17 Years Gone From Our Lives Dad When I was little, you always knew Everything. As I grew, you showed me Everything. Little by little, you gave me Everything. What you've been to me is Everything. You walked ahead, always. You walked in strength and kindness. You walked in love that shone with warmth. Now I walk alone, but I feel you with me. We Love You So Much For Being The Dad, You Will Always Be, Superior! Helena, Jim & Our Family xxxxx

Another year without your smile, It feels like forever, it’s been a while. Since we had a laugh, a moan, a chat I talk to you but you don’t answer back. I miss you loads and loads grandad I’ll keep struggling along and try not be sad One day we will meet again, And until that point I’ll try and stay sane xxxx
