Dean Croad

To Dean Croad, flat 1 ,Paradise Row Heaven

Hi Dean.
Just had a chat with Jonathan before I came here. I mentioned that when it comes my turn to climb the Golden Stairs, I might open a 60,s revival club next to the club that I feel sure you and Jonathan are running.
Well Dean looking at your mail on here I'd say you had one heck of a load of friend’s, who thought the world of you. Every day I see mail coming into my inbox for you. Your mum says she wishes that you knew just how many people cared for you when you were down here, well maybe you did, and maybe you didn’t. Only you will know that.

But we know there are times when we have things on our minds that we can't bring ourselves to share with anyone. For all manner of reasons, not that we can’t trust anyone, sometimes we can't even face our own thoughts and the way those thoughts make us feel. We think that they will go away, but then when we are at our lowest they raise their ugly head Yet again.
Some of us pretend to be strong when really we are struggling inside, yet we are either too proud, or we feel ashamed of what we perceive to be our weakness, to share this with others..
.
When you left this Earth for your Heavenly home, I remember saying to some of your mates ..."Let Deans parting be your saving, ,,, there are enough of you to keep one another and your family supported throughout the following very sad weeks and months ahead and the difficult times that each and every one of them may come across in their lives ahead. They agreed and apparently made a pact to talk to each other when the going got tough, whether it be to do with relationships/work/or financial problems. Well Dean you left them with something positive and I believe you left them hope. I do hope that they honour what was said at the time because then your parting was not in vain as it opened up a life line for others. Your mum needs your support right now as do all your family. Give them a sign if you can and let them know that you are in a better place than we all are down here. Keep smiling now and always...

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need
To see me through

Sometimes it seems that
The going is just too rough
And things go wrong
No matter what I do
Now and then I feel
That life is just too much
But you've got the love
I need to see me through

When food is gone
You are my daily meal
When friends are gone I know
My saviour's love is real
Your love is real

Every once in a while
I say Lord I can't go on
Every once in a while
I get to feeling blue
Every once in a while
it seems like I am all alone
But you got the love
I need to see me through

Occasionally
my thoughts are brave and friends are few
Occasionally
I cry out Lord what must I do
Occasionally
I call up Master make me new
You've got the love
I need to see me through

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need
To see me through

SOMEONE SPECIAL.
Can't believe it's 3 years.

There's an empty feeling deep within
it just won't go away
And you know it will come seeping in
especially like today.
But very special thoughts of you
at least bring happy memories through.
They are such a healing balm
to ease a grieving mind
They bring about a sense of calm
they help you to unwind
Priceless gifts to which we clutch
because you're missed so very much
We just don't know what life will hold
what lies around the bend
For you were truly solid gold
and grieving hearts will mend
But thoughts of you will never fade
they live where all our dreams were made.
LOVE YOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

3 Years Tomorrow.....

Bean!
3 years ago tomorrow!.....Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday that I saw that smile and heard that laugh! I miss you so much, we all do. The next few days are filled with constant thoughts of you. Some of it we will be subconciously re-living the awful minutes/hours/days that shattered us all back then, and the rest of it we will remember the good old beautiful you...The guy that gave great advice, but never listened to it. The guy that would light up the room with his big smile and dirty laugh. The guy that could argue with anyone about anything if given a JD and coke. The guy that loved un-cool music regardless of who was there to witness it. The guy who always had a great big cuddle and comforting words whenever they were needed. I loved and respected you so much when you was here, I love you and respect you so much more now. You are my brave soldier Dean. My poppy is for you, my silence is for you. Love you always, keep smiling x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x X
