Hey Dad, it's been a while, but you are never far from my thoughts and you never leave my heart...I've been thinking about you a lot recently...and i recently found out something awful about the day you died and i'm not sure how to process that information... It's started my thoughts and feelings snowballing and i'm struggling to deal with the impact of that revelation...There is only one reason im feeling like this again, it involves my negative trigger... I am having strange dreams, almost realistic...I think its my subconscious trying to find away to deal with this as I certainly can't deal with it while im awake, you know just how big that explosion would be, if it got out... I'm sorry moaning about myself, but within these thoughts and memories, I am remebering more memories, different ones, they are not all sad Dad...they are sweet, funny, lovely and i cherish them all, it's just these ones make me realise just how much we took you for granted, I never got the chance to thank you for everthing you did for me and how much i appreciated you...You were one of the good ones Dad, I just hope you know that and that somewhere deep down you knew how much we loved you and you took that with you, love will never die xxxx I

Hey Dad, tomorrow marks 23 years without you, to make it worse, tomorrow is also fathers day...I have come to wish you, happy fathers day for tomorrow Dad and to remember your last day with us...I like to be on my own when I come on here, which I am now, but won't be tomorrow...but that won't stop me thinking about you... Em is feeling proud having made a fathers day card, chosen her own from the shop and wrapped Paul's present (only with a little bit of help from me) and has hidden it all in her special hiding place...It's like watching my younger self all those years ago with you, on fathers day... Oh Dad I wish you were here to meet Paul you'd like him oh and Emily, she is a proper character she would make you laugh Dad...We will be sending our fathers day hugs, kisses and love to you tomorrow, mine to you from me Dad and to a very special pops from Emily...Love and miss you as always, thinking of you as always xxxx

Hi Dad, sorry it's been such a long time since we came to see you. We saw you and bought you some flowers, last week. Everything felt different this time, even when i spoke to you. I think i was properly starting to grieve for you. I had no anger or any form of a fleeting hatred, just a pure emptiness, which I've not felt before, but mainly i felt very sad. I think we had a little chuckle though didn't we Dad. Emily taking my phone so she could take a photo and said "smile mummy" bless her. I took her photo with you, it's the only type i will ever be able to take of you 2 together, but she can be near you that way, i have that way, my memories and so much love in my heart to remember you, always and forever Dad..always xxxx
