My uncle is my hero. And was the bravest person i ever met and ever will meet.

He overcame a brain tumour and beat cancer and was an absolute inspiration to me, and was nothing
less than a hero in my eyes, but in 2006 his cancer returned and we got the worst news of my life,
that my uncles cancer was terminal, meaning it couldnt be cured and would eventually kill him.

My uncle was never told that his cancer was terminal, but deep down i know in my heart that he knew
and was just keeping a brave face for everyone elses sake.

I seen my uncle deteriorate so much but he just kept smiling and cracking jokes and giving me abuse
as usual making me laugh.

I always remember seeing the fear in his eyes one night when i went to visit him in hospital when he
wasnt doing too well and it upset me so much because for the first time i saw behind that brave face
of his, he meant so much to me but being a typical male i never told him that

In february 2007 he was given a matter of weeks to live, but being the fighter he was he battled on
until the 8th of december 2007 when he eventually passed away in his sleep in his bed at home.

He was much more than an uncle to me, he was one of my best friends and i miss him every second of
every single day. And i know the day he died i gained a guardian angel.

I always remember the moment i was told by my mum that you were gone mate and although it was
expected it hit me so hard but luckily you know iv got some amazing mates and everyone stood by me
and was there for me, and they were there for you as well the day of your funeral, that was one of
the hardest days of my life mate, from the moment i walked in the church and heard the music
playing my heart broke in peices but i stayed strong because i know thats what you would of wanted,
bet ya phily had his everton top on under that shirt and tie just to be cheeky!

I miss the way he used to just walk in our house and i miss going down stairs to find him down there
chatting away. And i miss hearing him banging up my stairs an tellin me to turn my rap and rnb music
off and put some real music on haha

Nothing was ever to much for him and he would go out of his way to help people and to put a smile on
their face no matter what.

My uncle and my dad were so close and they used to bounce off each other. Whenever he was rushed
into hospital it was always him who he would ask for, and my dad would be there in no time by his
side, so would i. Me mum misses you so much as well, i know you had a soft spot for her like
everyone else who meets her, watch down over her for me mate

Our Ste and Karla miss you so much as well mate im sure you know how much they miss you, words
couldnt even describe.

He loved planes and now hes flying high with them.

I miss you so much mate, i keep a brave face but deep inside im still hurting. its been a year but
it doesnt get any easier at all. it hurts me every single day knowing how you got taken away, and
knowing you got taken away too soon,you had so much to offer the world but i know your in a better
place now and your not in any pain anymore, plus you've got a belter view of all the planes you want
now ha!

Keep watching down over me, i couldnt of asked for a better guardian angel than you, i miss you so
much mate x

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

alrite mate
feels weird talkin on this but its a good way to get stuff out innit.

it was me graduation last satdy, bet u wer laughin ur head off lookin at me in that stupid cap an gown i looked like a scouser in hogwarts ha! who'd of thought id come so far, you probly know it now but it was you that got me through all the hard times at uni, the times i wanted to quit the course i just battled on because i wanted to make you proud. it was a good day like my mum and that were made up but it was hard for me because if you were still here you were guaranteed a ticket to be there mate, i know you were there with me every step though.

im finding me new job hard going at the minute, im not enjoying it all mate but i wanna just see 6 months out and do what i need to do and move on to bigger and better things,im 4 months into it so a couple left and the worlds my oyster ay, i think i wanna move in a new direction an join the fire service mate but its really hard to get into so i need a bit of help with that, anyway im out now mate, watch over my mum for me wont ya, you know shes a fighter just like me and you, she works her ass off but im worried she works too hard so just keep a little eye on her for me.
