Alan Ibbotson, passed away 5th September 2008, Much loved and cherished husband to Barbara, much loved and adored dad to Yvonne, Craig and the late Ian, Grandad and best friend to Jamie, Chloe, Sam and Courteney. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
Dad, I'm not really sure what to say if I'm honest, so I'll speak from my heart. I know you love us all, but you needed to go to our Ian, you never got over losing him, and as a mother myself I understand that to some extent. But what about our Craig and me, and all your grandchildren, and especially my mam. She misses you so much. I know you held on long enough to see us before you felt you couldn't go on any longer, and I thank you so much for that.
I will always remember the stories you told me when I was a small girl sat on your knee playing with the board in the collar of your shirts, sucking my thumb, and I'll pass them stories on to my boys. You was always my hero! I remember going to the training sessions with your football lads, gosh, those were the good old days dad. I know your not in any pain now and you'll be with our Ian, so love you both and please wait for us.
Your one and only

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR KIDS
You've always given us so many reasons to say thank you
When we was small, you were there to hold on to
As we grew up you encouraged and supported us,
And always, you showed your love...
That's why we want to say thank you for being there and thank you for being such a wonderful Dad.

hey Dad! I miss you still. I'm sure you see how much I do and how well my job is going now. I'm sure you'd be proud of me. I just wish you were still here so we could have our talks. Mam's doing fine, Craig's still working way too hard. Jamie's just not the same since you left. Sam just sits on the xbox all the time lol. Love you always your one and only xx
Hiya Dad
I miss you with each and every passing day. I really needed to speak to you the other day, but yr not here...... I love you; please take Damion under yr wing and look after him for Debbie and Simon, he's only a baby. Love you always yr 1 & only xxxx
Missing you still
Dad, I'm sure you can see me everyday. I'm sure you can tell how much I miss you, but I thought I was getting there, and for some reason I'm really struggling this week. I can't believe you've been gone for 2 years, its still so raw where does the time go. I still feel as though my hearts been ripped from my chest, I miss both you and our Ian terribly, I feel like I've had all my family taken away from us.
Jamie is doing ok he's got a fantastic sense of humour. Sam has just started high school he's doing really well. Chloe has just started college for hair and beauty, been speaking to her tonight, she seems to be really enjoying it. Courteney is still going to school, and our Craig is still working really hard as per, hopefully he will be able to move into his new house soon. He took some really good photo's of our Courteney on holiday this year. I think they should get her into modelling for catalogues or something. I think all I need is a cuddle and I'll be fine then. Mam has Brenda to keep her company now, so its a case of catch me in if you can hahaha. I still see you every night when I close my eyes, of you taking your last breath and it kills me everynight. I never thought that you'd leave me Dad. But your still my hero.
Miss and love you
Your 1 and only xxxx

Hi Dad
I had mam back to the doctors today, he seems to think she may be heading for pneumonia. Please help me to look after her, she misses you so much. I'm doing my best, but with work and everything else I've got going on at the moment its not always that easy. But I'll keep an eye on her and get her back to the doctor if she seems any worse. I won't make the same mistakes I made with you. I'm so sorry, I never realised that it was pneumonia,but by the same means, neither did the medical profession. But I've got mam under a different GP now and he's fantastic with her. Hope you and r kid are behaving yourselves. R little Gwen is still in hospital with pneumonia, it frightened me to see her in the mask that you had on. But she's seems to be getting better which is good news.
Love you always and foreva.

Hiya Dad,
Sorry it's been so long since I came on to see you, but it doesn't mean that i've not been thinking about you, because I think about you everyday and miss you more and more as the days go on. I've not been very well either, my boys are doing very well Jez is doing great as well. Just wish you was here to see how well we're all doing really, we don't have anyone else to share it with. But I know that you'll be able to see I sometimes feel that I can feel your presence and your smell and it feels so comforting. And I'm sure it's you that keeps switching my kettle on when I'm on my own, but then I remember that you never had the kettle off did you hehehe.
I love and miss you terribly dad.

Hiya Dad
Well thats my first birthday without you, but I know you was with me because the sun was shining, which is something that never ever happens in England on my birthday, so I thank you for that. I missed terrible, but I hope I didn't show it too much. I can't believe you've been gone nearly a year now, and it still seems like yesteday some days. Work is pants, but I'm sure you know that, but I'll get through it. Wish you was here to see how well our Craig has done with your back garden its looking absolutely gorgeous its fantastic, your flowers have bloomed now as well. I weeped a little bit the other day when I was looking at it remembering you. Mam and everyone misses you terribly, hope our Ian is behaving himself for a change for you. Anyway, I thought I'd just pop by to see you, my heart feels as though its still broken into a million pieces without you here, I feel lost and alone most of the time.
Love you always and forever
your one and only xxxxxxxxxx
Hiya dad
I wanted so much to come home and tell you about my job the other day and to share my good news with you, but you wasn't there. It broke my heart. Your not just my hero your my best friend and confident and i miss you so much dad. I think its only now just starting to sink in and i'm soooo lost without you. I've just been to see r Ian and wish him a happy birthday, but its so not the same anymore, i feel lost and alone I feel like I've had my guts ripped out yet again. Why did you leave me?
I'm looking after mam and everything and everyone the best I can, but I really miss you.
Love you always
Your one and only

Happy Fathers Day
Hi Dad
Well this has been our first fathers day without you, and I think I managed pretty well, but people keep telling me that I've got OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) because you know me, when I'm upset or stressed I cleaned, but I certainly don't think that makes me OCD! lol. I miss you terribly dad. I've just had my sunday dinner wi mam, that made a change instead of her been on her own. R kid and Jez have taken the kids to see Transformers at the pictures. They still talk about when they took you and you was sat waiting for the ice-cream lady in the interval. god bless yr heart. lol. It was funny tho. Your still my hero. I love you and miss you.
oh my goodness I nearly forgot to tell you, have you seen the seeds germinating that sam and jez just threw into a pot in the garden. Thank you, they was yours, so Sam now thinks that his granddad has made his flowers grow. I love you.
Your one and only xxx
