Hi Dad, (Happy Fathers Day - Australia 7th Sept 2008) Its been a while since I went and logged onto to your tribute fund. I have been living in Australia now for the past year so things have been a bit hectic as we are building a house. I think of you Dad all the time and can't believe you have been gone for so long. The 16th May 2002 when you died can be still remembered so clearly but yet in time so many years have past now. I have pictures of you all over the house at home in Australia and smile when I look down and see your face. I can even remember the time the picture was taken and where it was taken and know you were happy when we took it. Mum, Jackie and Jamie are coming to visit us soon on holiday and I wish you were coming as well. You are so very much missed Dad and I know Nicola misses you so much too. She has missed out on so many years without her Grandpa as I have missed out with you as my Dad. We laugh when we remember your silly jokes or say remember Dad said that or Grandpa always made us laugh at that. Dad you would have been coming up for 70 this year (27th December 2008). I know you would have been still such a funny man and the love of our lives and even after all this time we all still cry over you and cherish our memories of you as if they were so valuable. Dad, I am the luckiest girl in the world to of had you as my Father. You don't appreciate what you have until it is taken away from you and I have missed my relationship as your daughter. Every Fathers Day event that comes round is so sad for me as I can't buy the cards anymore or the gifts from Nicvola to her Grandpa or see you open your presents that you hinted for months for us all to buy for you. Dad, you are magical and an inspriration to me and I will always be your daughter and I will always have you in my heart. Lots of hugs and endless love From your daughter Linda x
