Love grandad from Craig and richard

I have great memories of a lovely gentleman, who I’ve known for 35 years. It’s great to see how your family has flourished and for that, you should be immensely proud. My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

ONE NIGHT I DREAMED A DREAM.
AS I WAS WALKING ALONG THE BEACH
WITH MY LORD .
ACROSS THE DARK SKY FLASHED SCENES
FROM MY LIFE .
FOR EACH SCENE , I NOTICED TWO SETS OF
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND ,
ONE BELONGING TO ME AND ONE TO MY
LORD .

AFTER THE LAST SCENE OF MY LIFE FLASHED
BEFORE ME ,
I LOOKED BACK AT THE FOOTPRINTS IN THE
SAND .
I NOTICED THAT AT MANY TIMES ALONG
THE PATH OF MY LIFE ,
ESPECIALLY AT THE VERY LOWEST AND
SADDEST TIMES ,
THERE WAS ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS .

THIS REALLY TROUBLED ME , SO I ASKED
THE LORD ABOUT IT .
LORD YOU SAID ONCE I DECIDED TO
FOLLOW YOU ,
YOU'D WALK WITH ME ALL THE WAY .
BUT I NOTICED THAT DURING THE SADDEST
AND MOST TROUBLESOME TIMES OF MY
LIFE ,
THERE WAS ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS .
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY , WHEN I
NEEDED YOU MOST , YOU WOULD
LEAVE ME

HE WHISPERED , MY PRECIOUS CHILD , I
LOVE YOU AND WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU
NEVER , EVER , DURING YOUR TRAILS AND
TESTINGS .

WHEN YOU SAW ONLY ONE SET OF
FOOTPRINTS ,
IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU .

TO DAD
ALL MY LOVE
FRANK , KAREN ,AMY XXXXXXXXXX

Dad
We'll always remember that special smile,
that caring heart.
That warm embrace,
You being there
For Mum and us,
Through good and bad times,
No matter what,
We'll always remember
You Dad because
They'll never be another one
To replace you in our hearts
And the love we will always
Have for you.

Lots of love and kisses
Mark and Anne xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
