This is a photo of me(tricia)and my dad,this photo represents the bond and close relationship that
we were to share...about my dad...My dad was a joker,a strong willed man a great listener great
support a very easy going man who had time for anyone he was just a great man,a great dad to me an
my older brother craig,a great brother to auntie annie,uncle john,uncle robert and uncle mick who
also passed away 14months ago which brought huge sadness to my dad.I didnt have the pleasure of
being raised with my dad in my life my brother was though,mum took me away and i grew up not knowing
who my dad was all i was told is that he was no good because he was a drinker in his younger days
and he and mum had what you could say a terbulant relationship.Anyway i was 15 when i finally met my
dad and we finally had the chance to have what was the start of an awsome and very close
relationship.I finally found out who i was like and in fact i was dads double in personality,sense
of humour and an uncanny resemblance,amongst many things,it was great,he was my outlet,he always had
time to listen to me no matter what,he got me through a time in my life which if it wasnt for him it
couldve quite easily have consumed me...... anyway he was my daddy and i was his girl.I finally
settled down and found the love of my life who iam to marry in november,i was so excited about
getting dad in a shirt and tie although he wasnt keen on the whole idea of that...the last time i
seen dad was the 14th which was my fiances 24th birthday,he shook davids hand, gave me a hug and his
final blessing and told me he was happy that i had finally got my life together and that he realy
liked david.David also lost his dad tragically 2 and a half years ago,ronald freeman and his wife
donna are close friends of mine...The last time i spoke to dad was the monday which was the
20th.Then the next thing i knew id just finished eating my dinner and i got the worst news id ever
recieve.....my dad was gone,he left me...... i thought id have dad for alot longer than i did which
turns out i only had him for 11years,but having my precious dad in my life for those 11years,and
having the chance to build our relationship and have the chance to have those memories and the great
moments together,turns out they were the best years of my life.....i miss you so much dad. love your
girl always and forever,Tricia
missing you...............
well dad its been yet another month since you left us.....i miss you every second,im always thinking of you and how much i wish you didint have to leave,i guess there must have been a reason for it because everything happens for a reason...doesnt it? i guess... but it just hurts so much i really never would have thought it would happen to me, i would never have thought that for a minute that id lose you....i miss our long chats, i miss our laughs, i miss you coming to visit me, i miss knowing that you were there for me no matter what, i miss that you were only ever a phone call away, i miss hearing your voice, i miss hearing how you would say my name, i miss the fact that i knew you understood me, but most of all i miss you.... we visit you every month dad, david and i always come and see you on the 22nd of each month and have a smoke with you,we light a candle and insense for you each time that i leave with you, yesterday i gave you a cherib to watch over you....oh guess what the insense that i found at home the one that we light for you is out of the same pack that you bought for me when i was at my house, i rememberd you really liked the smell of it :) i usually cry my heart out when i come and see you and clean your stone but yesterday when we visited you we had a laugh. i love you forever dad you girl always,miss you tricia xxx

Dad,i just found out that you died of the swine flu, i for some reason feel as though i just found out all over again that you left...in 2 days exactley to the day its been 2 months since you were taken from us all so suddenly,and ive realised time goes by so quick i can bearly get a grip on it...you've already missed so much.I wake up everyday and if its a nice day know that you wouldve been down to visit us...i treasure every moment we had the chance to spend together,im just so so glad that we did have the chance to know eachother... i dont care what anyone else says or thinks i know you were proud of me,i know that when you fell asleep that night that you knew i was okay and you didnt need to worry about me.You seen me hit rock bottom and you seen me scrape myself up and start all over again...and you were so happy with me...but now i feel i have another long road ahead of me,but i will get through it and i will conquor, you can count on that my precious daddy i have the strength that was installed in me from a young age...and i have you to thank for that.i miss you all day every day love you always and forever your girl tricia xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
My brother, my true friend I miss you so much and willremain that way forever until we meet again.
Thankyou for staying in my life as you did and for loving me unconditionally and always, you never judged and yet were judged by some who chose not to know you. Life took many turns for us both but we maintained a deep and abiding love that a brother and sister have throughout the years and were anticpating better times ahead for us both but we were thwarted at a time when people are commencing a different journey because the years had rolled by and it was time to find pleasure and experience different things before old age set in but it was not meant to be I suppose and so I must accept what has happened and live until it is too my turn to leave, I can only pray that I will be able to do it with the dignity that you did, my greatest regret is that I did not come in time.
I will always remember you and keep you close to me to help me along now and to realize that time goes so quickly and so I will not have to wait to long to again be with you...chuckling together in our hidey hole. Until then, thankyou so for loving me and sharing your life with me. Your sister Annie

So final...
Dad,you were finally put in your hidey hole just in time for fathers day...i couldnt bring myself to going to visit you until today.It just feels so final, so official.I said to you at your funeral that i wasnt ready to say goodbye,well im still not i realy dont think i ever will be dad.Instead i will just say goodnight to you every night...i miss you more and more everyday...Dad will you still be at my wedding? i thought about posphoning it as since i lost you ive been so depressed,almost unable to face the day,the reason i didnt put it off is because you knew the date and how we were going to do things so in my mind im rest assured that you'll be there in spirit...i love you dad,yours truly tricia xxxxxxxxx
My precious daddy...
People keep telling me that you'd be proud of me and how im dealing with all this...well the truth is...i feel empty,i feel lost,lost without you.I know in your heart you were always trying to make it up to me for all the lost time we missed as i grew up,you were always saying sorry for all the things that happend to me when i was little that you couldnt be there to stop.I never needed you to make it up to me i was just happy you were there for me in the here and now,but i will tell you now dad that you did,you more than made it up to me...you were the best daddy i could of wished for,and i know you felt the same,you thought i was great.We had a special bond,i guess what made it that extra bit stronger was the fact that we missed out on all that time.We had a bond that could never be broken,not even now that your gone.I just want you to know that you will forever be locked in my heart and soul....miss you so my precious daddy....
Very Greatful
Ian i had only meet you a few times although you became a permanent fixture to my mums chair at front of my house whilst your darling daughter slept the daylight hours away, i want to tell you i am very greatful for the daughter you have left behind. Your little girl is some what of a saviour in my eyes. My boy was going through a very hard troubled part of his life in fact it has been many years since i can say i have seen my son genuinely happy and loving life. My son was being consumed with a downward spiral in life in which i struggled to get him out of no matter how hard i tried, but then along came your girl and she showed him how to be happy again. I am very greatful that you had such a wonderful daughter as she gave me back my gorgeous happy son. With out you there would be no Trish and without her i would not have my son back. I want you to rest in peace knowing your daughter will be loved and looked after by myself and my son we will keep her under our wing for you. You should be one very proud father of your loving daughter she is a gem.
