Richard Kirkland,
Passed away suddenly of heart attack on 14/10/06
Aged 36 years.
Rich leaves behind a wife and 3 beautifull children, Tom aged 11, Will aged 9 and Daisy aged 3. We were a happy, loving family, Rich was a devoted husband and dad. He was a much loved son, brother and uncle. He is missed so much by us all.
TO MY RICH,
WE BOTH KNEW THAT WHEN WE MET,
THE TWO OF US WERE ONE,
BUT NO-ONE TOLD ME WHAT TO DO,
WHEN HALF OF ONE IS GONE,
WHAT TO DO WITH HALF A HEART,
OR HALF A WILL TO CARE,
WHAT TO DO WITH HALF A LIFE,
WHEN THE OTHER HALFS NOT THERE.
YOU WERE THE OTHER HALF OF ME,
A HEART LINKED WITH MY OWN,
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH HALF OF ME,
NOW THAT IM ALONE?
I CLOSE MY EYES AND SEE YOU,
I SEE YOU JUST THE SAME,
THE WAY YOU WALKED,
THE WAY YOU TALKED,
THE WAY YOU SAID MY NAME.
SILENTLY TEARS FALL GENTLY,
WHICH OTHERS DO NOT SEE,
FOR MY WONDERFULL, LOVING HUSBAND
WHO MEANT THE WORLD TO ME.
LOVE YOU FOREVER RICH.
ANNIE xxx
TO OUR DAD.
THERE IS A BRIGHT STAR FROM HEAVEN,
IT COMES OUT LATE AT NIGHT,
WE KNOW THAT IT IS YOU DAD,
THAT YOU'VE COME TO SAY GOODNIGHT,
AS LONG AS OUR HEARTS ARE BEATING,
AS LONG AS OUR EYES SHED TEARS,
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU,
NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS.
WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH DAD.
LOVE TOM, WILL AND DAISY X X X X
our little beanie dog
had to make a sad decision today rich....to put little bean to sleep...she had cancer and was so ill, there was nothing more the vets could do, so i watched her slip away peacefully. Be there to meet her wont you, and take her for a lovely long, pain free walk in the warm sun and fresh grass with max and kayla, your dad, bruce and jess....look after them all for me x x x x x x x x x x x x x
your lovely dad
its been a horrible time the last few weeks...your dad has come to you, left us all behind....we weren't expecting it at all and it hit us all hard..it was his funeral last thursday, was horrible saying goodbye, and being in that place bought back all the bad memories of losing you. I know though, that your dad will be with you now, and so so happy to see you, he was never the same after you were taken away from us, his spark was never the same...so we all know how chuffed he will be to be with you again...me and the kids are doing well, i have a new man in my life, he is so lovely an kind, he treats us all so well...i know you know that and are still watching over us...cus i know you gave your seal of approval when Boycie didnt bite him...the only man ever other than you that he likes..i couldn't believe it!!...you will never be out of our thoughts though richie...we are happy and settled, because we have to enjoy our lives as best we can...but we still misss you and always will...and i know you will be happy that me and the kids have found happiness again and are a family again...something i never thought we could do. Love you always x x x x x

I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.

center parcs
we had a great time at center parcs..kids loved it, just wish you could have been with us. You would love the slides at the swimming pool, acting like a big kid with andrew, craig and the kids!. Its strange because all the really good times we have are the hardest to get through cus i want you to be sharing them with us. It never gets any easier and although our lives are moving on, kids are getting older and we are getting used to you not being here, it is still just as painfull to think about you as the day you died. We watched some video of you the other day, i couldnt bring myself to before, but i enjoyed watching it..seeing your face and hearing your voice made me feel all warm inside. You look so happy and you can see how much you love the kids when you are with them. One of the videos is just a couple of months before you died..i looked so hard at your face, just to see if there was something i had missed, whether you looked ill or sounded strange...but nothing, you were just you, like you always were. I still find it so hard to believe you have gone..how can you look so well when you were going to die so soon after? Will always miss you and love you...forever x x x x x
memories
been having lots of memories lately, us sat on the bench at midnight on new years eve on the common, watching all the fireworks...sledging with the kids, going up to the horses at night...just all the things we used to do. It used to hurt too much to think about it before, but now i can think about it, and although i cry, i smile at things too. You were so funny, the funniest person iv ever met..such a dry sense of humour, i miss it so much, i just cant laugh like we used to, i feel like that part of me is missing, i feel old i suppose now. Im still getting on with things, got to make a new life without you, but it feels false, cus its not the way i want it. I go out more now, almost every weekend...but when i get home, your not there, and even this far on..it still brings me back down with a bang..just wish you were there asleep in bed. I love you so much..miss you duck x x x x
christmas
cant tell you how much im struggling today duck, i just want my old life back...it hurts so much that your not here...it was you that made christmas magic for us..you were full of fun at xmas...always wanted to spend too much on the kids, and you spent ages practicing new magic tricks to show everyone!...and then you would get all narky when people tried to work out how they were done..you wanted it to stay magic!! Now xmas day is just a day when its more apparent how tragic it is that your not here, i feel so sad for you that you arent watching the kids open their presents, getting on my nerves stealing the food while im cooking it, and falling to sleep watching only fools and horses whith my head on your knee, all such simple stuff, but it hurts so much your not here to share it. We love you duck, and you will be in our thoughts all day..just as you are every day.
Yours Forever
Annie x x
