Anne 20th June 2021

Dear Clive, as I write to you it always takes me back to when we used to be apart in our early years and we’d write to each other almost every day. Now all’s I have left is to write to you again, only I know I will never receive a reply and it really breaks my heart. Hopefully today, the first Father’s Day without you we will all be spending it together, round Lesley’s at our usual BBQ. And Lesley is so right when she says to you that it will never be the same without you. Heartache is not just a word Clive as we have found out since you left us. Our hearts really do ache for you and the pain is not easy to describe. A good description though would be someone pressing on your heart until it hurts. We have to get through so many other special days without you this year. We have the wedding, Annice’s 18th, James and Tez hopefully starting to buy their first home, my 70th, Xmas, New Year’s Eve, nothing will ever be the same for us. Tears we have shed since you have been gone don’t help in the long run, but a good breakdown can get us through each day. We are going to try and be cheerful today Clive and remember lots of good Father’s days we have had with you and some of the silly things you have done that made us all laugh. I miss you so much every day and I love you always. So I hope you and all the rest of those Dads up there with you will look down on us today and smile as we get through today in the best way that we can, which is all of us, me, Lesley, Jason and our families just being together and remembering you as we always do. Love you eternally, Anne 💔💔💔😘😘😘😘😘😘
