This is for my grandad, Robert William Forth, Billy to most that knew him..he left us on the 22nd May 2005, aged 76 and it tore us all apart!! He was from Houghton-Le-Spring and is brother to 3 sisters, Violet, Shiela and Lily, dad to 6; Lesley, Lib, John, Kim, Ronnie and Alan. Husband to Dorothy Forth nee Allen and grandad and great grandad to too many of us to mention. He will be joining his grandons Rory and John-Paul along with his daughter that passed away shortly after birth, Tracy. Sadly, now in 2010, his sisters Lily and Violet have also now passed along with his son Kim, hopefully they are all together again!!
He sadly passed away after a long stay in hospital but he left us long before then, the morphine took him away from us before god did.
My grandad was the most amazing kindest man you could meet!! Whatever any of us wanted we could have. It is still my goal now to make him proud because I know that he is looking down on me. I once went to a medium and before I went I told my family that if he told me my grandad was proud of me then I knew that he was there and just before I left the room he said 'your grandad is very proud of you', and thats when I knew that he was still around and am still a strong believer in afterlife!
Grandad, we all miss you sooo soooo much!! It doesnt feel like you've been gone for 5 years! But I know in the end we had to let you go, you were in so much pain and it just wasnt right, we were selfish putting our pain over yours and wanting you to stay!! It all seemed to happen so quickly though, from going into hospital and being okay, laughing at the old men in the beds opposite fighting over beds and walking sticks to you being on that ward where everyone was dying around you and where they put you on so much morphine..and where they told us you were...going to die! You werent really with us in the end anyway, they put you on all that morphine and you didnt even recognise we were there anymore, it was heart breaking...and even worse is the day you'd tried to eat because my mam told you you could come home like you wanted if u started eating..everytime I think of that I could cry for u! Because you tried! We all knew you wanted to come home but it was too hard for nana to lift you out of bed and care for you...we brought u home before the funeral though so you got your last wish! I remember when you were in hospital just before the end and I was crying in my room one night and my mam heard and came and told me it would be okay...the same thing happened the night before we buried your ashes, but this time it wasnt ever going to be ok again, you'd gone and we couldn't change that!! Its sooo frustrating that we all want you soo bad n can't have you!!! I wish you could have stayed Grandad! I miss you so much!
All the memories are going through my head now as I decide what to write but I've decided that I wont write them because every single memory of your last months with us break my heart...I just want you to know that we all miss you so much every single day! Especially nana, she misses you, you were her companion. She misses you being there keeping her company or even just being able to hear you moving around upstairs....love you for always grandad and your always in our hearts and thoughts so your never to far away!! Until the day I see you again....I wont say goodbye coz goodbye means forever...see you soon, love you x x x x x x x x xx x
Five years have now passed since you were here. Its been so long since I was on here, the pain in my heart is just too much when I look at the comments left.
Another Forth up there now...I know you will all be together now. You, Rory, Lily, Violet and now Kim! You are all missed so much!!
Everytime I think of you it still breaks my heart, I just miss you so much! I dream of you all the time! I hope you can still see us and that you are proud of all we have all achieved since you were gone...just still cant believe it really, even though it has been over 5 years since I last saw you. The grief is still overwhelming!!
Nana is having a hard time at the minute, trying to cope with losing Kim. Look over her Grandad and let her know you are around. I know she misses you like crazy!!
I hope we will all be together again 1 day! Love you today and always! Missing you like crazy!! Cant even begin to explain how I feel! xxxxxxxx
coming up to four years for you now grandad, just cannot believe it! So much has happened since u were here! I still think about you all the time and there is still an emptiness in my heart that you once filled! time is a great healer but that doesn't mean that i will ever be over losin you, I just have to live with it, i don't think the tears will ever stop! these next few weeks are very important for me so please watch over me and help me through!
Aunt Sheila send her love to you and Lily and Vi too, we hope that you have met again in heaven and that we will see you there one day too!
All the love in the world Grandad, you're forever in our hearts and thoughts so you're never too far away! Love and miss you more than words could say! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Look for me in springtime
As raindrops fill the air
In the splendour of the rainbow
You’ll find my presence there.
You will find me in the fragrance
Of April’s sweet perfume
Drifting through the clover
On a sultry day in June.
An August day will find me
Upon the summer breeze
On the distant sound of the thunder
In the gently swaying trees.
In the golden fields of harvest
Is where I can be found
As autumn time approaches
And leaves comes tumbling down.
In the wintertime when days are short
And chill is in the air
Just look into a moonlit night
You’ll find me lingering there.
When the setting sun has gone away
And shadows fill the night
When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil
I’ll be your morning light.
So when you feel discouraged
And at night to God you pray
You’ll feel me there beside you
I’m just a breath away.

Sorry I haven't been on for ages, but please know you are always in my thoughts. Love Mel (Grace and Francis Doe). xxx
Theres three of you up in heaven now -Billy, Violet and most recently Lily - in such a short space of time, its heartbreaking for everyone whose life each of you have blessed! Take care of each other up there and look over each and everyone of us as we continue to be blessed by the memories we have of you! Such a shame about Lily after all the hard work Aunt Sheila put in with her, staying with her for 5months and then as soon as she has went back home Lily has finally let go and slipped away but we all have a time and date and there was no oe that could have stopped it happening. Just wanted to say that we are all thinking of all 3 of you and love you all so much, you will be extremely missed by everyone that knew either of u! Be happy up in heaven with the angels and keep smiling down on us! Until we meet again, xxxx
Light a Candle
Light a candle for those we mourn,
Into a new life they will be born
Do not look for them at the gravesite,
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone into a new world
Where there is no darkness, no pain
Their light and essence will always remain...
Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place,
They are free to travel through time and space
When we think of them, they are near,
When we sit in a beautiful garden, their voices we hear
When we listen to a divine symphony
We close our eyes, their faces we see...
Light a candle for they have not really gone
With each flickering flame, in your hearts
They will always belong...
Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I have had a lot of changes at home and it has been a lot to deal with! Thinking of you always. Love Mel (Grace and Francis Doe) xxxxx
I Felt an Angel
I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
I felt an angel's kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
I felt an angel's loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
I felt an angel's tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
I felt an angel's silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.

~Think of Me~
Remember Me:
To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea - remember me.
As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me.
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity - remember me.
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, and your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will have never gone.
Dear Jody, thank you so much for all your support. Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I have not been very well, but am always thinking of my GTS friends and their angels. All my love. xxx
Love you and miss you always xxx
Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our lives without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.
~Things I left unsaid.~
Family o' mine:
I should like to send you a sunbeam, or the twinkle of some bright star,
or a tiny piece of the downy fleece that clings to a cloud afar.
I should like to send you the essence of a myriad sun-kissed flowers,
or the lilting song as it floats along, of a brook through fairy bowers.
I should like to send you the dew-drops that glisten at break of day,
and then at night the eerie light that mantles the Milky Way.
I should like to send you the power that nothing can overthrow -
the power to smile and laugh the while a-journeying through life you go.
But these are mere fanciful wishes; I'll send you a Godspeed instead,
and I'll clasp your hand - then you'll understand all the things I have left unsaid.
Jody, sorry I haven't been on for a while, I haven't been too well. All my love as always. xxx
