Gordon was 19 when he was sadly taken away from us. Gordon lost his life in Iraq on the 28th June 2004. He was killed when a road side bomb hit his vehicle.
Gordon joined the Royal Highland Fusiliers and loved being in the army he had his passing out in May and was sent to Iraq a week later. Watching him passing out was great, I was so prouid of him.
Gordon was such a fun loving person he loved having a laugh and joke with people, he loved playing jokes oh his sisters Pamela and Maxine.
Gordon meant the world to us its not the same without him I miss having a laugh with him. Or him asking me to iron his clothes what I would do to have those days back again. Gordon loved his family and friends.
He was always willing to help someone .
We know gordon died doing a job he loved but that dosent make you feel better; I just wish he was here
⋱♰⋰ The Days That Follow ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ How can the birds sing and the sun still shine?
Do they not know the huge loss of mine? ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ The winds are all calm with a gentle breeze
My heart is aching with no sign of ease. ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ The day is new and the sky is all clear.
Memories of my loved one are still very near. ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Today’s forecast, there is no chance of rain
Someone please tell that to my soul in pain. ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ On days such as this we would laugh and snuggle.
A beautiful day without you seems like a struggle. ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Time keeps coming through the day and the night.
Hours upon hours, I miss you with all of my might. ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ The flowers are in bloom and the grass fresh with dew
How can this be enjoyed with me missing you? ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Tomorrow is another day with promise and light
To get through the present is my biggest fight. ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I am promised to meet you again so they say.
Until that time, Lord help me through this day. ⋱♰⋰
missing you like mad

☆ If every tear we shed for you, became a star up above.☆ You'd stroll in Heavens garden lit with everlasting love ☆ If only we could turn back time, Life once again would be so fine. ☆ Time would pass, you'd still be here, To have, to hold, to love so dear.☆

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear....
He said:"Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.

MY POEM FOR THE FALLEN. As I sit here alone I wonder why you fought and died for me for I have done nothing to make you proud of me. You fought to give us freedom so that we could all live free You fought,you died, you have been denied the love I have for thee.
Gordon I seen this and thought of u immediately xx
I miss you so much xxx
Love Angela

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Each donned their uniform to be
Defenders of our liberty
Their mission sure, their spirits bright
Guard freedom's home, be brave to fight
One final day each faced their call
Each gave their best enduring all
We'll never know what they went through
But know they loved this country true
Deep down inside we should all feel
What heroes gave, their cost so real
We must stay thankful, grateful of
The gift of freedom through their love
Their loved ones bore the gravest pain
What we can't know, some now sustain
To God I pray their pain will cease
And each will find long-lasting peace
Remember this from year to year
What heroes gave " shan't disappear
We'll never let their special day
Their time for honor slip away
These brave fought for a nation free
If not for them, where would we be?
love to you gordon
(◡‿◡✿)
When we are in need of comfort
We walk down memory lane,
There we see you smiling
We talk with you again,
And as we wander slowly back
We seem to hear you say
Don't grieve. don't cry, my family,
We'll meet again some day.
(◡‿◡✿)
love always and forever diane and fred xxx
