Dad, I can’t believe it’s been a year since we said goodbye. Although it’s been a year and I am more than aware that nearly 366 days have gone by since our final farewell, the notification of it being a year had hit me harder than I’d ever have expected it could have.
Over the last year, I’ve lost count of the times I’ve subconsciously said I’d ask you something. The reaction of calling ‘dad’ has still not yet subsided and the grief feels as raw as it did one year ago today.
I miss you so much. My heart aches daily for you and the pain is still very much a daily occurrence, and I’m still struggling to navigate life without you here. There’s so much I wish I could ask your advice on, your opinion and your support.
You were one of the kindest most respectful men I’ve been lucky enough to know, let alone call my father.
You are still in my heart, in my thoughts and in my life.
I love you dad xxxxxx
