Dad, it’s been a tough week or so, never got the chance to show you our photos from the safari as you were so poorly but you would have been wowed by them. I’m sad you’re no longer here but I’m also relieved you are no longer in pain and suffering or lonely. You kept going to the grand old age of 87, quite an achievement. Time to rest now though, and spend time with Mam. Love you and will miss you, I’ll miss our football chats even if you were heavily biased in black and white. X

My dad with my father in law on 24 July 2005, the day after my wedding. I gave them both Sunderland shirts as wedding gifts as a joke as they’re both Black and Whites. The fact they both wore them for a photo and had a laugh made it funnier.

I took my dad on the North Yorkshire moors railway some years ago now, here is looking dapper and healthy, he was always smart as a button.

Memorable occasion with Dad when my sister, Dianne, and I helped Dad up Orrest Head in Ambleside, 2018. We'll miss you, Dad, but all your pain is gone now. Love always.

That was a lovely day. Likely the last time our dad was on the summit of a fell. He was chuffed to bits too. Xx
