Unable to let this day pass without saying the words, Happy Fathers Day Dad, you were so special, lots of love, Angela xxx

First Christmas without you Dad

My First Christmas without you Dad,
A present missing from under the tree
A Card without your name on
An empty chair at dinner
Everything reminds me that you have gone

When asked what you wanted for Christmas, a smile was all you would say
A smile and a few more hours, in each and every day
Embrace the spirit of Christmas is what I keep trying to do,
Make the most of every hour, but life is hard without you

I find myself asking what would Dad say
And I try to answer as you would have done
At this time of year though Dad, every step is a painful one
One step at a time I say to myself, it is the only way
I can hear you now, dry your eyes Girl, is what you would say,
The Happy Memories help a little, thinking back over all the years
Dad you taught me time was precious, you wouldn’t have wanted these tears,

Living life without you in it Dad is very hard to do
When all those Happy Memories only lead me back,
To a my first Christmas without you

Whatever else we fail to do,
We never fail to think of you.
Happy Christmas Dad xxxx

Never more than a thought away. I really miss you xxx Clive
