i first met gilbert when i used to go round his, bungalow to help him shower & do house chores. i was a home care assistant.as time went on, and i left my job, to work with mental health, i still popped round to see him. this is how we started, the friendship. gillo (my nickname for him)was loved by everyone who new him. the nurses who used to call to dress his legs adored him.he was a bit of a charmer esspecilly with the ladys.telling his corny jokes, what he made up, or off the penquin wrapper.gilbert was so loving & caring, but dont get me wrong, he had a temper (for instance)if the postman never shut his gate , language id never heard before.(joking)he chunted that much about his gate , i put a sign on it. gillo loved anything to do with wild life, film stars,ex marylin munroe( he adored this women)elvis presley, john wayne ,& many more.he also liked a drink(mixing drinks)said it saved him getting up for another one.gillo also talked alot about his mam, he,d cry when certain songs came on the radio.gilbert became a part of my family as him being an only child,we loved him like he was one of us. he came round for his tea. xmas he forgot were he lived.birthdays we,d take him out to the pub for his dinner, gillo appreacated every thing people done for him.he was like a surricare dad to me. i loved him with all my heart,all my family did.in the last year of his life he started getting flu,s. lots of them. he went off his food, lost a lot of weight,everyone concerned about him.gilbert didnt like hospitals,he was told that he might of got tb back ,a childhood illness that robbed him, of his teenage days.then we were told it was pneomonia,gilbert was realy poorly. id go & see him before i went to work, on my days off.he looked like he was recovering , but i new i was kidding my self , i couldnt face it. i didnt want to face it.....i loved this man,he was my world, then i got the call.my world collapsed.i still talk to him as though, he,s still here.i think of him every day & night,i wear him on a chain around my neck, ive got him here with me,i dont no how im going to part with him , but i no i have to. i love & miss you so much gilbert,(but one thing i am happy for, gilbert is back with his mam)your always in my heart gil,& ive got my memories.love u lots like jellytots xxxxxxxxxx pamxxxxxxxxxxxxx

does it ever get better gil ??????????
theres me thinking about me self. when theres people out there grieving , my best mate has just laid her dad to rest, & now she has just had a call to say they have found her son dead..........
when your life changes for the better, we all have a price to pay, we all had a lucky break before xmas a life changing experiance, but to me it came to late, you wernt here to share it with me.i could of changed your life for the better, like you changed mine xxx
still in the mourning, for you i made a lot of people happy,what did i get back in return? ( grief ) you think your doing good by changing peoples lifes, and you destroy them, bit by bit.the arguements start the greed sets in the jealousy starts (WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE ALL THIS ?) the question i would like to ask? is there a god?( why have we all been put through this.
I LOVE & MISS YOU MORE EACH DAY GILBERT .... XXX
