Brian James Brookes, born 16th February 1938. Married to Audrey, has 2 sons Ken an Michael and 1 daughter Jan (he also calls me Jaynie). He has 5 grandsons Ian Michael Luke Andrew and Lee, 5 great grandaughters Stacey Ellie Abigail Emma and our latest addition is Chloe-May who sadly he never got to meet but I know he is watching over her as he does all of us. He loved us all dearly, he loved to go for a pint an have a bet on the horses although he didnt pick many winners an we often used to play him up over it. Every christmas he used to sing what we called "his party piece" he wouldnt let us get away without hearing him sing it, I wish everyday I could hear it now. Dad passed away 13th April 2007 peacefully in his sleep which is always how he wanted to go he said. We all miss him so much. Dad we know you are with us all the time an watching over us all. Cant believe you aint here now, I still walk into moms an expect you to walk in, its not the same without you an we miss you so much. Love you dad Your Jaynie.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.

... I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.

I've heard roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me. Place them in my father's arms and tell him they're from me. Tell him I love and miss him and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile. Remembering him is easy, I do it everyday, but missing him leaves such an ache that never goes away. x happy fathers day dad..miss u much. . .♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

I will never say goodbye to you my Father
cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering.
I am happy for you, for you will be with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.
I remember how your arms hold me and give me strength.
You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
You were my very best friend.
In my triumphs you were always proud.
I’m very grateful and proud to call you my dad.
Here deep inside my heart you’ll always be.
I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time.
I remember the last time I hold you’re hand and how you looked at me in the eyes.
If only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go.
I felt the world stops and my heart stop beating when they told me you’re gone…….
How I wish I was only dreaming.
Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, I couldn’t speak for a while.
Thank you Dad….
For always understanding, listening , caring, and loving me for the rest of your life.
The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad…
It’s difficult to let you go but I must…
I must return the gift God gave me…
Till then;
See you in Heaven………

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know

I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed

I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below

So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.

Soldiers Lament (Dads "Party Peice")

A man came home from work one night to find his house without a light, he went upstairs to go to bed when a sudden thought came to his head

He went into his daughters room to find her hanging from a beam, he took a knife an cut her down and on her breast these words he found.

Oh lord I could not bear the shame to have this child without a name so dig my grave an dig it deep an lay white Lillies at my feet.

They dug her grave an dug it deep, an lay white Lillies at her feet and up above they placed a dove to show the world she died for love.

Now all you maidens bear in mind a soldiers love is hard to find, so if you find one good an true dont change the old one for the new.
