Paul Edward Graham (Husband, Son, Dad, Grandad & Uncle) sadly left us 7th December 2003.
For those who have lost loved ones you'll understand that this isn't the easiest thing to create...
Dad passed at midnight on 7th dec 2003. We all knew he was poorly, but for him to go so soon wasn't what we expected. Numerous family members knew about his cancer, that he was diognosed with in June of 2003 but his children didn't. My Dad said he wanted to protect us and that if something was wrong he'd tell us.
The news of my dads illness shocked alot of people, family and friends. He was a gentle person, caring and loved everyone he knew. His favorite drink was vodka and diet coke, he loved golf, that was his passion and hobbie and most of all he absolutely loved Chelsea. From a young age i supported them as dad did and my little brother Kieran follows them too and even now when they play on tv i'll leave it on for him to watch. Sorry...i forgot, only fools and horses, his favorite too.
We all miss you Dad very much...
Julia misses you terribly, she isn't the same without you. There's a huge void in her life now and its you thats missing, doesn't seem fair that you had to go so soon and leave behind your family. Times weren't always easy but you built a new life and Julia and the boys were your future. I'm only sorry you never got to see the boys grow up into young men and do all the things together that you both planned.
Nan and Grandad say it shouldn't have been you, always remember the elders saying you should never bury you own children. They're doing ok though, make it easier when there's photos around to remind them of you and us younger ones keep up the spirit. We speak to nan and grandad all the time and tell them how we're doing. Nan has so many photos up of you and she watches your wedding video often. They both miss you very much and i don't think they'll ever come to terms with you leaving at such a young age.
Auntie Karen & Uncle Tim miss you too, we sit and chat about you as often as we can. Mark and Karla remember you everyday, both found it hard when you left, especially Mark as it was his birthday. He changed his birthday date for almost three years as the day didn't seem right to celebrate.
As for us Dad... Vicky your eldest, she has Mya 4yr now, first and last granchild you saw, she's beautiful like her mum, pain in the arse like me when i was a kid. Josh now 2, starting to walk and talk, doesn't say alot and is very content, opposite to his lively sister.
The boys are growing up to soon. We don't see them enough and when we do they are so much older and mature. There both doing well in school and very charming young men too, just like their dad.
As for me...i'm ok i guess get by without you, miss you everyday, starting to forget your voice, remember your belch and few things you used to say, but i'll never forget the special times and photos keep your memory alive.
You live in all of us and we'd never forget you not in a million years.
Make sure to watch over us all when you get a min, i always think of you as watching over me when good and bad things happen, just don't fade away any time soon cause i'll never be the same, its hard enough without you not being here in person.
I going to say goodnight now and that i'll see you soon, because if a say much more i'll cry and that isn't something you'd want any of us doing....
I love you with all my heart and soul and more Stacie x x x

Your niece and great nephew
Hi uncle paul,
Sorry its been a while.
We finally moved on monday to our new flat, so at least we have our own space.
I have a new man in my life his name is vaughn and he is lovely, he also gets on really well with charlie so thats good.
Mum, dad, mark and kellie have now moved in together, they live just down the round so its not to far for either of us to go if we need anything.
Charlie starts nursery next week, its only for a couple of hours at the moment just to see if he likes it or not. If he does then im going to try and go back to work part-time.
Oh and nearly forgot ive made sure that Charlie is a Chelsea supporter he has his own little kit.
Anyway im going to go now
Lots of Love
Hugd and Kisses always
Love from Karla and Charlie xxxxxxxxxx
I only have one wish
Hello Dad,
My wish is for you to be here! I wish you could see all of us and what we've achieved and done. I can hardly believe that its nearly 5 years since you left. It seems so long ago but gone so quickly. I keep your photo on my bedside with your bear and kiss you from time to time. I have so much i want to tell you and this is the only way. I so badly wish i could just call and talk to you. I can listen to you when i'm on my own, i have yours and Julias wedding video, the first time i listened i found it hard when you spoke and after 4 years of not hearing your voice i nearly forgot what you sounded like. This way i can watch the video and hear your voice when i want. Me and Matt are doing well, both still enjoying our jobs and still loving Australia. Mum and Andrew came over for two weeks just a few days ago. It was so hard saying goodbye but the time i spent with them was so precious. Your never a thought away from my mind and no matter how many times i wish you could be here it won't bring you back. I miss your cuddles so so much! I could really do with a cuddle right now! I hope its true when they say that people look over you cause that way i know you can see everything before anyone else, its some comfort when knowing your not here. If i could have one more day, it'd be just be being with you and to have one more cuddle. I'm sorry i wasn't there when you left. Why did you leave? What made you go? I think this all the time and yet there's still unanswered questions. I can keep asking and do my own head in but i'll never get the answers and never get you back. I hope you are happy wherever you may be. I miss you everyday and i know we all wish you could be here with us. Life isn't always that easy though.
I love you always

