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
