You have no idea how much we’re all going to miss you today in particular Dad. Boxing Day was our Christmas Day, it made Christmas Christmas and it hasn’t been the same since you had to leave. I miss you so much Dad, today and every other day of the year. I love you so much xx

i miss you grandad, tomorrow would of been us sitting playing noughts and crosses or snakes and ladders, i would always win, i never ever cheated !!!!!!!! Maybe this time I’ll let you win (first time ever). look after everyone up there and keep an eye out for Ella. Have a good Christmas grandad, have as many sausage rolls as nan lets you, which isn’t many, but I’ll sneak a few up to you.
I adore you.
All my love

I’m sitting here waiting for time to catch up with me.
It still feels like yesterday I was sitting in the car hearing cries and screams and I didn’t know if my grandad was okay or not. I heard the defibrillator, and it haunts me 6 years later.
Time goes so fast yet so slow, especially when my world ended 6 years ago. That was the day a piece of my heart was lost and made its way with you and nan, where it belonged. It hurts a lot knowing that I have to wait another lifetime to see you again, and i’m counting down the seconds until i can beat you at noughts and crosses- i’ve learnt more tricks now. I only knew you for 10 years but i had never felt so complete and content in that short time we spent together.
It pains me that i’ll never know if i’ve made you proud. You didn’t watch me grow into a grumpy teenager, or a young adult. And all i can think of is “why?”. Why did God decide it was your time to go? Because it wasn’t, you were needed here with me. I know you couldn’t live without her grandad but we couldn’t live without you let alone both. To loose nan and to loose my beloved grandad within 5 days, God was out to get us. And i’ve questioned him every waking moment on why he did that to us. Why did we have to separate?
In a couple of hours i’ll be replaying the tragic events of what unfolded on the 7th july 2019. And it won’t leave my head at all. It’s just full with all the noises and the screams that everyone wept. It’s overwhelming. I just want you to take me away to the lines with a couple of biscuits, some appletizer and a game of snakes and ladders. Just one more time and then i might be able to let you go.
I just want you to tell me you love me one more time. Wind me up, one more time. Snore as loud as you can, one more time.
One. More. Time.
That’s all I want.
I love you grandad and i’ll keep saying it until I can say it to you in person, one more time.

Missing you so much at Christmas Dad. You would think it would get easier with each year that passes but it doesn’t. It still breaks my heart every day that you’re not here with us. I miss you and mum so much xx

Happy birthday dad, been thinking of you all day. Still can't believe your not here with us. Love you so so much and miss you millions ❤️

Happy Birthday my Gramps love you always & forever 🕊️🤍

Hi Grandad,
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years today. I still remember the moment we found out, and it still doesn’t feel real. I miss you and nan more than any number of words could ever explain.
My life hasn’t exactly been filled with great male role models, but you were always that constant one good man in my life.
So much has happened in the past five years that I wish I could sit and tell you about. So many good things, so many changes, and I guess I just really hope I’m making you both proud.
I hope you both know how much we alllove you and how much we all miss you.
I have so many memories growing up with you and nan that make me smile. You are the best grandparents anyone could ever wish for, and I’m so glad that you’re my grandad.
I love you x

Hi dad, can't believe it's been so long since I last saw you and mum.so much has changed since you've been gone and there's so much I want to tell you.
I miss you so much, your not funny jokes and some of the things you used to say. It really was such a terrible shock to lose you so soon after mum, no time to even say goodbye and tell you how much I love you.
Life's never gonna be the same again. Look after mum and give her a kiss from me. Love you always and forever dad 💔

Love and miss you so much farther always and forever 💛

Love and miss you always gramps🩵🤍

I miss you so much dad, especially on days like today. I’d give anything to be able to give you a Father’s Day hug and to tell you I love you. Always thinking of you and mum and wishing you were here. Thank you for being the most incredible Dad in the last 20 years. It healed all the hurt and heartache from the past and gave me the best Dad I could have ever wished for. I love you xx

i love you grandad more then anything. please look after nanny for me. look after eachother and give eachother a hug from me. i really miss you and you’re stupid jokes and absolutely beating you at snakes and ladders and snap. i really wish we could play a game together right now. they always made me feel better. i love you grandad and i miss you

Happy birthday to my wonderful, funny dad. I couldn’t have asked for a better dad and I’m very proud to call you mine. I love you and mum so very much and miss you both beyond belief xx

Happy birthday G-Dog 🎈
Thank you for always seeing the best in me, and always pushing me to try my hardest. You taught me so much about persevering no matter what life throws your way, and you were the only good male role model I had through most of my life. There’s so much I’m grateful to you for, but I think most of all, it’s for teaching me to always find the light side of life and not dwell on the negativity. I can’t explain how much I miss you and nan, and how much I think about you both. You will both always be so important to me and my biggest inspirations in life. I love you so much and I hope you’re having the best birthday - with a huge buffet and plenty of footie to watch.
Love you always and forever,
J x
