Hi dad just been sitting here reading the messages I sent to you when you passed
Must admit they have made me cry, just can’t believe that so many years have now skipped by like the blink of an eye.
But nothing has changed we all still miss you so much and wish that you could still be with us especially at Christmas.
Mum is doing ok but then you know that as I know your presence is still very much in the bungalow with her. I see your photo appear everyday when I make a cup of tea at mums and often say a few words to you. Your great grand children are all growing up fast some you of which weren’t born when you passed but I bet you are still watching over them. You will certainly live on in all of us especially in the memories we hold of you and the stories that your Nana tells us about when you were both younger and first met. She was only recalling them to Wendy and Alyssa the other day.

We have got Matthew, Jemma and Poppy stopping with us for a few days, Poppy is nearly eighteen now a real old
Lady. Mat is in the Navy now but I guess you already know that and was looking over him while he was at sea. I bet you are so proud of how well he has done in his military career.
Well I had better go for low I can hear them stirring upstairs they are off to the Panto later which should be a laugh

Well until we meet again, take care give my love to Kenneth and Joan
Love you always
Your devoted daughter
Karen

Thankyou Dad for just been you


For helping me throughout my life


For all the countless hours and days you stayed by my side


In times of sickness and strife



Your love it showed no boundaries


You helped me find my way


The things you did for me Dad


I could never repay



The memories I have of you are what I hold most dear


Now that you are at rest


I know you couldn't stay and if i shed a tear


It's only because I have lost the best



One day Dad we will meet again


But for now I want you to watch over me


Carry on like you used to


The protector of your family



Send a ray of sunshine Dad


To brighten up the day


For when I am sad Dad


Because you couldn't stay



So rest in peace Dad feel no more pain


I'll miss you every day


And the love I hold within my heart


Will never go away



It will be with me forever


With all my memories too


Ot the best Dad there could ever be


The One And Only You

Hi Dad


We said our last goodbye to you today but it is not forever just until we are all together again


Told you I would take you in the car, I was so pleased that we could do it and I think mum thought it was nice too. She even said to you that you had got your wish. I know you didn't go far but at least you went in ithe car and we drove passed nana's grave , which I thought was the right thing to do.


It was so uncanny that Sandra should be there, of all the days and times !!! I think that you and Auntie Jean must have been sending messages down to her.


It has been a hard few weeks, have missed you so much and sometimes really can't take it all in and with losing Jenny too it seems at times that life will never get any better.


But I know there is hope because of your grandchildren and great grandchildren all the memories that we have shared as a family will get passed down and will be talked about for years to come, so you do live on and always will, perhaps not in body but in the hearts and minds of all of us who love you so dearly.


Well dad I must go now because no doubt space is tight and so I will say goodnight and godbless and am sending a billions kisses from all of us to keep you going for a bit


Love you so very much


Your devoted daughter


(and all the rest of the family)

Dad


Can't put into words how much I am missing you, how I wish that you were still sitting in your seat when I open the door at the bungalow


Life does carry on that is something that we have no control over, but it can never be the same without you


I have had a real sad day today, our Jenny went off her feet. We have been expecting it for some time now but didn't want to have to make that decision but we had no choice


It was pitiful to see her lying collasped on the floor in her own wee, so we knew the time had come


We have has her since she was six weeks old and she would have been seventeen in June so I suppose in doggy years that makes her real old.


Anyhow I told her that you would be waiting for her along with Rex, Toby, Ratsy and all the other dogs we have had over the years and that she will beable to run and play again just like she did when she was a pup and with no more pain


So dad at least you won't be lonely up in heaven and by the way tell nana, uncle Harold, Roland etc that I have been looking at some old pictures that mum had found


Mum misses you loads and so do all the overs but we are all there for each other


Anyhow have got to go now, this next few weeks won't be easy what with your anniversary, mum's birthday coming up but we will find the strength to get through it and won't let you down


Love and miss you forever Dad


YOUR DEVOTED DAUGHTER
