Dear dad, it’s been another hard week of emotions. Thinking of you and the times we had in the spring and summer months. Pictures pop up of you in my time hop or on Facebook. Some funny ones popped up today. 10 years ago we had a BBQ here. And the photos of everyone dressing in fancy dress. And you were pretending to be a drunken man with a wig on and with one of the kids blankets. We had such a good day. And you really did. I remember us all in fits of laughter watching you. I hate the thought of never being able to do those funny things again. I miss you so so much. Everyone does. it’s hard to look forward now days. We just seem to plod along. Getting through the days, and months. It’s hard. Very hard. Rocky is our rock right now although there’s days that he really isn’t. We are very weary of him. Hopefully it’s just his age and he mellows as he gets older. He is fun but hard work. But we all love him. Well apart from Andy and Luke as they are allergic to him 😂 I love taking him for walks. I just wish I had more to take him out. We finally had some good news today dad…. Annice passed her driving test. It’s been along time getting to this point as you have to wait 6 months for a test. But she’s finally done it. We are all so pleased for her. Now she is looking for a little car. I know you would be so happy for her. I just wish you were here to get into her little car so she could take you for a drive. I know you would be putting your foot down on the floor of the passenger seat 🤣😂🤣😂 pressing your invisible break. I will probably do it 🙈 😂 James also passed his test on Friday 13th. So both passed their driving tests on Friday 13th, but different years. I wonder if Luke will do the same in a couple of years time 😳😀 Your memorial pot is doing well. We have had the tulips, then daffodils and now the rose bush is growing really well. I love seeing it in the morning when I look out of the window but I still feel sad, but also happy for my memories of you. Dad I miss you more and more each and every day. My heart aches. Shine bright. Give us a sign that you are ok, and happy. I love you to the moon and back. All my love Lesley 💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔💙💔xxxxxxxxxxxxx
