ANDREW SMITH KNOWN AS DREW, DIED 10TH APRIL 2007. ANDREW WAS 46 WHEN HE DIED.
ANDREW HAS LIVED IN TENERIFE FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS RUNNING HIS BAR CALLED SMITHYS IN LAS AMERICAS.
ANDREW FOUND OUT HE HAD LUNG CANCER IN MARCH 2006, HE HAD CHEMO AND RADIOTHERAPY OUT IN TENERIFE AND
THE TUMOUR SHRUNK, WE WERE DELIGHTED.IN NOVEMBER 2006 WE GOT A CALL TELLING US THAT DREW WAS IN
INTENSIVE CARE IN A TENERIFE HOSPITAL. MAM AND I GOT THE 1ST FLIGHT OUT THERE TO SEE HIM,
ANDREW WAS MY ONLY BROTHER AND IT WAS SUCH A SHOCK TO SEE HIM SO ILL IN THAT HOSPITAL BED IN
TENERIFE. WE WERE GIVEN THE DREADFULL NEWS THAT IT HAD SPREAD TO HIS PANCREAS AND HE WAS GIVEN A
MAXIMUM 3 MONTHS TO LIVE. MAM AND I FOUGHT TO BRING HIM BACK TO ENGLAND, WHICH WE DID, WE BROUGHT
HIM HOME ON 10TH NOVEMBER WITH A NURSE TO ADMINISTER MORPHINE ON THE FLIGHT.
DREW SPENT HALF OF HIS TIME AT MAMS AND HALF OF HIS TIME WITH ME, WE HAD A WONDERFUL 5 MONTHS
TOGETHER, DRINKING, TALKING LAUGHING, AND AT TIMES CRYING, WE CHOSE NOT TO TELL DREW ABOUT HIS
ILLNESS, AS HE WAS DETERMINED HE WAS GOING BACK TO TENERIFE AFTER XMAS WHEN HE WAS A BIT STRONGER,
EVEN THOUGH MAM AND I HAD TO CLEAR HIS APPARTMENT DURING THAT DREADFULL WEEK THAT WE WERE THERE,
LOOKING BACK NOW, I DONT KNOW HOW WE GOT THROUGH THAT WEEK.
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, DREW AND I FOUGHT LIKE CAT AND DOG, MANY A TIME I COULD HAVE KILLED HIM, BUT....
AS WE GOT OLDER AND CLOSER, I WOULD HAVE KILLED ANYONE WHO HURT HIM.
HE HAD A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOUR,WAS VERY SACRCASTIC AND THE BEST BROTHER ANYONE COULD HAVE, HE
WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO USE A PC AND ORDER THINGS FROM THE INTERNET FOR THE NEW BUSINESS HE WANTED TO
SET UP WHEN HE GOT BACK TO HIS BELOVED TENERIFE, SO HUSEYIN AND I SPENT HOURS ON THE PC WITH HIM,
DREW WAS DELIGHTED, WE WERE HEARTBROKEN SEEING HIM SO EXCITED BUT KNOWING HIS PLANS WOULD COME TO
NOTHING.
ANDREW LIVED FOR 5 MONTHS, HE MADE IT TO MOTHERS DAY, BUT THEN HE STARTED TO GO DOWNHILL, THE LAST 3
WEEKS OF HIS LIFE WERE SOOO SAD, BUT AGAIN, DURING THAT TIME HE MADE US ALL LAUGH SO MUCH,
THAT WAS DREW, A BLOODY GOOD LAUGH. IF DREW WAS IN YOUR COMPANY YOU COULD GUARANTEE A GOOD NIGHT.
GOD I LOVED HIM SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
DREW DIED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MUM. I HAD SAT UP ALL NIGHT WITH HIM, HIS BREATHING STARTED TO CHANGE,
SO I WOKE MAM UP JUST AFTER 2 AM, AS SHE SAT BESIDE HIM AND TOOK HIM IN HER ARMS, HE LOOKED AT HER,
SMILED, AND DIED AT 2:15 am, HE WENT SO PEACEFULLY, I WAS GLAD OF THAT, HUSEYIN AND I WERE WITH HIM
AND WE WERE SO PRIVELIDGED TO SEE HIM ON HIS WAY TO A BETTER LIFE, PAIN FREE AT LAST. MISSING DREW
SOO MUCH DREW, WISH I COULD JUST HAVE ONE MORE HUG FROM YOU, AND ONE MORE SMILE.
SO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO KNEW DREW, AND EVEN THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDNT BUT TOOK TIME TO VISIT THIS
SITE, PLEASE LEAVE A LITTLE MESSAGE ON HERE FOR MAM AND I, IT WILL HELP TO EASE OUR PAIN A BIT I
HOPE.
MISSING YOU SO MUCH DREW, YOU WERE A FANTASTIC BROTHER AND IT WAS WONDERFULL TO GROW SO CLOSE TO YOU
OVER THE LAST 5 MONTHS.
you really are.............SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!!!!!

If u love me as a friend u'll read the whole thing. What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness? What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. dont ever leave the one u love for the one u like, because the one u like will leave u for the one they love.
If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

WITH LOVE FROM TINA ALWAYS
GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN AND FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON THE EARTH AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST
GODS GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFULL
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
HE SAW THE ROAD AHEAD WAS ROUGH
AND THE HILLS WOULD BE HARD TO CLIMB
SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS AND WHISPERED
"PEACE BE THINE "
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU
BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE
FOR PART OF ME WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JUST TO SAY YOUR IN MY THOUGHTS .. LOVE HUGS KISSES FROM TINA ALWAYS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

my wonderful brother
Andrew, hurting so much tonight, i have been so emotional, sat and cried through X fACTOR. siitng here now watching X TREME MAKEOVER and crying my eyes out, i know its pathetic bit i know if you were here we would have a sly look at each other and we would both be blubbering away like idiots, you had such a soft heart Andrew, and were touched so easily by others, God it hurts so much tonight, WHY???????? i hope you are ok and relaxed and happy, wish i was but i miss you so much, dont know what to say, dont know what to do, Tarik is back from Tenerife, said the place was awful, but you already knew that, I asked him if he found yr place, but he had walked in the wrong direction and ended up in los christianos, typical. or was it just meant to be. god i wish u were here, and i could give you a hug, but thats just me being selfish, i am sure u r much better odd where you are. Mam is doing well after her op. slowly slowly. we have booked our flights for capetown and really looking forward to that, just wish u were coming with us, please be there, just for a couple of days if you can fit it in. remember zimbabwe when dad was scared by the rhino outside the hut on our safari, and the monkeys that nicked his bacon sandwich, he waas gutted, but all we did was roll around laughing. Hope you have found him up there, really cant imagine him as an agel with wings, but cant imagine you with wings either, i am sure you will have slung them in a typical andrew paddy ages ago, wish i could have been a fly on the wall. love ya drew x x x x x x x x x
