my darling dad , you were the best ever , so caring , you worried about us constantly ...(i
understand why now i have my own children ! ).
Right from the start i was a daddies girl , i remember your smile, those warm hugs , a safe hand to
hold .
there was nothing you would not do for us dad and i didnt always appreciate you enough , took things
for granted , thought you would always be here .......then you began to get ill , and tried not to
show it , as usual protecting us , but i knew something was wrong ..12 march 1995 the day our lives
changed forever , i was away , staying with my then boyfriend , you were looking after my brother
who was 15 at the time , mum was on holiday in spain with some friends.
i got the phone call everyone dreads , from my uncle , although he just said to come home as you
were ill , but i knew something was dreadfully wrong , i raced home , walked in the house and was
met by an eerie silence , then the phone rang , this time telling me you had gone.....time stood
still , i had never experienced such pain and sorrow as i felt just at that moment .
my poor mum in spain , thank god for our family taking us under thier wings till you got back mum,
you died in a car accident we found out , they think you blacked out .
i miss you so much dad , and wish you could be here to see your grandchildren , you would have
spoilt them rotten i know , but i know you are looking after everyone in heaven , no doubt making
them all a cuppa , you loved your tea , as i do now :)
love you forever dad
