Well Dad you were (are) definitely one in a million, who could have asked for a better dad, I'm sure I was always a daddies girl until I got to 14 / 15 when you were just embarrassing dad.... A story that truely demonstrates that is the time you decide that we were going to cycle to guides, a bit reluctantly I agreed to this and you disappeared upstairs to get changed.... Both me and mum weren't really sure why you need to change just to cycle about a mile done the road but you said you needed to....you reappeared 10mins later wearing the oldest pair of 70's flared corduroys wrapped round your skinny calfs/shins about 10 times proudly held by brass bicycle clips..... To say I was distraught with embarrassment was an understatement, I begged and begged you not to take me out wearing that but you just insisted you looked fine and was I ready to go......to this day mum has no idea where the corduroy and brass bicycle clips appeared from but you were very proud of the look. As I got older I hope I made you proud, I will never for get the Christmas morning of 1993 when you drove all the way to Great Ormond Street Hospital to pick me up after my night shift just so I could spend Christmas Day with you, mum and the family, bless you I was really greatful, otherwise I would have just spent Christmas Day asleep in the nurses home. I felt really proud of you on my wedding day and loved that you walked me down the isle, we had great fun practicing in the living room of Halfway House and enjoyed our 'wee dram' in the wedding car before we arrived at the Venue, to this day I don't know if it was whiskey or brandy but it got us down the isle!!! You have been the most fantastic Grandad to Evie she loves you to bits and will miss your talking rubbish to each other and opera singing at the top of your voices any time we went walking in the woods, thank you for teaching her how to play domino and cards, they will be fond memories she has forever, we will always talk about you. Oh Dad I can't really believe I have to write this, it really hasn't sunk in that I will never see you again but I think that's because you will always be with me, I have loved having you as my dad Sweet Dreams Daddy, Angiexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
