Dear Stephen
A year ago on 3rd August 2018 you left us. We sat with you for two nights, talked, cried, laughed, played music as you struggled to stay. On the friday morning I held your hand and softly spoke to you saying it was ok to go and the girls would be alright, you turned your head to me and slipped away at 9.01am, I think of that moment often.
Even though you were sick and we knew that day would come it was such a terribly sad time losing you and the year has been full of...

Dear Stephen
I'm sending a dove to Heaven
with a parcel on it's wings
be careful when you open it
it's filled with special things.

Inside are some bottles of asahi
and some goodies you like too
They're wrapped up in a hundred hugs
to say how much we miss you.

Everyday your in my thoughts XX

Dear dad.
I cant honestly believe it's been 5 months since your beautiful soul left us. I wish for only one second if that's all it could be is for us to have one word, one smile, one hug, one kiss on the cheek. Your handsome smile, just anything. I wish I could hear your voice that I miss so much. You would love the weather at the moment. I always picture you sitting outside under your pagola you built enjoying a shandy or two. They were the good memories and we had so many. If only...

Christmas in Heaven
What do they do?
they all come to earth
and spend it with you,
so save them a space,
one empty chair
You might not see them,
but they will be there .......

It's that time of year again which is so difficult with lots of emotions. I know you weren't a fan of Christmas Stephen but having grandkids I think you were giving it a go.
Hold mum's hand and bring her with you. XX

Hi Stephen, I was mowing your lawns yesterday, it was such a lovely warm sunny day just what you like. My mind was on you as i drove, i thought how much you would love the way your place is looking, I imagined you sitting watching and laughing as I tried to control that ride on of yours.
I wish heaven had a phone number so I could call you and mum, the two people I miss so much.
Happy birthday mum, I love you.
Take care of each other.
