John Kirk, was our Father, even though he died way back in 1970, I carry him close to my heart. He was the Father of 8 girls and no sons.
We loved him dearly. He served in the war, and as an ex-service man he was an electrian. Until he took very ill and Father became a cripple.
With 8 girls in the family, he needed to keep our Spirits up, so father was full of fun! known as Jackie Kirk, by all his friends, neighbours and family.
He could do anything! The neighbours used to bring things they needed fixing to him and he fixed them. He was a good respectable God fearing man, whom taught his children well.
I have opened this site for him, in rememberance of him. I am his youngest daughter, and even though our family chain has been broken several times, link by link it is joining again in Heaven.
Out of his 8 daughters, there remain only 3 left. But I believe that they are all together in our Heavenly Father's Kingdom, along with little grandson's our Father had.
I needed to tell my Father "That I loved Him", he needs to know, and I know that He and Mother are watching down on the rest of us.
I love you Daddy xxx
Happy Birthday Daddy
Been thinking of you a lot lately daddy, I know its your Birthday today, and I'm hoping that the family is all together up there.
I needed to come on here to tell you how much I love you and still miss you after all this time.
Daddy, have a great time at your Birthday party, for I'm sure if Jacqueline, Jean have their way there will be a party for you.
Till this day I still remember the last party you had for your 60th Birthday. I was only a child but I remember that Birthday. We held it in Jean's place.
I felt weepie at the time, but that was because I knew how ill you had become daddy, and it was sad.
Love you Big Time daddy xxx
Daddy
Happy Father's Day to you.
We could not have been given a better Father then you daddy. We loved you.
Our family started breaking up when you left us daddy.
I guess you'll be in the stables up there looking after your horses. Can't wait until you'll show me all these lovely horses you owned and talked about.
You'll probably be visiting the dog house too daddy to see our Whiskey!
I love you daddy, and I'm grateful that I got the chance to speak in Church last Father's Day, because it gave me the opportunity to tell you that I loved you.
Thinking of you Daddy, have a great time with uncle Ned, Sammy. Love you your little daughter Jennifer xxx
Remberance Day Daddy
Hi Daddy,
Tomorrow is your memory daddy, when you left us 39 years ago. Even though you suffered from a long time illness, it still came as a shock! It was always one of those things "Not My Daddy" this won't happen to my daddy, someone else's daddy, but not mine.
I had a dream about you once, In my dream I saw you sitting in your rocking chair in the bedroom. When I saw you there I asked you if Mummy knew that you were here. You told me "she knows alright" then excitedly I was running to get you anything you needed, cup of tea, whatever. But you didn't need anything.
Then you told me, that you had come back to put things right. The next thing I knew, we were walking down by the ABC picture house towards the centre of Belfast. Where we were going I do not know, but I was a little girl again, walking in the middle of you and Mummy, holding both your hands. I awoke after that.
When I told Mummy next day about the dream, she got me to recite it all over again to Georgie.
Georgie, told me it was not a dream, that I had actually seen you sitting in your rocking chair in the bedroom. I told her No "it was a dream!" But Georgie still maintained that you had appeared to me.
Whatever it was, it was a good feeling daddy.
Now as the years have woven a tapestry of many threads over our memories, I sit and wonder daddy, did you achive what it was you came back to do? Did you manage to "put things right"? I ponder this question as I contemplate every thing our family has gone through. When I reviewed that, I thought that maybe it wasn't "to put things right" but to "prepare us" for what the future would hold. We were totally unprepared for that daddy.
When the weather begins to get a little milder, I will get out and visit your grave daddy. But I want you to know that time has not erased your memoory from us. We still love you and thank you for everything you did, especially for keeping this family together.
Now daddy, take Mummy in your arms, and cuddle her for me, and take all my sisters in a circle of Love, and tell them how much they were loved, and still are down here.
Need to go here daddy, when you say your prayers, remember me. I love you daddy.

Rememberance Sunday
Hi Daddy,
Today I thought more of our Margie today as she left us on Rememberance Sunday. But I thought about you too daddy. It all seems so long ago now, but how you where loved and missed. Mummy missed you more then any of us can ever imagine.
Things are so different now, we are all getting older, but I treasure the moments we spent together.
I am so proud of my upbringing, I was surprised to learn exactly how much of the gospel you and Mummy were really actually living. Thank you for bringing us up in the Best, it will always be remembered.
I love you daddy, watch over me. xxx
Happy Birthday Daddy
Happy Birthday Daddy,
Keep an eye on little Curtis for me up there.
I'm missing him so bad right now.
Hope you all have a wonderful time at your Birthday party.
Its sad they took Curtis away from me the day before your Birthday. I love him so Daddy.
Tell Mummy how much I love her. She would have loved it here. Jamie reminds me so much of you, but they won't let me see him now.
Guess you're finding it hard with the party celebrations keeping all the others under control,
you have so much fun up there Daddy.
Until next time.
I love you always
Your little daughter Jennifer

Love you loads daddy, never let go

Father\'s Day
Hi Daddy,
did you have a nice time up there on Father's day.
I had to speak in church that day daddy, which is why you are only hearing from me now.
I mentioned you in my talk daddy, I hope you heard it, because I said how much I loved you.
Love you always daddy
Good-night
love your little daughter Jennifer xxx
Daddy!
Daddy,
How I missed you so. They tell me that I will see you all again in a blink of an eye, but its not very comforting.
I need your help down here daddy.
Oh! if only we could just go back to the Dee. I've been there a few times daddy, just passing by down memory lane.
I sat on the pier oblivious to the people around me, as my thoughts carried me back to David and I waking along the pier. He was so inquisitive back then, how he has changed daddy. Watch over them all for me.
Love you as always
your little daughter

Hi Daddy
Hi Daddy,
I've been travelling down memory lane again. Jacqueline is probably telling you to tell me off right now and bring me back to the present. Nothing much is happening in the present, the summer is here and it is great-but I'm feeling poorly. Went to granny's grave a few weeks ago, that's the first time I was there since you last brought me. It was so up setting as they never even put granny's name on the head stone. Daddy will you tell your Father that I need a bit of help down here with his records. He seems to have disappeared of the face of this earth, erased from time. Need to find that record daddy. I found my grandma, and her mother, can you believe that? I bet mummy is thrilled.
Wish I had more of an interest when I was younger. If only I knew then what I know now.
I am so grateful to you daddy for telling me the family histories that you did tell me. I just wish that I had more interest back then.
I really must go now daddy but I'll be back to talk with you again sometime, I love you daddy, I'm so greatful to be able to say that to you now. Tell mummy I love her too!
Bye for now xxxx
