You’re gone now,physicaly but not in spirit. The light and adventure you brought into my life, our lives, will never be forgotten. We met you and stepped onto a train of adventure. We went to london and explored, saw it up high from the London eye, from the streets, within the buildings, we got every perspective. We ‘ventured into national trust museums and heard hundreds of stories, stood in rooms flooding with history, we explored zoos and towns, lived in a cottage with rabbits, played board games and watched tv shows and films, built lego and slept in warm beds. You found adventures for each of us, you found things that we’d all enjoy. We explored cornwall and the little towns, finding shops with my name and full of crystals, found cute cafe’s and drank hot chocolate and saw a million beautiful skies. We never lived a day down, even on windy or rainy days, smiles spread and the adventure stayed. You infected our lives with your love for trains and lived for what you loved. You took a tumble here and there but when you got back up, you smiled and kept going, you went slow but never let it hold you back. You lived a long life and told us your stoires. You will paint beautiful skies and drive vintage trains forever, volunteering at the train station for eternity. In the garage, your trains will remain steady, your tracks clear and houses homely, back inside, your walking sticks remain standing, looking unique and beautiful, The sun will remain bright as days turn into nights and your memory lives on, infecting our homes and holding our hearts. We remember the giggles and laughs when your clothes were on wrong or wonky or when you’d fart or burp thinking noone could hear. Your candle remains bright and burning, your train of adventure pushes full steam ahead. I miss you Alan, thankyou for the unforgetable memories.
