The year he died I ordered a special Yellow rose from Fryers Roses (no relation) I ordered it in the August and it said that it would be delivered in time for planting anyway the rose duly arrived on Williams birthday.in November.
When we moved here we brought the bush with us but thinking it may not take as it was from our other garden and sure enough that was april and it bloomed at the appropriate time but stranger still in the november Sam came in and said there is a beautiful rose on Williams bush and sure enough it was around his birthday.
I was looking for a picture of something quite different today and found this lovely photo of him which I thought I had lost and guess what its around his birthday.
The picture shows the lovable boy who loved absoloutely everyone.

A Rose blooms in the garden now which always reminds us of
A handsome boy who shared our life and gave us so much love
A yellow rose for a yellow boy whose birthday is today
Always remembered every day in our special way.
I remember days when you were young, you would always help yourself
To anything within your reach or even on the shelf
Nothing was safe from this joyful Boy
From a table leg or a cuddly toy J
Then when you got old and grey a pleasure to behold
A handsome Gent so kind and soft a great big heart of gold
Then one day the angel came a took you up above
And we were left to grieve for you remembering you with love.
Rest in peace our Gentle lad
thank you for the time we had.
