i lost my brother in february this year after a long battle with alcohol oor billy, ma wee
brother died an alcoholic, yes that dirty word that receives no sympathy, reminds me of depression
in the way it can be brushed away " they brought it on theirself, think about your family, give
yourself a shake" until you have walked that persons shoes no stones should be thrown. i can say
growing up in tullibody a wee village in clackmannanshire he had a passion for horses and wanted to
be a jockey he grew to tall and when he turned 16 went down the pit where he worked till il health
forced him back in the home years later. he had married and had three children who he loved
greatly billy also had lost a sister through terminal illness, his mother killed in a road accident
and a young neice brought up more like a sister 18yrs old with an asthma attack. the last ten years
of his life he lived on his own, he was a one woman man and could not form any meaning realasonship
after his marriage broke down gradually over a period of years he spiralled into the world of
depression,lonliness and drink which the family had to witness an suffer his demons,mood swings and
self hatred the last two years of his life were a horrible nightmare we were all living he did try
at times but it was too big for him he had been in hospital over christmas and new year very ill,
we thought that was it, but he got home middle of january, his sons and daughter exwife sisters and
brother we were all there for him. the night we left him alone he had a hemmorige and we found him
dead.my wee brother wasn t an angel he had a good heart and a generous nature who would give his
last. he was witty and funny with great one-liners which stayed with him to the end. he loved elvis
and sentimental music,
was a better cook than alot of women, but most of all he loved his lassie and his boys an the
grandbairns and his wee dog lackie be at peace billy your torment is over so sadly missed your
big sister agnesxxxxx

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am 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 He said, 'I welcome you.'
'It's 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 so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.'
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving 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 some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are 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 always 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 is 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 was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'
So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go and....
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going....
you're coming here to be with me
unknown
Happy Easter Billy

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
You are my distant angel,
Watching over me with care.
I can not help to think,
What would happen if you were still here.
Love lives on in whispered prayers,
Of a happier life for you.
You are my distant angel,
And I will always love you.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I'm afraid to live without you,
Afraid to face my own fears.
You have been my distant angel,
Through all of your last years.
There will never be another,
Who has changed my life like you.
You are my distant angel,
Through everything I do.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
As the days, the weeks, the months go by,
And I sit alone and wonder why.
Why did you leave me,
And where did you go?
Though you are watching over me,
I still feel alone.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
My heart starts to ache,
and my eyes start to cry.
Living without you
has left a hole in my life.
You have been my distant angel,
Through all the thick and thin.
May God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.
Love you always and forever,
cant wait for us to be together.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Love you always and forever,
cant wait for us to be together.

If roses grown in heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in Billy’s arms
and tell him they’re from me.
Tell him that we love and miss him
and when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon his cheek
and hold him for a while.
Remembering him is easy,
we do it every day.
But there’s an aching in our hearts
that will never go away.
31 MARCH 2009 XXXX DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL XXXX
I have only slipped away into the next room,
I am i and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me
in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone;
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely
unbroken continuity.
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should i be out of your mind because i am out of
your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somwhere very near, just arond the corner.
All is well.

I am the wind in your hair, with you everywhere
I am the stars in the sky and the sun up high.
I am the waves in the ocean, with your every emotion
I am the snow on the ground, I am all around.
I am the flowers in the meadow, wherever you go
I am the moon at night, please know I'm alright.
I am the bird's sweet song, I am not gone
I am the blossom on a tree, you'll never forget me.
I am the rain on your face, a rainbow's embrace
I am the leaves on the ground, I'll always be around.
I am the fluffy white clouds, innocent and pure
Look all around you, you'll feel me I'm sure.
I am that warm loving feeling, deep in your heart
My memories live on, we'll never be apart.
I am all around you, in all that you see, hear and do
Just reach right out now, I am always here with you.

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*

A loving gift of Rose's, just one can say it all,
To stand upon time's table, until the petals fall,
To draw the sun of morning, but no more to feel the dew,
On the other side of rose's,
I hurt from losing you
On the other side of rose's with broken dreams and tears,
Not a shadow of despair, to recall, the precious years,
Alive I seen a rose in you, and feel your memory true,
On the other side of rose's,
My life I shared with you
With petals gone to fade away, but leave sweet memories,
A velvet touch straight from the heart,
With love shown for me,
As shadows pass with setting sun,
There will forever be,
On the other side of rose's,
Your loving memory
BY Billy M. Smallwood

They are not dead,
Who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.
They still live in our hearts,
In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.
They still breathe,
In the lingering fragrance,windblown, from their favourite flowers.
They still smile in the moonlight’s silver,
And laugh in the sunlight’s sparking gold.
They still speak in the echoes of the words we’ve heard them say again and again.
They still move,
In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.
They are not dead;
Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.
They are not apart from us, but part of us,
For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity.
