitors in the UK at the Family Court trial. The care proceedings wins began to grow, Case law flowing, Brendan’s face would glow. Brendan spoke on my video for the Daily Mail Inspirational Women of the Year— A finalist, oh what a cheer. Brendan would open his office at weekends and very late at night, Even on Easter Monday, he would still be there to get the skeleton arguments just right. He would talk at conferences—in my opinion, Solicitor of the Year, Soon Brendan was to retire, I thought, “Oh my goodness, oh dear.” Fully retired? No—Brendan was back for all to see, I told everybody Brendan was back, no time even for a cup of tea. Brendan practised criminal law for many ...
