Lesley 7th January 2022

Dear dad, I am raising a glass for you tonight for your 75th Birthday tomorrow. 🍷 I can’t raise a glass tomorrow as I’m on mum cabs duty! Driving Annice to work then collecting her at 11pm. Andy would usually do it but he now has covid. The rest of us are fine. You would laugh though dad as he is isolating in his shed! He’s never spent so much time in it 😂 I miss you so much dad. It’s so heartbreaking not having you here with us. I know you wouldn’t want any of us to feel the heartbreak and pain we are feeling but it’s out of our control because we miss you so much. I know you wanted an updated iPad for your 75th because you seemed to get them every 5 years. I remember you saying you will get a new one when your 75! I hope you get one where to you are. You can update your paint by numbers. I know you loved that. Mum enjoys paint by numbers too. I enjoy paint by numbers, but with paints although I haven’t had a chance lately. So dad I’m now raising a glass for you, gee whizz this is hard to do. Emotionally. But here’s to your 75th birthday tomorrow. 🍷 all my love from Lesley xxxxxxxxxxxx
