The lass that I write about here passed away a happy little girl. I had only known Julie for 14 days. As I passed her bed twice a day I always said hello to her and her Mum just smiled. Julie stopped me one day and said "will you be my Dad" Holly ****, i though, what does one say to that. As I left that night I had coffee with Julies Mum who told me the story and about her real Dad that could not care less and Julie was going to die. I went back to see Julie then and sais yes "I will be her Dad". The biggest smile and little scream that came as excited kids do. Julie died in my arms.



Julie dear you will never know,
My heart is all but aglow.
To you my sweet little kid,
The day you died I ran and hid.

To miss the sweet little smile,
My heart filled with pride.
You asked to call me Dad,
For you I wish I had.

I never knew I had so many tears,
Trickled down my face, hid my fears.
You maybe only seven,
Looking down on me from heaven.

Your Mum gave me a call,
In he car I sped passed the cars and all.
To your room I raced,
A little girl in PJ’s of Red and Lace.

You looked at me and just knew,
I’d come to be with only you.
I put my cheek onto yours, gave you a kiss,
Your arm came around my neck, it didn’t miss.

That’s when you went away,
Left me here is where I will stay.
You have left a print in my heart,
That my sweet little girl, I will never part,

To know you for that sweet short time,
Is a treasure that is to be all mine.
I will never forget the cheek you had,
When you said Hey, will you be my Dad.

So heart gripping

Thank you for making the little girl as happy as she could be on her last day.

Hey thanks for that. believe the fact that Julie was not my daughter, but a little girl that I fell in love with, by her chalm and outlook. The day that she died I broke all the rules of the road. Defied traffic lights, to get there with about 10 minutes to spare. Julie had a smile on her face when she went and i had tears dribbling down my cheeks. I saw Julie in her cask and they left the smile on her face. As for her real dad...it was a no show
