This is a page in memory of our lovely dad David Keith Morton. 2/12/2003 was the worst day of our
lives because we had to say goodby to dad.Well dad was a good man he would help anyone and he was
always there for us.He was also a very proud man he always worked to provide for his family we was
his world.Dad would say that mum was the best thing that ever happened to him and he would be lost
without her but now we are lost without you dad.Life is very hard now you have gone we have been
there for each other as much as we can but nothing ever takes away the pain of losing you.You was
still in your prime when you died you had a horrid disease Motor Neurone none of us new anything
about MND so we had to learn about it as time went on.Mum and you went to support groups to help you
to understand and you try to let us know as much as possible but i couldnt take it in that finally
you wouldnt survive and in the end it only took about 18 month from you being a healthy man a horsie
to your grandchildren, to someone who couldnt pick them up which was heart breaking for you as well
as us but you was still dad having a laugh having the odd paddy by throwing dummy out of your
pram.But you was still there for us We all new how much you loved us all and how much we all ment to
you.I just hope you new how much we loved you and what you ment and do still mean to us dad. we all
miss you so much we just wish there was a cure for MND but you new and said there would never be a
cure in your life time and sadly dad you was right .You got taken away from us by a very cruel
disease which frightened us all.I still remember when you came to ours to tell us what was wrong
with you .You told me to sit down and all i thought was no not cancer , but it wasnt it was much
much worse it was a illness with no cure.WHY did it have to be you, why couldnt it have been a cold
or the flu so you could have got better so you could still be here with us enjoying your life your
grandchildren.Im sure you know that you are a greatgrandad to lovely joshuar.The day you died you
said you didnt feel right but you didnt know what was wrong . Me and mum popped out for a bit
leaving you to settle down to watch your football we went to the shops just around the corner where
you lived.When we left the shops to go to the next place i had a feeling, something telling me to go
back to you i said to myself dont be silly he fine he was watching his football but dad how wrong i
was it has taught me a lesson the very hard way i should have listen to my feeling because when we
got back you was on the floor in the hall you had got up to answer the front door ,which mum always
told you not to worry about doing but you being you , you went to the door and took a parcel in
which was a xmas present from mum which you never got to see because on the way back to your chair
you had a stroke and collapsed.When we walked in seeing you lying there we just didnt know what to
do mum phoned 999 i got hold of Andrew and Darren (brothers)on my mobile and then John(my
husband)the ambulance seem to take for ever to come we put you dressing gown over you .You was still
alive but only just ,Me having to tell nan(mum)over the phone was very hard she was crying i just
didnt know what to do or say when the rappid response arrived the worked very fast on you. your
heart had stopped but they got it going again they took you away befor Andrew Darren and John got to
use but you hung on intil we was all together.I kept saying to myself they are not going to take you
out of this house in a body bag ,dad you seemed to know that as you stayed with us intill all your
family was all there you was lying there so peacefully i could see the pain had left you . we all
new you didnt want to be brought back to us because you was in so much pain you went when you wanted
to, you could still walk talk eat and breath and i know it scared you that you would go on that long
you wouldnt be able to do any of those things. We had to let you go which was so hard.I was holding
your hand and mum Andy Darren was next to your head and just before your heart took its final beat
you squeezed my hand as if to say im going now goodby that helped me a bit ,but what also helped
was carrying you in to the crem me Andy Darren John and your brother Paul and now i say you are
sitting on my right shoulder and thats where you will always be .I was very proud to carry you dad
it was very hard placing you down at the crem but bottom line dad i new its what you wanted, to be
at peace you fought your battle now its time for you to rest.I know the pain has left you and i hope
you are having a time of your life now and also i hope you are with all the other loved ones we have
lost in our family.We love you so much dad.If we are not talking about you we are thinking about
you.How could we not you was such a great person well loved and well liked.Just dont know what else
to say.My feeling are telling me you are ok now so that is what i am going with.With all our love
hugs and kisses from your children Vanessa Andrew Darren XXXXXXXXXXXXX

So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'
That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
a poem for u
When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready
in heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

To my dearest family – some things I’d like to say,
But first of all to let you know that I’ve arrived ok,
I’m writing this from heaven; here I dwell with God above,
There are no more tears of sadness – just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight,
Remember that I am with you – morning, noon and night.
The day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up, hugged me and said – “I welcome you.
It’s good to have you back again – you were missed while you were gone,
As for your family – they’ll be here later on.
I need you here badly – you are part of my plan,
There’s so much we have to do to help our mortal man.”
God gave me a list of things that he wanted me to do,
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you.
When you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight,
God and I are close to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those missing years,
Because you are 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 the rain.
I wish I could tell, all that God had planned,
If I were to tell you – you wouldn’t understand.
But one thing is for certain though my life on earth is o’er,
I’m closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead and many hills to climb,
But together we can do it taking it one day at a time.
It was always your philosophy and I would like it too,
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow or in pain,
Then you can say to God at night – my day was not in vain.
So if you meet somebody who’s sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick them up as on your way you go.
