Dear Dad,
This is my second Christmas without you, and it still feels strange not having you here. We miss your voice, your laugh, and the way you made this time of year feel. Even though you’re not here, we all carry you with us in the things you taught us, the memories we shared, and the love you gave that never goes away. We hope you know how much you’re missed and how loved you still are. Merry Christmas, Dad. 🤍 Grandad and Great Granda xxxxxxxx
Mandi, Justin, Sonny, Gary, Jay, Chelsea, Teddy & Daisy ❤️❤️

One Year Without You, Dad
It’s been a year since you left us, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss you. Your on my mind every single day.
I miss our shopping trips, your laugh, your dodgy shopping lists, and especially our Mondays at soft play with Teddy and Daisy.
Every Monday, they still say hello to your photo — it’s our little ritual — so they never forget the wonderful Grear Grandad you were.
You’re always in our hearts, and your love still surrounds us in everything we do.
We miss you so much. 💙 Love you M x
