My dad, Stuart Brock, first found out he had cancer just before Christmas 2007, luckily his operation removed the cancer at that time. however the cancer returned to his brain and his lungs and he was told in January 2009 he had 18 months to live, but passed away on the 17th may 2009.
My dad was such a great dad to me and Ian and hopefully his other son, my twin brother Alex, will be looking after him now.
My mum met my dad when she was 19 years of age and have been together ever since.They got married on June 7th 1986 at St Joseph's in Brighouse.
He started working on a farm when he was 14 years old, and then went to Holy Trinity High School where he was head boy : ) and then left school to work at the job centre, and that is where he stayed till he passed away.
we all have happy memories of my dad.. there are so many funny incidents that have happened.. such as going up to his mum and dads in scotland and gettin a plate full of brusell sprouts, to which me and ian HATE WITH A PASSION.. so my dad quickly ate ours whilst his mum turned her back, but when she turned around she thought she had forgotten to give us some so gave us more..
I have chosen to put Eric Clapton- "Tears in Heaven" - as the music, because my dad chose this to be played at his funeral when he was been carried down to the front of the church..xx

hey dad im not doing my gym instructor course anymore.. i decided to focus on uni and then in summer next year i will do it then so its worked out all ok really..
anyway im back at uni now.. i actually did a full day today! its good to be back!.. just in the middle of sorting my new york trip out.. i jus wish i could talk to u about it dad, i wish i could show u pics n everything.. i still cant get to grips with stuff, like everything that happens i jus think oh al let my dad sort it!.. every traffic light i stop at, i search around trying to find u.. even in my spinning classes i pay more attention to trying to find u.. i seriously need u back dad..its so true, u dun realise what u have till its gone.. i took u for granted, expecting u to be around forever, how wrong was i!.. there are loadsa pics in my new room of u, n everytime i walk past i jus wish it cud be that time the pic was actually taken! i hate it when ppl say.. "i totally understnad what ur going through" when they bloody dont.. they get upset when a pair of shoes they wanted wernt in the shop or whatever.. they know f**k all! its so not fair, cos what the hell did u or any of the family do to deserve this? nothing! remember when u used to go round the roundabout like 5 times and all my friends used to laugh, u are such a good person dad..and i always hoped u and Alex would be sat up on the clouds gettin tea and coffee brought to u frm god lol (thats how much mum fed wi me bull lol) but the fact u havent shown and sign actually makes me believe u have actually gone..but no matter how long it will take, i will keep looking for u..
i love u sooooooo much, i miss u even more.. keep safe wherever u r.. if you are with Alex give him a massive hug and kiss that i never got chance to do.. and look after yourself dad.. xxxxxxxxxx
hey dad
i bought a shoe rack off ebay the other day for the back of my door.. i know now i sort of took u for granted in that way cos i used to always rely on u sortin measurements etc out..so i got my measure tape out n measured the width n height n that so hopefully ive got it right!! thats one step to gettin my room ok.. mum thinks its cos im untidy but it isnt its jus the fact i havent got enough storage space so im trying to work with what ive got.. michael is coming down soon to put another rail up in my wardrobe do u no like u did at home? ive rang the estate agents and they dont want me puttin shelves up so im trying to find like a bookshelf.. but i think i will go to ikea for that cos hopefully they will be cheap!.. then fit that into my room once ive moved things around.. i have lots of pictures up of u in my room! the one of me and u on my prom day.. but i thought u deserved to be in a photo frame for that! and not jus stuck on my wall haha.. ive been tryin to put photo frames up with blue tac but theyve all fallen down so hopefully michael will put them up properly now i know i can actually screw them in.. or i might try! not sure how that would happen though.. going to try find a gym down here.. but none of them have car parks so i dont want to get on a bus with all the students with my hair scraped back and stuff! im glad i took photos now so u no what my house is like.. jus wish u had seen inside really! not sure if u would have been impressed! electrician came in today to sort the lightings out so we are gettin there xx

hey dad
god people always told me.. it gets better as time goes on .. what a load of s**t that is! as time goes on, it gets even worse.. at first i was in shock.. then i went thru the stage of thinking u had gone on a work trip for a while.. now its just horrible..
i even said to michael this morning, oh i need to go home and cook my mum and dad tea..
everytime im in a spinning class i think of when me n u used to go for runs, and u used to say, "to the next lampost joanna".. and then when im in the gym, i always remember the days when i hated going on my own so i would drag you and you would always come on everything i wanted..
and then on sunday when i was workin at the gym, i was doing a wordsearch in my closer magazine, and i ALWAYS remember you taught me how to do wordsearches! we was sat on an aeroplane, me in the aisle seat and you in the middle and you told me to go along all the lines till i got to a letter and follow it to see if that was the word!..
you taught me so much, i was telling this guy at the gym who used to own the Tube in halifax, about how you taught me a lot.. how me and you always worked. and how i havent been out of work since i was 14 etc..and he said he was proud of me etc..
doing my head in a bit recently, i will talk to custoemrs in the gym, and one guy said this word to me the other day, and i said what does that mean? and he said, when ya get home ask your mum n dad what it means, they will tell u.. so i just say yeh! but truth is i cant just come home and ask you can i.. i have to talk to u on this thing!.. then darren (terrys son) and his friend matt was in and i was talking to them.. and they was saying how nice i am, and fun to be around..then matt said god i bet your mum and dad are so proud of u.. ask them when u get home.. and i know u are proud of me.. but why cant i just come and ask you?.. it gets me so angry, how u get all this d**kheads on jeremy kyle who make babies, and think its some chore to go see their kids.. so why cant them idiots swop places with you.. you come back and they go to wherever you are now. cos u never once made out it was a chore to see me n ian.. u did absoloutly everything you could for us..
im a bit down as well. cos siince you have gone, i just snap at everyone. i dont feel as close to mum anymore which is sad.. cos i jus snap at her all the time.. just shows how close we all are!.. i even had a go at her the other day for cooking too much, it never mattered b4 cos u n ian ate it all up but it matters now.. cos ur not here to eat it, and ians appetite has gone!..
i started my gym course yesterday dad, all the 'know it alls' was doing my head in.. we had to do a quiz n they jus wrote answers down so there was no point been in the team! but gareth the tutor asked if i was ok cos i seemed off, and i told him they were pi**in me off and not giving me chance etc.. so he was saying how theyve jus come out of college doin it..
but hopefully i will get there..im tryin my hardest.. i moved into mancheter 2 weeks ago, and the only image i had, was u carrying all my bags up all 4 floors at daisy bank.. im only 19, i need all these experiences with my dad.. yes i have my memories but how come i cant share anything with you anymore?.. where are you going to be on my first days work, my graduation..
