Although its been 2 years since you left, the tears will not stop flowing. Along the path of the old life's road, the road that's never ending, it seems so dark and out of control, come on help me make it. We have all changed so much since you left it will never be the same. Your girls are growing fast, but Patrick they miss you. They smelt a coat of yours, it nearly broke my heart, they said they could smell you. I know in my heart that you will see they come to no harm, and see them through without tears. So my Bro, I know you wanted to go, please believe we still Love You. Your sister Diana & Daughters Teagan Patricia 9yrs, Racheal Joan 5yrs & Elle 2yrs.
Patrick Jan and Baby Teagan
We miss you and will always love and remember you Daddy. We have a christmas cracker under the tree for you... your girls Teagan and Rachel
A poem Diana wrote for her brother Patrick
Baby Brother,
You left behind three sisters, Sis is what you called us.
We were all around when you were born,Four mothers you had to spoil you.
We rocked and pushed you for hours on end, For if we didn't you sure let us know.
The baby brother we possessed in our hearts, You were never a bother at all
, Our Mother who bore you and loved you, With the greatest love of all,
Had to leave you when you were still quite small.
In the years there after you couldn't, Remember being with her at all,
We tried to tell you honestly, You were her greatest joy,
Now your up above and in her arms once more,
Safe within their folds. The little boy inside you,
will once again be loved By the greatest love of all.
*****
Written for Patrick by his Sister Diana,
Who helped care for him from an early age, after the death of their mother,
only to loose him as well. But Patrick lives on in his three beautiful daughters,
His sisters will never let them forget, they were his greatest love of all.
Patrick, Your in my mind and heart always Diana
