Thinking of you more than ever Dad now that the numbness is fading. We shared so much, especially in your last 10 years (me and my shadow, joined at the hip)and its going to take a long time to get used to you not being here anymore.
You were such a strong, hard working, loyal, gentle giant and to see you slowly decline over the last 7 years with dementia was soul destroying and the hardest thing i've ever had to do. But it was also the greatest privilege to help you on your dementia journey as your 24/7 carer and what a journey it has been.
I never gave up, even in the most trying times and I hope deep inside you realised that even though the evil disease took away your independance and gradually stole you away, that everything I done was for your benefit and to keep you safe, even though it didnt seem like it to you at the time.
I will cherish our special memories and will miss you so much but find comfort in knowing that you are free of the evil disease, pain free once more and most of all reunited with our dearest Mum.
Good night & God Bless Dad
Always in my thoughts & forever in my heart.
Your ever loving daughter Maureen
