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
Merry Christmas dad...xxx
Dad, no matter how much time goes by it still doesn't make the pain go away not one bit,not in the slightest.I try and come and see you as often as my emotions let me. I hate the thought of you being alone as I know how social you were in life. I'm trying as hard as I can to get by it's just so hard without you here to guide me through the hard times that I'm going through now... I miss you dad I have got your signs that you sent me loud and vlear I believe that you are still near I'm thinking of you love always your girl Tricia xxx

Dad loving you was the best thing i eva was to do and missing you is the hardest thing ive eva had to do i miss you so much i wish you were here you would be proud of what i have finally found the courage to be able to do.I know that when you passed away you thought i'd never be able to do it but i have dad he is in jail right now...and i know that when i was in hospital that you wouldve been there to see me everyday so dad dont worry and please dont feel bad im not alone David looks after me and he misses you too he could talk to you you were great at that just listening you were great at everything you did especially at being a parent you knew what that word meant i miss you so much words cant even touch on how my world has changed since you were taken from us love always and forever David and Tricia xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amidst the grief and the pain comes the memories of long ago and the time we spent growing up, the laughter, the tears of the paths we took trying to take our place in the world that was.....I will never forget your contibution during your life amid the turmoil that existed and the pain that you suffered....I will never forget.
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

and soul.I saw the hurt you carried.I saw some of the struggles you had.Know this i always thought of you fondly.you were truly a courages man.this world will not be the same without you in it.peace forever.from your freind Sue-Ellen
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
