Andrew Jamieson Beattie from Waterside, Kirkintilloch, Glasgow.
Son of David Beattie and Margaret Beattie (Jamieson) and beloved father to Susan and Andrew.
Wish you were here xx
Wish you were here to see our beautiful baby Emilie, although I'm sure she's not long left you and Dad. I hope you are looking down over us and pleased with all that we are doing. You are one in a million and I think about you all the time. Love you xxx
A gift for Father's Day
If roses grow in heaven lord,
then pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my dad's arms
and tell him they're from me.
Tell him that I love and miss him,
and when he turns to smile,
place a kiss upon his cheek
and hold him for a while
Happy Father's Day dad xxx
2 Years today
This time 2 years ago, Susan, Gemma and me were in your room in Marie Curie spending your last hours on Earth with you.
We are all as sad and heartbroken today as we were that morning. You are always in our hearts and thoughts dad.
I know you will be looking down happy that me and Susan have not lost touch or drifted apart. Susan has been incredibly brave and strong through her tough time. I know you will be proud of her.
Love always,
Andrew, Conor & Andrew xxx
I hope Rangers are doing you proud right now losing all those Old Firm games and getting 3 red cards in one match...theres nothing like it is there!
Well I can at least be happy that my lovely Daddy has come to join you...look after him for me please...that was always one thing you did best...Look after everyone else and forget about yourself.
Two Birthdays have passed.......
Can't believe that two birthdays have passed by already. This verse by Joanna Fuchs illustrates my feelings:
You Are A Gift
Some people give the gift
of peace and tranquility
to every life they touch.
They are always who they really are.
They are blessedly reliable,
dependably good,
predictably pleasant,
loved and treasured
by all who know them.
You are one of those people.
You are a gift
of peace and tranquility
in my life (even now in your physical absence).
I miss you and love you more than words can say xxx
One year ago today
Dad I can't believe a year has passed since you left us. This has been one of the most difficult years of my life. I miss you as much today as I did last year at this time and the hurt remains. I think of you every day and I'm grateful for the fond memories I have to help me through each day. My testimony of the plan of salvation is what really keeps me going and I look forward to being with you again and being able to give you a massive hug and kisses. Love you sooooo much dad and I'm lonely without you :-(
Dad you would be so proud- Kirsten and Josh took part in the school concert. Kirsten played Oboe for the last time with the Aberdeenshire Senior Orchestra as she leaves for uni this year.. I'm sure you were listening from heaven and enjoying every moment. You always loved listening to them all playing their instuments. They will always remember how you encouraged and supported them in all they did. Miss you lots but have lots of fond memories.
Missing you
Grandad, life is not the same without you. I miss your silly jokes and your smiling face. The children miss you too and Rebekah just told me that she loves you (while looking at your photos.) I told them that you are living in heaven now and Jacob asked "how do we get there in the car?" I wish it was as easy as that, but its not. I just want you to know that I think about you all the time, you are never forgotten. Much love, Gemma xx

Whatever your age as an elder or youth
Your moment of death is your moment of truth
The rest of us struggle to figure it out
Searching for answers to vanquish the doubt
Life can be challenging; sometimes it seems
God tests us and pulls us away from our dreams
We bargain with God and to Jesus we pray
Hoping his message will show us the way
When life as we know it is no longer led
Conventional wisdom says Cry for the dead!
We pray for an Angel to show us her face
Oh, help us make sense of this difficult place
And gently she floats down from heaven to be
So close with us here on earth by the sea
Grieving with us like a family as one
Her work of compassion is never quite done
Sweet Angel kneels down here to take a short rest
In prayer for everyone’s highest and best
She crosses her arms as she bows down her head
Apparently weeping in grief for the dead
But this moment of truth reveals eternal life
There’s no death in spirit; there’s no pain or strife
God’s love awaits us in heavenly light
Where all of us go when the timing is right
Sitting beside her in sadness and cold
And guided by spirits of ancestors old
I asked Weeping Angel, Oh why do you cry?
Then waited in silence, a tear in my eye
My journey of faith, an awakening time
My personal search for the truth told in rhyme
Conventional wisdom is wrong Angel said
I weep for the living not for the dead
It's Not Getting Any Easier!
Dad,
The hurt hasn't gone, the pain remains.
Life seems so much more of a struggle these days.
Love you and miss you so much.
Andrew xx
