The last day I saw you I nearly cried,
You had that look in your eyes that you was going to die.
Before you went it seemed like you had said I proper goodbye.
I really don't know why I just couldn't bring myself to say a proper goodbye.
I guess I just didn't want to believe that it would be our last goodbye.
Months later on the 22nd of September at half past 10 I felt and empty feeling like someone had pulled a big chunk out of me from inside.
I felt a tingling all over, I remember wanting to cry.
Later on that night mum shouted... Nannar was on the phone.
Mum looked really pale.
It was a moment where everything seemed so unreal, the day that she told me you had passed away!
It's been a few months now and I still miss you to this very day.
I just wished I had said I proper goodbye.
In years to come I know I will always be able to remember your smell and ever pub I go into I will remember you standing at the bar with a pint beside you cracking jokes to grandad.I'll never be lonely with my memories of you all around me. I still can't believe you have gone but like mum says my thoughts and memories of you never will. My heart is still broken but knowing even though you passed away it doesn't mean you have totally gone.
Heaven may seem far away but with you in my heart Uncle Derick... i would walk it for you... every step of the way.
