A week today x

Dear Daddy,

Well, it's been a week. An awful week, a week that has gone so fast. It's been 9 days since I saw you. We said goodnight, little did I know that it would be for the last time. I'm so glad I worked that Thursday night and had that precious time with you, chatting and laughing. I hope you knew that I loved you as a father but also as a friend. Your friendliness and happy nature lit this place up, my God you are missed. I loved hearing you and Gwyn laughing and joking, telling stories of your past antics, what fun you must have had on those rugby trips! We are getting a book for everyone to write the stories in, it says 'A wonderful life' on the cover and I think you did have a wonderful life. Dai buzz said you are with Byron having a pint! I hope you are enjoying heaven, you always used to say 'Jesus wants me for a sunbeam', well now he has you and you will be the brightest sunbeam in the sky, the one that makes everyone feel happy. Send my love to everyone up there and tell Victor thanks for coming to see me, if you ever want to come visit there will always be a warm welcome for you. I wonder if he was trying to tell me that you would soon be joining him, it's funny that it was your birthday when he visited me on that ouija board, tell him I'm so glad that he did.
I wake up every morning thinking I've had a nightmare, but it's real you aren't on this earth anymore. I will carry on looking after you though Daddy, I will be down to see you as often as I can and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you always,

Helen xx
