You have always been their in my life & given me good tips,

Like how to swim & ride my bike

And keep quiet while you kip.

Other stuff came naturally like our friendship.

For all the pocket-money lending,

And The hours listening to me venting,

For letting me off with lots of rule bending,

And believing me even when I was just inventing,

My respect for you is truly unending. 

As time is getting on its important that you know,

That you mean the world to me & helped to make me grow,

You are a great dad to me & my bro,

And I carry you in my heart wherever I go.

My memories of our adventures will never ever perish,

And please know that every day your strength & love I cherish.

So many special moments in each year,

But sharing them with you made them Dear,

Your a hero to me dad, so i never had to fear.

May you enjoy your day & an ice cold beer.

Happy Father's Day pops x

End of an era.

Today i helped my dad with some funeral arrangements for his brother.

Mixed emotions on my part as i really could think of a million other things to do.

I find it hard to pretend to like the guy after everything he has done to our family & the hurt he has caused but i would never wish him dead.

He died of cancer, probably the worst way anyone could die, he fucked his body up no end through out his life with various substances so some would say its his own fault.

The bottom line is, i would never wish him any pain - regardless of his past mistakes.

That aside i hope i went someway towards taking my dads mind of things by being the lovely daughter i am.

I made him laugh, taught him some more, much needed computer skills & watched the whole series of the royle family with him.

Mean wile he sipped away on beer and pulled funny faces at me - his ideal day off work.

Catch you later x
