As another new year arrives and with the news of another grandchild in June I reflect on another year without you and another grandchild who will not know what a great man you are and will miss your love as I do. It’s your birthday tomorrow darling and I will be thinking and missing you even more.
Love always xxxx T

It’s Father’s Day today
Second one since u went away
Sit here feeling empty
Don’t know what to say
I Remember when I was small u was fast and strong
Now I’m sitting here thinking
can’t believe that your gone
Growing up u hear of cancer
People dying it’s so sad
But u never understand the pain
until it is your dad
U know he was my hero
the best friend I ever had
We went thru loads of ups and downs
But he always had my back
And even to the end he fought it all cos he was a gee
But I’d give anything in life to bring him back to me
I miss our daily conversations cussing everyone
I miss you giving me advice bout what I’m doing wrong
I miss u playing your guitar singing your bad songs
I miss u being grandad on your wind ups making em strong
I wish u met our Kai Philip before u went to rest
But I know ur watching us up there biggin up your chest
I know your proud of what u made
U know we r the best
You gave us life and left us to crack on and do the rest
So this is just for u my g my dad up in the sky I love u for eternity until the day I die xxxx

A thousand words cant say how much you are missed.Today a year ago,St Georges Day ! was the day we had to say farewell.You was sent off to Heaven with Horses a Carriage ,Doves and lots and lots of love.You left us all our own memorys of our times with you.So, this passed year we reflected on them,weve laughed cried .So many emotions in one day,it hurts but we know its a tribute to you.
Today Simon's found it quiet hard,Seems to hit like a Steam Train.But hes played the tunes even wore Red all day ha ,that's a first.we done a minute silence too at 11.15 on the dot.
Family still doing you proud,strong,like a lion.But you know dont you 💓
Till our paths cross you will be forever in our thoughts and memorys .Keeping the faith and all that ! You know that ! ❤
Always missed a much loved bruv 💔
Brothers in Arms !

A year has passed since we said our last goodbyes but I say goodnight every night. My life goes on but in direction I did not plan or foresee. You should be here with me to share our older years and enjoy our grandchildren. I miss you so much. Love always T xxxx

Hi Phil,

a year not hearing your voice or a funny comment or having that glass of wine and putting the world right in our own way, and today would have been a glass or two.

in my own way i raise a glass to you and your family and all you stand for and the great man you are and the impression you made on so many people, and that counts ME.

miss you wills.

Happy birthday in heaven. First one since you left. Thinking of you even more today and missing you every day. Nine months next week but time is irrelevant and has stood still for me since you passed. I know one day I will adapt but could never accept. When we met 46 years ago the plan was that we would retire and grow old together but was not to be xx
Missing you and Love always xxx Teresa
