A drunken afternoon led to disaster for my 49-year-old dad when the caravan he was sleeping in turned into a raging inferno.
He had gone into the caravan at Victoria Road, Slough, to sleep.
On Saturday, June 14 2008 my dads friend seen him at the home of a friend where Dad,And friends were engaged in a drinking competition.
One Of Dads Friends owned a caravan and he had put some wood in the caravan's stove to warm it up ready for someone to sleep in it.
Police were called during the evening because of the raucousness. But it was at 11.30pm that firefighters were called to the scene believing some trees were on fire, where they found the caravan gutted and Dad's body inside.
An investigation by Fire Investigation Officer Sean Keeley revealed the caravan's stove as the probably culprit of the fire, started by a naked flame - possibly the result of a piece of wood falling out of the stove.
The Coroner said Dad had clearly died as the result of an accident, saying: "It seems to me logically it has to be the stove though the mechanics of it I'm afraid are impossible to know.
I Miss You So Much Daddy
Three Years have passed
I’ll never forget the day
Someone rang to tell me
That you’d gone away
The hurt is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don’t utter a sound
Some days the pain is stronger
It makes me sick and weak
I can’t stand this much longer
I just sit here and weep
I’ve shut my private door
And let no one in
Locking myself in a box
They try, but I won’t give in
You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don’t have you
I was your first born
Daddy’s little girl
I took my own path
But was still part of your world
I was not the best
Guilty of neglect
But you know daddy dearest
I had so much respect
I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar
I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope... one day
I will see you again
I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked “how are you?”
There is no need to pretend
We all love and miss you so much, sleep well
and take care of all who went before you
Forever in my heart x
For a father
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.
