On the 21st of this month we lost my father 12 years ago. Rest in peace Dad. Love you.
I miss you Dad everyday,
I especially miss you in these crazy times
when you would be there to help get me through,
I wonder how you’d have coped with all this,
you would probably have moaned a bit
but did what needed to be done
because you cared about people
so much.
I miss your humour,
I miss your love,
it makes me so proud
when Mum and Shar say
I have your smile.
You were one in a million,
I hate the 21st every year,
I was so glad I slept past 11am,
the hour you died,
I wanted to,
I was scared to be awake
and remember the pain.
I prefer to think of the good times
when you were with us
and it felt like it would never be any other way,
you taught me to be kind and to be strong,
you set me up so well for life
in just over 18 years
and you are forever with me
and the girls in our hearts.
