To my dad, my king, I hope in another time and another place our story doesn’t end this way dad. A version where goodbye never found us and you was here to stay always. I pray that our paths are written to cross again dad and when that moment comes I am going to hug you so tight and squeeze my head between your neck and shoulder blade and never let go. Love doesn’t disappear with time it simply waits for another place and time. Dad I thought I had a lifetime left with you, am so sorry for everything left unspoken. You may be gone from this world, but you will never be gone from mine. Dad your in my heart, tears, laughter, quiet moments and loud to. I talk to you every day, maybe it’s grief, but loving you dearly did not end when your heartbeat did. We never got to say goodbye and so many words are left in my chest, but our memories replay and are told every day. Memories oh so many, too many I’d have to write a book. Being young we knew our place but you made life fun, you were always there with advice, support or a loan. You loved us, the red men and your family, the JOHNSONS and would back us all no matter what. I hope my Nan is spoiling you today, she always had a soft spot for you because you was so much like her brother, Ronnie. I hope they’re all making your 70th birthday celebration special. Dad you was a good person and me too, so I know God will have plans for us to meet again. Dad I try and smile through the tears because I know your love didn’t end, I know you loved me until your last breath and I will carry that love until mine. Happy Heavenly 70th birthday to my dad, my king, my 1st love. I miss you so so so much dad, loved you always and forever will. Your honourable and heartbroken daughter Elaine ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ YNWA 💔💔💔💔💔💔
