My Wonderful Dad

Today is my Dad's birthday and I really really wish he was still here. I know everyone thinks it about their Dad's but mine was the best, he was patient and kind, he was thoughtful and loved me and mum so much he was always there, which makes life cruel because he wasn't here to be the grandad I know he would have been. Blue monkey wasn't even walking when he became paralysed so they never ever got the chance to run around together and Pink monkey was in my tummy when he went - he never knew her and I think he'd have been so happy to have had a beautiful girl to go with the cheeky boy. It's been 18 months now and I think about him so often and I worry that he would be disappointed in me - I think that's my biggest fear but I really hope he's watching down and thinks ok it's not all gone to plan but she's not doing a bad job. I just wish he was here still because we could have so much fun together. On his last birthday we had pizza all squashed round his bed - the man who never liked cheese but liked pizza (figure that one out) and who hated fish but loved mussles and cockles!! Who loved his garden, his bowling, his holidays, his friends and most of all his family. Dad I miss you x x
