Dear dad, this time next week will be Xmas day. Our first without you singing with your hat. This is the first Christmas that I haven’t looked forward to. I feel so sad. I was walking around Ruxley garden centre today very tearful. I kept getting choked up. Just hearing music and seeing everything so Christmassy was hard to deal with. Then I walked past the moving figures and some hats. All I heard was the sound of your hat. A child had pressed the button. It was the same sound as yours but not the same colour. Instead of red and white, it was just red. It broke my heart. That awful stomach pain came and I cried. Thank goodness the place wasn’t busy. I’m going to miss you so much on Christmas Day. I miss you every day but Christmas Day is going to be emotional. I love and miss you so much. 💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔xxxxxxxxxxxxx
