One year on…it doesn’t seem possible. Miss you everyday. Xxx

Happy heavenly birthday Daddy

Happy heavenly Father’s Day Daddy. Love you & miss you loads. Xxx

Another month passed us by this week. I was thinking about you Dad on Monday just didn’t get around to sending you a message as my feet hardly touched the ground.

Mum, Zoe & I have just had a lovely few days away in your caravan. The weather was very kind to us as we had mainly sunshine & warm weather so we had a very nice time. I think mum really enjoyed herself but I’m sure it felt very odd being away in your caravan without you. I got involved in the blue jobs seeing we had no men to help us but we managed fine. Even Zoe mucked in with the water & waste. The toilet not so much...mum was a trouper & managed brilliantly. Dick towed the van for us to Christchurch with your car. I ferried us around whilst we were there. A fun time was had by all. We visited your fave places exbury gardens & Compton acres. Xx

Wow how can it be 8 months already?!

The days are getting longer so we can enjoy the light evenings. It’s such a lovely time of year. We’re all keeping busy. We’re even talking about taking the caravan out at the end of this month. Not sure if we’re taking on more than we can chew but I’d like to try for mum. I’m sure you can guide us from afar.... I’m sure she’d love an outing even if it will be difficult without you by her side.

It’s been a tough week this week for some reason. I’ve been quite emotional at times. Life is tough for mum but she’s soldiering on. I’m trying my hardest for you Dad. Xxx

Another month passed yesterday Dad - that’s now 7 months. It doesn’t seem possible. Spring sprung last week but is cold again this week. You wouldn’t be enjoying the cold right now that’s for sure. We spent a lovely sunny day at Hever Castle on Easter Sunday with Mum. You would have enjoyed it too I’m sure. Rounded off with a lovely roast dinner & a bottle of red. Sorry I’m a day late but i was thinking of you yesterday even if I didn’t post my comment until today. Xxx

Another month has passed Dad - a milestone this month it feels. I can’t believe 6 months has passed already. We visited you today in the sunshine. You were in my thoughts all day though. We even drank your favourite wine at dinner - cote de Rhône. I bought mum some flowers to brighten her day - I think they helped even if it was only a little it was worth it. Missing you. Xxxx

Another month passed us by yesterday Dad. I shed a tear when a picture of you popped up on our photo frame of you & Mum looking so happy together holding Becky as a young child. Happy memories which I’ll treasure forever 💕

Another month has passed Dad. It is unbelievable how quickly time is going even though we find ourselves in lockdown again. My thoughts are with you. Xx

Happy New Year Daddy. I hope you enjoyed your party in heaven last night with your brother Tony, your Mum & Dad. We looked after Mum for you. Xxx

Happy Christmas Dad. You were sorely missed today but forever in our hearts. 💕

Another month has passed - thinking of you today as we enter into a difficult time of mixed emotions - Christmas won’t be the same without you but we will try to make it a happy one in your memory. Love you Dad. Xx

RIP Richard
