My dad Tom Sweenie was the greatest dad in the world who will be sady missed by both me and my mum
we will love and miss him forever.
Born on the 6th November 1934 my dad lived through some very tough times as a child surviving the
Clydebank blitz he went onto to become a joiner in John Brown's shipyard until he turned 21 and got
called up for national service where he spent his time in the army in Germany on his return he
worked as a fireman in clydebank until he met and married my mum on the 3rd July 1965 and he went
back to being a joiner and then on the 4th april 1977 i came along and changed his life forever.
My dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer 4 years ago and was responding well to his treatment until
December 2007 when the doctors decided they were going to operate and remove dads tumour it was a
bigger operation than we expected they removed dads stomach, his spleen,the tail of his pancrease
and a small part of his liver when he got home in January he was doing brilliant he was is old self
again walking our 2 dogs they were his pride and joy, doing odd jobs about the house and of course
he went back to watching his beloved Glasgow Rangers although he never got to many away games he
never missed a home game and there's not many people that can say they've seen their team play in 2
european cup finals. The Scottish cup final 2008 will always be special to me as it was the last
game i went to with my dad because when he went for his check up in August they discovered my dad
had another tumour and the cancer had spread to his liver it was a very aggresive and painfull
tumour and dad lost his battle on the 4th September 2008.
I would'nt be the person i am today if it was'nt for my dad he was'nt just my dad he was my best
friend he taught me so much and i'll never forget the look of pride on his face the day i passed my
driving test cause if it was'nt for him i'd still be walking everyhere. My dad had a heart of gold
always willing to help everyone he was at his happiest when he had a hammer in his hand fixing
something or listening to his country and western music he would always make mum and i laugh when he
started singing along. My dad had a great sense of humour he was always cracking jokes and some of
them were so bad you just had to laugh at them. When you talk to people about dad they always
mention his jokes.
On the 4th September 2008 i lost one of my greatest friends MY DAD i will never forget him and i'll
always love him he was one in a million and im so proud to be his daughter So rest in peace Dad
until we meet again you were'nt just a great dad you were SIMPLY THE BEST!

Missing You Dadxxxx
A Fathers touch, A daddy's kiss
A grieving daughter, your greatly missed
An empty house, an empty chair
A fathers love no longer there.
A broken heart, a tear filled eye
Another soul to fill the sky
Many memories in my mind
Some i laugh, some i cry.
The times we shared, the laughs we had
Things i miss when of you dad
Realizing thats all i have to hold on to
Only memories, of what once was you
Missing your laugh, i will never again hear
That is the reallity that fills me with fear
No more smile on your face
No more warmth of your embrace
The last hug, the last kiss
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...
To have you Dad here, today
Never to leave your daughter this way.
A Fathers touch, A DADDY'S KISS
A grieving daughter, your GREATLY MISSED!
I love you so much dad
Margoxxxx
We Will Never Forget You
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heart ache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.xxx
I am so sorry for your loss, love Lynne (William Middleton's Daughter) xxxx

God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of the summer sun
The calm of the quite sea
The generous soul of nature
The comferting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagles flight
The joy of a morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
Then God combined these qualities
When there was nothing more to add
He knew his masterpiece was complete
And so
He called it....DAD
Love you always Dad
Margoxxxx
for you
When days are sad and lonely,
And everythig goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
Cheer up and carry on.
Dear Lord
I know you are busy with the good things you do
But if you could spare time i'd be grateful to you
To seek out in heaven the one that i miss
And give him my letter thats sealed with a kiss.
It wasn't his fault that he had to go
Tell him dont worry and please let him know
That i had a dad that was one of a kind
And he'll always be in my heart and my mind.
So please read to dad the words in my letter
And tell him i love him and hope that he's better
And just one more thing if it's not too much trouble
Could you reach out and give him a cuddle.
Sent to you dad with all my love Margoxxxx

To my dearest family, some things i'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that i arrived okay.
I'm writing this, from heaven, here i dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because im out of sight
Remember that im with you every morning, noon and night
That day i had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and said I welcome you
I'ts good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; your part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and i are closest to you... in the middle of the nigh.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
Because your only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that i could tell you all that god has planned
But if i were to tell you, you would't understand
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er
Im closer to you now, than i ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time
It was my philosophy and i'd like it for you too..
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain
Then you can say to God at night.... 'my day was not in vain'
And now i am contented... that my life has been worthwhile
Knowing as i passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When your walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind
Im walking in your footsteps only half a step behind,
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free
Remember you're not going.... Your coming here to me.

Gone are the days we used to share
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
love as always kathleen xxxx
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered 'come with me'
With tearfull eyes we watched you
We watched you fade away
Although we miss you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands now rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
Your simply the best dad think about you everyday love Margoxxxx
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart,
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark,
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul,
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold,
If you ask me how I'm doing I'd say just fine,
But the truth is, if you could read my mind,
Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you,
After all this time, you're still with me it's true,
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside,
love as always Margo have a peaceful weekend kathleen xxx
