Hi Dad, I’ve been thinking of you a lot lately. It’s been a tough time this last year. So much to deal with, health wise with Dan. Almost two years of awful health. Liver, alcoholism and now diabetes and a terrible accident which set us back further. I wish you were here. I miss was. I hate that I did not get a chance to tell you that I loved you. I always will Dad. I hope that you’re proud of me, I work bloody hard to provide for my family. I wish you could see your grandchildren growing into such interesting and wonderful humans. I’m talking about you from time to time with them both. Love and miss you Dad. ❤️

Daddy, I have thought of you often this year and more so as the time of your passing is almost here. This year has been a really hideous one with so many difficulties to overcome for everyone. It's been a year of change. We are in the process of buying a home Dad, you'd be saying "nice one darling" and so chuffed with us, we're going to be home owners at the grand old age of 53! So we will be moving to Lincolnshire to create a new life for us. Phoebe and Archie are growing into fine young people and you'd be very proud of their little achievements. At this time of year I think so much of family and miss being nearer to Mum and my Sisters. You have left such a hole in our lives Dad. I'm often comforted knowing we'll see each other again one day in the glory of Heaven. Mummy keeps herself well and we all are grateful that she has her Sister, Dee so close by to keep her company. I will light a candle for you this Christmas as always and send my love and hugs to you in my prayers. Sleep tight Dad. Love you always. Gin xxx

Dear Daddy The last few years have been a bit tough. I’m comforted knowing our family is strong and supportive of each other but it’s hard not being able to talk to you. I miss you horribly. I’m glad mummy is surrounded by family and friends in Ireland today, to keep her in good spirits. Love you always ❤️❤️❤️
