George Albert Higgins was my dad and it may sound a bit off a cliché but he was my hero . he was an extraordinary man who dedicated his life to helping others from working as a dog handler for the police to a fire officer to just be a father off 8 and a devoted husband he loved life my dad and lived it to the full he dedicated his life to giving his wife and kids the best he could and was always there if we ever needed him I know this is said all the time but my dad was a inspiration and a lovely honest proud man who I could only hope to be like ... he loved his dogs German shepherds were his best dog he could sit and talk about them for hours ..and when he was not work looking after his kids he enjoyed his second life as the "Gambler" with his local country and western group he loved the old style shoot outs which he won so many trophies and medals for .. my dad fought all his life to give us kids the best he could and would never shy away from hard work he had pride and determination which is what I think helped him fight off cancer once before as well as countless heart attacks even then he was always off doing jobs that needed doing helping his kids and never complained . but sadly cancer came back for a second time and spread fast although he fought it back for nearly 2 years without chemotherapy with courage and pride and dignity right till the bitter end . my father touched the lives off many and all say what a grate man he was and I am proud and honoured to have a father like mine he maybe out off sight but he is always in my heart and never far from my thoughts rest in peace dad I love and miss you dearly xxxxxx
TO THOSE WE LOVE
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be
Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
It is comforting to know that you hold us so close while struggling with the prospect of letting us go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! We have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that we are safe in God's perfect love. We would like you to take some of the love you have for us and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever. Ours has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there. Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'us' from time to time. That's all right too. All of our needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of us, never think of us as being alone. Think of us smiling, laughing and enjoying all that god has prepared for us.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that we are very proud of you for never giving up.
We love you!
*FROM YOUR LOVED ONES IN HEAVEN*

۞ We Love You Always ۞
We didn't know what Heartache meant
Until the day you were took away
All the tears we've cried
The hurt is here to stay
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
We cry for the loss
Of someone so special as you
In life you were so special
In death your so missed too
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Even though your gone
In our Heart you will remain
In spirit you're still with us
But our lives are not the same

WHAT IS AN ANGEL?
♥~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♥
An angel is beautiful
Sent from high above
An angel protects us
Fills our heart with love
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
An angel is magical
Can wipe away out tears
An angel brings comfort
Will help us through our fears
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
In a room filled with darkness
The angel will bring light
When everything seems to go wrong
An angel can make things right
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
In an hour of sickness
The angel holds our hand
Always right beside us
The angel understands
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
God has sent us an angel
With stardust on her wings
She has blessed us everyday
With so many special things
unknown
♥~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~♥
LOVE AS
ALWAYS

Everyone has their time
But why did yours have to come so soon?
There are so many people in the world
So why did God have to pick you?
They say things like this make you stronger
But how can that be?
I feel so weak inside It all feels like a dream
I didn't get to see you
You passed away too soon
But I feel you watching over me
And someday I'll see you again

Hopefully this will sound like George's amazing love for GOD'S creatures. As another fellow animal lover, I feel as though we were kindred spirits.
Innocent doggie, sitting there
wary-eyed looking at me;
are you lost...,
or could it be someone left you there...
all alone to face this world?
Soon the sun will fade from sight
and day will turn to the darkest night.
You have no water or food to eat;
come I'll take you home with me.
Abandonded doggies need loving care...
perhaps that's why GOD put me here.