Miss you even more
Well i thought i'd give you an update on the latest. Its been a while but i have been on your site to see if you've had any visitors. Me and Matt are now settled in Australia, we are living in Loganholme and both working full time. It didn't take us long to pick up the ozzy way of life and have loved every minute since arriving. James has been to visit for a month and now Matt's parents are over. Mum is coming to visit in about 10 weeks with Andrew, then nan and grandad. We are very lucky, so many ppl coming to see us. Looking forward to Julia and the boys coming, also Mary & Doug have mentioned it. Be nice for ppl to see us settled and well. I don't feel any sadness about leaving england other than family and friends, the weather here is stunning most of the time and you have a bbq almost every wkend. We've made friends with some great ppl and that helps when your so far away from what you know. Lisa & Laura are hoping to come over in April, really excited about that, i can take them to the Goldcoast and i'm sure they'll love it as much as i do. I so badly wish you could come and see how beautiful this place is. We're hoping to visit england in a few yrs, a long time away yet but you'll be one of my first visits. I miss you so much more being here, it feels like i left you behind, and for that i feel awful. I'm sorry x x x
There's never a day that goes by where i don't think about your or hope that when i do come on here that people have lit a candle for you.
I love you dad, love as always Stacie x x x

Arrived safe in Australia
Hello Dad,
Well we arrived safe in Australia after our Singapore stop over. Singapore was beautiful, really colourful and loads to see. We are staying in a nice hotel for a few days then off to a motel for a month before deciding on where we want to live and work. So much going on! Leaving everyone was so hard, don't think its hit me yet because i'm so pre-occuppied. I came to see you at Chelsea to say goodbye. Your plaque is still in the same place and i left you a letter there to read. Julia said shes coming to see you soon so thats something for you to look forward to.
Love you dad
Love as always Stacie x x x
I wish you were there to see
Hello Dad, i know its been a while but i've been planning my wedding to Matt since the last time i was on here. We tied the knot on wednesday 23rd april and it was an amazing day. All the family was there, the boys looked gorgeous in their suits, Kieran a page boy and Jack an usher. Julia looked beautiful in her outfit, the one she wore last year to your golf day. As you know granddad walked me down the aisle and gave me away, you'd of been so proud of him. The only person missing was you, there wasn't a single moment of the whole day where i wasn't thinking of your or your family. I wish'd every moment since Matt asked me to marry him that you could be there but i know you couldn't, i just hope in spirit you saw our perfect day. Julia was so proud and she knew you would be to. Matt will look after me, that i'm certain of that. As special as our day was and the happiest of my life, i still missed you with every heartbeat. Dad i love you so very much, i know its been a long time but the void is still in all our lives and will be forever. We're staying strong together, Julia's hoping to come out to Australia with the boys and maybe Mary & Doug. This wedding has brought us all so much closer together and i couldn't be happier, i just wish you could share all this with us. Watch over us all when you can. I love you always x x x
