Shad was the name which my Dad was mostly known by, he was given the nickname from his grandad when he was a baby for being so small. Such a caring ,loving man who done everything for his family and thought the world of his grand-children.
My Dad was taken from our family too soon, there were so many things we wanted to do. My Dad is so sadly missed by his wife Joan, myself his daughter Joanne and 2 sons Keith and David. My 2 sons Lewis and Kyle really miss their grandad as he always took them out and to the park. Grand-daughter Emma and son in law Martin along with future daughter in laws Louise and Karen sorely miss him with his jokes and happiness he brought. We all have such happy memories which we talk about all the time to keep him with us.
When we go on holiday it's not the same without him there and the special occasions that come up. Even just to hear his voice again would be a dream come true and hear him laughing with us.
My dad also left behind 7 brothers and sisters who dearly miss him and look back on lots of loving memories which we all have deep in our hearts.
After being diagnosed with a tumour near to the liver my Dad was given the opprtunity of an operation, which without the operation he would of possibly lived for 12 months. So to try and prolong his time with us he went into Freemans Hospital at Newcastle for the 10 hour operation. Unfortunately 6 weeks after the operation my Dad lost his battle. He went through many complications and developed infections until he could battle on no more and his body gave up. At that time when the machines had to be switched off I felt my whole world had caved in around me, it was so hard to say goodnight knowing it was forever, at least until we meet again
If you were here
If you were here dad with us you would be looking forward to the arrival of a new grandson. Dave and Louise are expecting a son and going to call him Max Gilbert Harrington. He is due in May, we are all looking forward to meeting him.
Our holidays are booked once again and mam is coming away with us, as you would be if you were here with us, but I know you are always near by, although we can not see you I know you are watching over us in everything we do.
Love you and miss you always Joanne xxxxx

Christmas With the King
To my dearest family that I left behind,
I need to touch your heart tonight.
For it's Christmas and you're missing me,
And the season doesn't seem so bright.
While others are celebrating the holiday,
you find it hard to do the same.
You watch other families gather in splendor,
while you tearfully mention my name.
I know it was painful for you this year,
to decorate your Christmas tree.
For you cried as you hung each ornament.
Your thoughts were focused on me.
You shopped for presents for others.
Although you felt out of place.
When each day was over,
I could see loneliness written on your face.
You can't seem to get into the spirit.
To enjoy any festivities this year.
But think of the Christmases in the past,
and you'll feel my presence near.
Yes, and I come tonight to let you know
I'm happier than I could ever be.
I'm spending my Christmas in Heaven;
With the one who died for me.
So go out and feel that Christmas cheer.
Listen to the choirs as they sing.
And know that I'm happier than I've ever been...
Spending Christmas with the King.
Dad
⋱♰⋰ I Am With You Always ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ As you hold me close in memory ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Even though we are apart ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ My spirit will live on ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ There within your heart ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I am with you always ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ When you lean on trusted friends ⋱♰⋰

⋱♰⋰ Within their loving arms ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I'll be there to hold you ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I am with you always ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ And beyond the far horizon ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ When we'll finally be together ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Where love will be eternal ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ And life will last forever ⋱♰⋰
Merry Christmas Dad

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.

Dad
Once again dad its christmas time, such a special time of the year, our trees are up and i know how you loved putting the tree up, you would complain about the lights getting tangled up but would always be there to help us.
A time for families to come together, but since you have gone it is so strange not having you around. you are always in our thoughts Dad, everything I do and everywhere I go you are there in my heart and my memories of you are so alive.
Wish you could share another christmas day with us, all sitting together for our christmas dinner one more time.
Loving you and missing you always Joanne xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On your 4th Memorial Dad
In my thoughts as always
It's been 4 years now Dad since the day we had to let you go,
On that day a part of me went with you and I don't think I will ever recover from that,
I know you couldn't take anymore, everything that was happening to you,
You just did not deserve it,
The most family loving man, A great dad to us and ever so loving grandad.
I miss you so so much, I watch home videos to hear you talk, but wish you were here to share our lives with us.
your memories live on in us all, I know you are watching over us at times when we need you and I believe you do guide us along in your own way.
Loving you and remembering you always
Your forever loving daughter Joanne, Marty and grandsons Lewis and Kyle xxxxxxxxxxx
A message from Mam For You Dad
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.
Love Always Joan your loving wife xxx
Remembering Dad
I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.
Loving You
Joanne xxx
My Darling Husband
My dear husband, Shad,
I miss you so very much,
I thought of you with love today,
I thought about you yesterday,
And the day before that too.
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
Now all i have is memories and our picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake
with which I will never part,
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart.
Its lonely here without you darling.
God bless you Shad
My love forever and always
Your loving wife Joan
