Thomas McEwan was born in Holytown in 1928 and lived there until he got married in 1952 to Agnes
Lauchlan, later moving to Calderbank where he spent the rest of his life. He was a steelworker until
he had to retire due to ill-health. He had 6 children with Agnes, 5 Daughters, Betty, Anne, Nancy,
Margo and Alison and one Son, Tom. He also had 14 Grandsons and 3 Granddaughters, and sadly it was
only after he died that his 3 Great Grandchildren were born. Tom liked a bet on the horses, watching
football and also liked to potter about in his garden. He was the best Daddy in the world and the
best Pappy to my two sons Ross and Jason.
I Will Always Love and Miss him.
FOREVER IN OUR THOUGHTS
Alison, Tommy, Ross, Jason and Emma the Westie.
You would be so proud of Ross and Jason Daddy. They have passed all of their exams!

Sweet Dreams Thomas
You may not be able to see me,
Though you think that I am gone.
Inside your heart you carry me,
So I live on, I live on.
I know you feel an emptiness,
Of words we left unsaid.
Release your pain, forgive yourself,
For I already did.
The love you gave, I took with me,
And left my love for you.
So now I know some time has passed,
Here is what I ask of you.
Share my life and remember me,
To those you love – out loud.
And I will become part of them,
For that would make me proud.
Those little quirks, the quips I said,
Please share those memories.
For there is no plaque or stone,
That would better honor me.
I loved you then, and love you still,
And will forevermore.
So take my love and pass it down,
That’s what my legacy is for.
Give my memories, my love as gifts,
And do not mourn that I have gone.
Just place my love in your Heart always
And you will know that I live on.
Love always Fran

As time goes by I won't forget,
That you were my beloved pet.
You made me happy when I was sad
And just for that I'm very glad.
God took you to his home in the sky.
I miss you son but please don't cry.
Although my heart is broken in two,
One day I'll come and be with you.
I don't know when, but when I do,
I will come and cuddle you.
I think about you everyday.
My heart will never feel the same way.
Until we meet again some day,
Together forever and never apart,
You'll be forever in my heart.
Always thinking of you, never forgotten,
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.
How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.
A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.
Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more

If I could wish upon a star
I would wish for you back here
I know you're happy where you are
But I miss you and want you near
✿
Although I see you everyday
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I miss you more than words can say
It just gets worse, it seems
I try to be strong for others around
But all I want to do is cry
I just sit for hours by myself
And ask the question 'Why'?
✿
It's the strongest pain I've ever felt
I don't think I could describe it
Although I try, I do my best
I don't think that I can hide it
My life will never be the same
That's why it's hard to bear
Because since the day you left us
I think that life's not fair
✿
Some things seem not to matter now
Even things that mattered before
You have no idea what I would give
To make this pain less sore
✿
People say we'll meet again
And yes I know that's true
But I wish it didn't have to be this way
Because you know how much I miss you
✿
I love you with all my heart and soul
And there's one thing you need to know
There's not one person in the human race
That could ever take your place...

Love You Daddy. xxxxxx

SENT WITH LOVE
I believe in Angels.
I wish it wasn't true.
We didn't want an angel.
We only wanted you.
You've left behind our broken hearts.
Our thoughts and photos too.
We didn't want a memory.
We only wanted you.
Missing you Daddy

FOR MY DAD
A LETTER TO DADDY
I've written a letter to Daddy
And I've filled it with all my love
And I kissed it a thousand times
And posted it to heaven above
I told him how much I missed him
And that at home I'm doing fine
I've written a letter to Daddy
As there's no Daddy quite like mine
Instead of a stamp it's my picture
To remind him that I'm still there
And I signed it from all your family
To show him that we still care
The angels came for my letter
The ones that took you away
And as I handed them my letter
They smiled and said Daddy's ok
I am proud I wrote that letter
And sent it to heaven above
As last night while I was sleeping
Daddy sent me a beautiful white dove
Miss You Daddy
Alison
♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

♥Love Lives On♥

♥Those we love
are never really lost to us -
we feel them
in so many special ways-
through friends
they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on♥
LOVE AS
ALWAYS

A MILLION WORDS WON'T BRING YOU BACK
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE TRIED
NEITHER WILL A MILLION TEARS
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE CRIED
ALL MY LOVE FOREVER

DADDY
THE MOMENT THAT YOU DIED
The moment that you died, my heart split in two.
One side filled with memories, the other died with you.
I often lay awake at night, when the world is fast asleep.
And take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday.
But missing you is heartache that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you, but will never be the same.
Missing you Daddy.
All My Love
Alison
