i cant believe its been a year since dean passed away We drove down to where the accident happened and lay some flowers but of course lyanne lacey had to go one better and buy a bloody 3ft rose bush, she had all the intentions of planting it until she got attacked by a swam of horse flies so she decided she will go back with a spade tomorrow. Wether that is to plant it with or to beat off the horse files i dont know you would have to ask her! It still doesnt seem real to any of us although deep down we know it is as you are no longer popping in to raid my fridge of things to munch on and kaitlin isnt crawling round my living room destroying everything in site. we just want you to know that we are thinking of you and that we are always here if you need someone to chat to. xxxxxxx

KAITLINS 2ND BIRTHDAY / GEM (WIFE)
waking up this morning to ur daughters 2nd birthday i didnt know wether to smile or cry! this time last year i remembered waking up so excited for her and even more excited know ing that u were there to celebrate her 1st birthday as u were in iraq for her first christmas! seeing her little face light up when she saw all her presents made me feel really happy and i know that u would be happy to see her so excited! she had lots of cards an presents of everyone an the phone was non stop with people wanting to wish her a happy birthday ! your mum, dad, hollie, nan, bamp ,steve an me where all here in the afternoon singing happy birthday an it almost brought me to tears because this time last year i remember claire had made her a cake an we all sang happy birthday to her ! it breaks my heart knowing thats she wont get to know u like we all do but im sure that when she gets older an when we tell her all the stories about u an the videos she will get an idea lol (then again all she has to do is look in the mirror). everyone misses u so much an we all wish that u were here with us!

My Cousin
People never knew just how much he meant to me and you They knew him by name, but it's still not the same
His eyes so bright, his smile so wide We always let him know we were right there by his side
Now he's gone from me and you Now we have no reason to be blue
We loved him, he loved us And we have to try not to fuss
He said goodbye and gave you a kiss Now all we can do is reminis
Why does God take the best to love Up to that great big world up above?
His memory will never leave His kind and gentle smile will always be seen
Never forget him, never let him leave your mind
I love u dean and we miss u sooo muchh. Tell him you love him, just one more time.

none/ Lucie Owen (no) so sorry to hear this. i was browsing on the internet and came across this site and had to read on when i saw it was about a motorcycle accident. it sounds devistating and our family had to go through the same heart breaking tragedy as a member of our family was knocked off their bike by a lorry and passed away. X hope all is well.
Easter Time / Kaitlin
Missing you loads Daddy. xxxxxxxx
Nine Months.... / Mam Nine months Dean since you have been gone from us. How have we survived these months I just don't know. Day nine after you died I couldn't imagine that we would have survived this long without you. Day Nine was when you arrived back here in Wales. I can remember every detail of that day. I was sat in my usual place in the garden. The phone rang, it was the undertakers telling me that you have arrived home to Caerphilly. I remember the moment it was surreal. How on earth was I listening to this person telling me that your body has just arrived at the funeral home?? It was a mixture of relief that you were back to the place you belonged and total and utter horror that we were talking about my son. I remember going to the chapel of rest and seeing your coffin. I was surprisingly calm, until I saw the gold plaque saying your name. I knew then that it was true that you were dead and never coming back. Kaitlin banged on your coffin as if to say wake up. She then crawled around the chapel, happily chattering away. That was the sunshine and ray of hope in all of this mess. I knew you would be looking down and smiling at that scene. It's not getting any easier Dean, the longer this goes on, the more we miss you. It's not true that 'time is a great healer'. Dad and I are testimony to that. We have had a particularly bad week. Your presence and being are so missed. The QDG boys are starting to go back to Iraq. I know you didn't want to go back there, but please Dean look over them. My heart is broken, I so desperately need to see you. Please come to me. Love you forever and ever Mam xxxxx
