Dad, I can't believe I'm writing this , that I won't ever be able to speak to you again , I keep thinking your just going to ping up on my phone, checking In like you always did.
I just remember the time I got the train down to see you, whenever I remember that day the first things that always ping to mind are those peacocks , I thought they were so amazing until (you warned me) they woke me up crazily early ,they were soo loud!! And when you secretly warmed my bed with a hot water bottle - it was from then I just knew you were the kindest, most thoughtful man.
I'm sad I didn't get to grow up with you but I will be forever grateful for the years we had , you made me feel so loved, cared for and just was always there for me, all of the time - so thank you for being the best Dad I could have ever asked for.
I miss you so much,
Love you,
Sammy
And of course Carl and buster (I will give him a hug like you always ask me to do when you call) xx
