Philip McGovern born 4th Jan 1957 sadly passed away 26th July 2007, was diagnosed with bowel cancer 16 Jan 2006 , and later after he was operated on it was also discovered in his liver and both lungs, Philip had no sign of any illness prior to this hospital stay when he was taken in with a bowel complaint , we were then told at a later date that there was no cure for the cancer and he had 6 months to live with no chemo up to 2 years with , Phil opted for chemo to get as much time with his family has he could and trying to make very special summer 2006 for Sarah , and for everyone to have as many good memories as possible of him , he was very brave during the 14 months of chemo and never complained during all the jabbing, chemo, scans, and hospital appointments and stays , he accepted his condition fairly quickly unlike me who prayed that a cure would be found but it wasnβt to be , has passed away very quickly at the end but all the people who matter and loved Philip got to say their goodbyes Philip was an only child which makes this all the more harder for his parents as no parent should ever need to bury a child no matter how young or old,
Philip died of terminal cancer after a 18 month fight he was great through his whole illness and never once complained a model patient we kept him at home and nursed him up until the end
with him was his mother father me Leahann Amanda Joe and Ian, although it was expected we didnβt expect it so quickly sadly Chris didnβt make it down in time and Philips wishes were for Sarah not to see him at the end as she was so young it was very peaceful,
Philips visitors in his last couple of days was father john whoβs not just a priest but a good friend to Philips parents, Christopher, Sarah and Catherine ( who has be fab through Philips illness with reki ect) Catherineβs been a tower of strength to me throughout and after too we have great relationship and i admire to how Catherine prepared Sarah for one of the biggest changes in her life Philips aunt Isa Philips cousin Elliot who was very close to Philip growing up the called each other big bro cuz, my sister Janet bro in law Nat and brother john my parents and Siobhan and Shauna(who was grt bringing food over) nieces Laura, Lorna Angela and wee Sinead who Philip adored she was just 9 months old my nephew James, Philips friends brain, James and john, William and wee tam, Annemarie (Christopherβs mum) Sam, James Ronnie who sadly lost his wife to cancer just 3 weeks before who all got a personal goodbye or on the phone
Philip worked as a security guard in Clydebank when we met in 1999 we were very good friends before we started dating a few months later ( with a huge push from our great friend denies she was a wonderful friend to us both and a fab mum to Rebekah and Cameron) Phil and i had 8 wonderful years together, we got married on the 20th October 2006 which was a wonderful day ,during our 8 years together Philip went to Ireland to work for a while in cot 2000 after security and met some great people and i had some fab times there and great memories Chris joined him to work there in 2001 for a bit but Philip came back after a year cause he missed meeeeeeeeee!!!! well his daughter Sarah who was his world Chris followed his dad home a short time later, Philip then worked for back st pine and went on to be warehouse manager there he got Joe his first job where Joe and Phil had a very good relationship this was when Philip became ill xx
He was devoted to his 3 children Christopher aged 30 and Sarah, 13 and the late Maria francs who sadly died at 36 hrs. old born 7th dec 1987 died 8th dec 1987,(RIP sleep tight little one together at last) and a loving step dad to leahann ,23 Amanda 21 and Joe 19 all kids are very close, the step kids thought of Philip as their father, all 5 children miss him dearly , Philip was loved by all who knew him and he lives on in his 2 children xxxxx
Sadly i have to add that my step-son Chris,, Philips only son died suddenly on the 03/01/10, @12.30am, he had the most amazing new year ever with his best friends,, came home from Oban on the 2nd Jan about half 8 went to his mums and phoned her at half 9pm and when his mum came home from work at after 11pm she found Chris asleep on the floor only he wasnβt he had suddenly passed over,, he's with his dad and sister now ,, maybe when i get the strength ill set a page up for him right now itβs too hard ,, he'll be sadly missed by all who knew him and was a much loved son grandson brother to Sarah step-brother and step-son cousin nephew but above a friend to all who loved and knew Chris ....

if i knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute to stop and say 'I love you,'
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day to say 'I love you,'
And certainly there's another chance to say our 'Anything I can do?'
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say 'I'm sorry,' 'Please forgive me,' 'Thank you,' or 'It's okay.'
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today
love your darling wife love you miss you so much xxx
Just Because your you (-_-)
To My Dearest Family:
Some things I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with God above
Where there are no more tears or sadness there is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family they'll be here later on
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan
There's so much that we have to do to help our mortal man.
Then God gave me a list of things He wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you every day and week and year
And when you're sad I'm standing there to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth and all those loving years
Because you're only human they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you well you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now than I ever was before
And to my very many friends trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
But together we can do it taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too
That as you give unto the World so the World will give to you
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
When you are walking down the street
And you've got me on your mind I'm walking in your footsteps Only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze or the wind upon your face
That’s me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free
Remember you're not going you are coming here to me
And I will always love you from that land way up above
Will be in touch again soon. (-_-)
P.S. God sends His Love
