Terence Frost (Passed away 9 Oct 2018)

In loving memory of Terry.. Miss you, love Ruth & the cats xxx

Miss you Terry.. xxx Thinking of you & all who miss you.. & remembering the many years of happiness & support you gave Mum (Joan) & to me & the cats, especially when I came back to live nr you both in Wales.. I’m so grateful you were in Mum’s life as she was so happy, after the tragedies she suffered.. I missed you so much when you moved back to Swansea, after Mum died. It was so hard not seeing you everyday, & I wish I’d not been so depressed & ill myself, & been able to see you far more often. It’s something I will always regret.. & I hope you realised how hard it was for me & knew how I missed you.. as did all your neighbours & friends, especially Glenys who asked after you every time I saw her.. but I’m glad you were happy to be back in Swansea to be closer to your kids & Aimee, who I know you loved dearly. I’ll never forget your constant stream of jokes, all your stories of your life with your dear wife Audrey, & of your kids when they were growing up, of your beloved dogs & pigeons, & how we’d go through your bird books & photos together, reminiscing of your time in The Welsh Guards, all your interesting jobs like at Swansea Prison, & how you proudly told me of your apprenticeship & all the stone walls you helped build, & how especially proud you were to have helped build the walls surrounding Castle Square in Swansea.. You were my go to source of knowledge on birds, & you’d be so impressed with how many birds there are in the garden now, & frogs, foxes & hedgehogs. I remember us scattering Mum’s ashes together in the garden she loved, & to this day I think of you every time I see the birds, do any pruning & odd jobs in the garden, especially those needing your bucket of cement, & the happy times we all spent in the garden together surrounded by the birdsong & Mum’s flowers & plants. I have so many nice memories, especially of Xmases & New Years & the football themed birthday I did for you before Mum died, to honour your passionate support for The Swans. & how you were so pleased with the Swansea FC mug I got you that you kept it in pride of place. But I also think of you while doing the little everyday things like sorting the recycling, to taking all my meds, to pruning the bushes, & doing the dishes after Mum cooked.. to us all watching TV together.. I wish I was as organised as you were Terry, & I still find myself seeing programmes on TV & think Mum & Terry would of loved that.. especially nature programmes, like the fascinating series we watched on China’s amazing wildlife & countryside. Going through my own deteriorating health, sciatica & cancer, I appreciate so much more the struggles you had with your own health & constant back pain. I will always regret not seeing you in the end.. but I am so grateful to the many years I did get to spend time with you & Mum, from when I came back from London on visits, to when I moved back here. Rest in Peace Mr Frost, AKA Pigeon, love & miss you.. Ruth AKA Cat Woman.. xxx
