Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Dad ! You may have thought I didn't see, Or that I hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to me, But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all, And that by now the missing you, would part. But Dad, I picked up everything, It's written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I am not me The woman that I am today; You built a strong foundation No one can take that away. I've grown up with your values, And I'm very glad I did; So here's to you, dear Dad, From your forever grateful kid. Too special to be forgotten Helena, Jim and family Love and miss you Dad, Mum & Margaret too xxx
